On June 28th, 1970, LGBTQ communities joined together to honor the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots. On this “Gay Liberation Day,” they marched proudly up New York City’s Sixth Avenue to Central Park. With every step, banners held high, they proclaimed that “Gay is Good” — and stood together to denounce prejudice, persecution, bigotry and hate. Thus, the modern Pride Parade was born.

Fifty years later, and in the same spirit of that momentous first march, we proudly launched a new space for LGBTQ communities — .gay.

In addition to years of preparation and listening to our friends, family and colleagues, we intentionally surveyed and listened to individuals who self-identify as LGBTQ. We also surveyed allies, business owners and people who do not identify as allies, to capture the broader public’s perspective.

it took them years of preparation to come out with this groundbreaking new tld. they had to consult both gay people and homophobic people to understand the implications of launching this tld.
