Isn't the open internet great? I can register a domain to use for my own purposes so I can also have a voice.
You don't have a voice that's why you're asking here. So someone gave you a good suggestion and you shit on it. You should let it expire or give it to a group who actually wants to do something with it.
.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.

Thinking that HN would be better than is a bit too hopeful of an assumption. Everyone is prone to bad / ignorant behavior. HN users being no exception.
I disagree. Some communities are actually much better than others on a variety of issues. I mistakenly thought that this was an issue HN would have been better and more mature on too, but I'm learning I was wrong about that. But compare your average 8chan poster to your average HN poster and you'll see that for sure not all online communities are the same.
But that does not mean all HN posters are free of being hateful/discriminating against certain groups of people. Be it by accident or willfully.

The quality of discussion on HN is generally quite low these days. But it's even worse on topics that touch on issues of social justice or relate to persecuted minority groups. Too many commenters here appear to be sorely lacking in empathy.
Would you say BLM bandits and looters are lacking in empathy when they are destroying small business? Or is that fine because some 160 years ago some black dude in Africa sold his countrymen into slavery?

You mean, the boogaloo bandits and looters? Because as much as people keep talking about BLM, the ones I see charged with actual personal and property violence in and around the protests are associated with the boogaloo movement and other right-wing (white-wing?) groups.

There's nothing stupider I've heard in quite a long time — and with Trump in office and his statements getting constant visibility because of that it's saying a lot — than trying to pretend white people had nothing to do with the institutionalization of slavery and racist policy more generally in America, and that it was all a product of some “black dude in Africa”.
Before anyone gets any ideas: >The use of .gay for anti-LGBTQ content or to malign or harm LGBTQ individuals or groups is strictly prohibited and can result in immediate server-hold. Prohibited behavior includes harassment, threats, and hate speech. For the complete policy, see: https://toplevel.design/policy
Who makes these rules? Who decides what is "anti-LGBTQ"? Will they keep adding on more letters to LGBTQ as they become available?
I am not against homosexuality as long as homosexuals are the minority and do not cause harm, but the normalization of homosexuality is something that simply is not going to happen unless most of the planet turns homosexual (and puts our very survival at risk).
I am in favor of respect for homosexual people as well as respect for any other person...
I am in favor that psychological damage should be imputed (insulting someone on the street saying "gay!" Does not count as psychological damage, because otherwise, someone yelling at me "small penis!" on the street would also fall into the category of "psychological damage")...
I am against the arguments (used by most of the LGBT community) to claim that homosexuality is something "normal", are not supported by scientific studies. (the largest study conducted (that I am aware of) on 500,000 homosexual people, reveals that, although their genetics are similar, there is no relationship between "homosexual genetics" and homosexual behavior: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6456/eaat7693)
Some of the LGBT community goals that I was able to research are:
1. Normalize homosexuality (to avoid the "psychological damage" mentioned above)
2. Legally defend homosexuals who receive psychological or physical harm (I already mentioned my position above)
3. Allow gay marriage (falls into the same category of "normalizing homosexuality" from point 1)
I do not know more objectives, if someone can tell me (or affirm if those are all the points) I would appreciate it.

So if I buy apple.is.gay, can I expect to be immediately sued by Apple for libel and/or have the domain seized on grounds of trademark infringement?

Why would they sue you for libel?

That's primarily what I was looking for clarification on. I have no personal malice against Apple, it was simply the first example that came to mind.

Because we good Americans never destroy property to “bring democracy” to other countries....
