If dot gay is a domain, internet filters will more easily screen out websites--like some of them already do with the word "gay." However, "homosexual" will not be screened out, because that is the language of the oppressor. This is b.s. attempt to corral free speech and lay the groundwork for persecution and censorship.

Countries could easily block the whole .gay parent domain and cut off access to millions of people. I'm happy keeping my gay organization as a .org.

Yeah.. it's inconceivable that someone who isn't gay would have an office on Castro Street. Isn't there a law or something? “Schubert is actually hetero — which makes you wonder how/why he has a Castro Street address on his business card.”
