A New and Safer Digital Experience With .gay
When it comes to domain extensions, .gay stands apart with its clear commitments to support LGBTQIA+ communities. The .gay Rights Protections Policy provides a clear and enforceable protocol to take down hateful content and deal with any intentional slandering of LGBTQIA+ individuals or groups.
20% of all new .gay registration revenue (not just profit!) is donated to LGBTQIA+ organizations to help address key issues facing these communities.
By championing these initiatives, .gay aims to create a platform where LGBTQIA+ people can feel celebrated, supported, and most importantly, protected.
“Finding my .gay domain and the platform of creatives it unites gave me an instant sense of safety and community in an online environment. I hope it ignites many inspiring connections and collaborations!”
