#72I 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 think you should transfer the domain to a gay rights org or similar because this type of domain squatting is obnoxious. I mean, you didn't even have a plan for the domain, just registered it for the novelty.
This comment is the type of censorship-by-emotion thoughtlessness that makes people not want to support an advocacy group. There are a million other domain name options gay rights orgs can choose from. Use some creativity and come up with your own.

Find a copy of "Man of the Century" where this question is asked.

#74Before 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?
Firstly, the company overseeing the tld gets to make its own rules. For example, you'd have to go through Verisign at some point if you wanted a .com domain.
Second, the only things encapsulated by the term LGBTQ are sexual orientation and gender identity, two innately connected concepts. People can add as many letters to the acronym as they want but it doesn't change anything about the movement or the group as a whole.

I did not expect that people here would have needed that reminder to not come up with "funny" ideas
I did. And one needs only look at the sibling comment to yours to see early warning signs.
No kidding. The quality of the discussion on this thread is disappointingly low.

One of these questions is not like the others

#77Just checked and yes, enola.gay is registered. That was inevitable, I suppose, if a bit regrettable. (Edited for clarity.)

#78How about .straight and .bisexual?
Why not, we should all be able to announce our sexual preferences through our email address. But why stop there? Might as well make things clear with sub-domains. Bob@white.muslim.palistinian.overfourty.bald.fat.gay

#80Why is it .gay and not .lgbt? Seems like the latter would be more inclusive.
