With more and more lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQueer) people “coming out” and narrating the stories of their lives on the Internet, it is worth asking how computer technology is being used by queers2 to communicate, make contact with others, create community, and tell the stories of their lives. 3 Certainly one of the great advantages of contemporary Internet technologies is the overwhelming wealth of information and connectivity it brings. Some young queers, for instance, have taken up the mantra,“We’re Teen, We’re Queer, and We’ve Got E-Mail,” the title of a frequently anthologized piece by Steve Silberman (1997) on the power of the Internet to dispense information and foster contacts about subjects, such as homosexuality, that continue to have little wide-spread currency or validation in public discourse. According to Silberman, young Internet-savvy teens can “follow dispatches from queer activists worldwide, hone [their] writing, flirt, try on disposable identities, and battle bigots—all from [their] home screen [s]”(p. 59). And indeed, gay chat-rooms, queer Web Rings, homo-themed synchronous (real-time) and asychronous (timedelay) communications platforms abound, as queers of all ages “come out” on the Infobahn to tell their stories and make contact with one another. Indeed, online queer communities seem to proliferate in cyberspace at light speed, and Internet savvy organizations, such as Digital Queers, have surfaced to provide “technological support to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender organizations
