1) GLBT Support Group: Support for Healing
This site is about heterosexism. This slurl is a support group that discusses the aspects of life as a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender. It talks about the good and bad of living that lifestyle. Support for healing is a beautifully crafted island that is a networking place for people looking for comfort and support in a heteronormative (heterosexuality as the norm) culture.

This is a large gathering and networking area for gay and lesbian people looking to make new friends. They hold discussions on the topic of same sex marriage and pass out pro-homosexual rainbow stickers. They hold parades and parties almost every month.
3) LGBT Christian Community Church
This is a Christian church that is for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. It is a place to worship and practice your faith. It holds discussions bi-weekly regarding the Catholic Church’s stance on homosexuality and promotes change and acceptance for people like themselves.
4) Gay History Museum
This is a museum dedicated solely to Gay history and Gay pride. It has many exhibits about influential people in Gay history, HIV/AIDS, and much more. The museum welcomes everyone who is willing to be open minded about homosexuality.

This tour focuses on the social justice issue of heterosexism. The tour visits four locations within Second Life where alternative sexual orientation is not only accepted, but also encouraged. We take interested avatars all over Second Life, starting with a support group and moving to a networking site, a Christian Church open to all sexual orientations, and finally ending the tour at the Gay History Museum. Overall, this tour is very informative about real life issues faced by GLBTQ while also taking a look at the pride which surrounds these lifestyles.
