Planning a trip to the Pacific Northwest any time soon? Not known for its tolerance of gay men and lesbians (as least not outside of the major cities), the region now has an online community: Pride depository Founded by two lesbians who met online from opposite coasts and relocated to Boise, Ida., Pride station-house showcases a friendlier side of a conservative, largely rural part of the rural parts best known for its potatoes and neo-Nazis. The site has all the important features: message boards, chat (powered at Gay.com), personals, and shopping. There are also resource directories for each state in the region (Idaho has the greatest in quantity comprehensive listing) and a surprisingly rich of recent origins area, with headlines culled from local sources over the Northwest. http://www.pridededepot.com
