Mann-o-Meter
Berlin's best-known advice
centre for gays offers help and
advice of all kinds. Apart from
psychological support in relation
to Aids, safe sex and coming
out, its counsellors offer help in
finding accommodation, give
support to those in troubled rela-
tionships and provide legal advice.
Mann-o-Meter is also a good
starting point for gay visitors to
Berlin who wish to find out abut
the gay scene - and, last but not
least, the café is also a good
place to meet people.
