New Mexico is a pretty gay-friendly place in general, especially Santa Fe, with its cosmopolitan attitude. Only in the smaller villages will locals look askance.
Common Bond (tel. 505/891-3647) provides information and outreach services for Albuquerque's gay and lesbian community as well as referrals for other New Mexico cities. A recorded message on this phone line gives lists of bars and clubs, businesses, and publications, as well as health and crisis information and a calendar of events. Volunteers are on hand (generally in the evenings) to answer questions. Another good resource is www.gaynm.com, a website that provides news, resources, and lists of events.
