Domain Extensions / .gay
.gay domains
The .gay domain is a general-purpose extension created for the LGBTQ+ community and the people, brands, creators, and organizations that serve it. It stands apart in two ways: the registry enforces an anti-harassment and hate-speech policy to keep the namespace safe, and a share of every registration is directed to LGBTQ+ nonprofit organizations. That makes a .gay address both a clear statement of identity and a small act of support. Registration is open to anyone worldwide, whether you are an individual building a personal site, a creator, a community group, or a business that wants to show it stands with the community. For pride events, creators, advocacy, and inclusive brands, .gay says exactly who the site is for.
The domain that gives back to the LGBTQ+ community.
Why .gay
- Gives back
- The registry pledges 20% of revenue from new .gay registrations to LGBTQ+ nonprofits, with GLAAD and CenterLink as named beneficiaries.
- Protected
- Registry policy bans anti-LGBTQ hate content - offending domains can be suspended, a protection almost no other extension offers.
- Open to all
- No eligibility rules: LGBTQ+ creators, community organizations, venues, and allied brands can all register.
