Today the .gay domain is celebrating its 2nd anniversary on the market with the release of its 2nd annual Impact Report and a variety of DotGay Day celebrations.
“Now more than ever, LGBTQ+ visibility, community connection, and the distribution of health information is paramount. We’re proud to amplify representation and foster digital Pride by broadly sharing .gay with the world.” said Ray King, CEO. “We’ve already seen incredible interest and support from Fortune 100 companies and small businesses to LGBTQ+ brands and public figures, with over 20,000 .gay domain names registered to date.”
Since launching in 2020, .gay has created a global platform which upholds, funds, and celebrates LGBTQ+ communities, and in so doing, has created a brand culture that LGBTQ+ organizations, individuals, brands and companies see as valuable.
With today’s release of its second annual Impact Report highlighting .gay’s community impact and giving through 2021, it’s clear that the domain continues to make a difference.
The .gay domain has proven that it:
- Helps elevate and legitimize community ideas, businesses, and projects while connecting allies directly to an authentic queer network
- Highlights businesses as allies by providing them with a .gay domain to show their customers their support for LGBTQ+ communities year round
- Strengthens LGBTQ+ inclusivity in companies and brands through the .gay partner network, donation model, and generating brand awareness and recognition as allies by using the .gay domain
- Advances corporate efforts in promoting their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
From prominent brands like Bath and Body Works, El Jimador Tequila, and Instinct Magazine to out celebrities like Jasmine Kennedie, Roxanne Gay, and George Takei, to LGBTQ organizations like Brooklyn Community Pride, Hudson Pride Center, and The Trevor Project, the .gay community has grown into one of the most vibrant, diverse, and supportive spaces on the internet — all the while raising and donating over $167,000 to GLAAD and CenterLink to date.
“Wow wow wow! Looks like my friends over at DotGay more than followed through with their pledge to raise a ton of money for the LGBTQ+ community,” Star Trek actor and LGBTQ+ activist George Takei continued, “Very impressive!”
Additionally, .gay has announced that they will be releasing 5 new episodes of their series “The Library”, produced in partnership with Two Penguins Productions, every Friday over the coming 5 weeks, beginning today (9/16/22). Watch the first new episode, full seasons, meet the cast, and more at www.TheLibrary.gay and on Revry TV.
