    I preordered https://areyou.gay a while ago.

    I don't know what to put on it, but I would like to host a FAQ or something for people who are questioning their sexuality and make it v wholesome.

    I want to see whether Google will register google.gay

    Will they sue me for registering it?

    I'm not a native speaker; does gay unequivocally relates to romantic preference? Or can it also simply mean "joyful"?

    .gay sounds like a great way to champion gay rights for a given place or brand. I hope it will become a typical pattern and actually do some good in the world.

    Just checked and yes, enola.gay is registered. That was inevitable, I suppose, if a bit regrettable. (Edited for clarity.)

    Wow there's a lot of childish homophobia coming out in the comments here. I (naively?) thought that HN would be better than that for some reason?

    At last! What I've always wanted.

    Before anyone gets any ideas:

    nvidia.gay is up for grabs at 2k euros. I wonder if they'd buy it off you.

    How about .straight and .bisexual?

    Why is it .gay and not .lgbt? Seems like the latter would be more inclusive.

  • by mmm_grayons on 9/17/2020, 1:42:12 PM

    Sadly, thatsso.gay is akready taken. That would have been a really funny domain to have.

    This opens the flood gates for TLDs for every community under the sun (as long as it is PC, of course). There is gold at the end of the rainbow... But really this trend of multiplying TLDs ad infinitum has been going on for years because it's free money.
