And when we say GAY, we mean, it\u2019s an inclusive space that upholds LGBTQ people and causes and doesn\u2019t follow the internet\u2019s do-nothing status-quo when it comes to bullying and hate. Whether you identify as LGBTQ or allied, .gay stands with you! And at 3 characters \u2014 just like .com and .org \u2014 you can be sure&nbsp;that everyone will know a .gay URL means WELCOME TO THE GAY INTERNET.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/n8waIq9_mcAlhkUZuk-aE1QA9K8qeoYC44tCU0ga1zabjbL2EkLbGi6Q0AQLStz9kQuMCHmwxnGZriTPlA3q1X6xZ41808p8P69Xj9_XwhbGy0gk7LbykknCOK7SLJ-OMTh1lEz3\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>.Gay is the internet\u2019s new pride flag.

In its inaugural year, .gay has partnered with the preeminent GLAAD, which, yes, has been doing important work aimed at empowering LGBTQ people in media representation even before Taylor\u2019s shout out. Equally important is .gay\u2019s beneficiary partner CenterLink, which is an umbrella organization of over 250 LGBTQ community centers around the world. Each center is doing vital, life-saving work in their community, and CenterLink makes them stronger together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/GUdfQDE6TwNnYdWCoASz-ihKA0zo8CG9H5PVKNDnyNtUNfauZCzW5eHyK2IzZB0rpFocG9Nf3j_s4WGzL5-IWMdSK5fUmO53NuUhvayAYviGq6IyJT9-G62_9xSzp3oPKRoRmkDA\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>.Gay is going to take down domains associated with reported and verified anti-LGBTQ hate and harassment?!

While .gay can\u2019t change the whole internet (although we would if we could \u2014 please, gay overlords!), it has an industry-first policy that will allow it to suspend domains that are being used by hate groups or otherwise have hateful, anti-LGBTQ content.

These use cases show that the .gay community will reflect the diversity of the world\u2019s wider LGBTQ communities. One site stuck out to us: <a href=\"http:\/\/grindr.gay\">grindr.gay<\/a>.
