#92Before 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?
Don't be a dickhead.

#93I 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.
Just have it run this function areYouGay() { const cached = localStorage.getItem('isGay'); const isGay = (cached ?? false) ? Number(cached) : Math.random(); localStorage.setItem('isGay', isGay); return (isGay
You really are a piece of shit, you know.

#94So 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?
How about you cut your own hands off so we don't have to read these stupid "dur hur hur Apple is GAY" comments in future?

#95Wow 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?
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.

#96Why is it .gay and not .lgbt? Seems like the latter would be more inclusive.
.lgbt already exists (afilias)

#97I feel really out of touch and alienated when it comes to this whole gay thing. I used to think I was progressive because I never have and never will care what people do to their own bodies, including whatever kind of sex they want to have, as long as nobody is being harmed involuntarily.
But now it seems that's not what is expected. Instead, you are expected to know and care about what sex people like to have. I just don't get it. Keep it to yourself. Why is it not OK to just not care about other people's private lives any more?

#98Why is it .gay and not .lgbt? Seems like the latter would be more inclusive.
Many in the LGBT community feel that the acronym does not accurately capture their identity. LGBTQIA+ is the currently acceptable acronym to use, so you can see how the use of .lgbt would be "harmful". Also, you can't have a + symbol in a TLD, which would also be considered "harmful" should it ever be up for implementation.
All in all, the use of gTLD names to reinforce identity is stupid. .com and .org mean company and organization. It's the words before those letters that define the type of company or organization you are, that's where your identity is supposed to lie.

#99Earlier quoted context omitted.
No kidding. The quality of the discussion on this thread is disappointingly low.
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?

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 right here sums up why Trump is gonna win again.
