.GAY domain name - Generic

It’s not just a domain... it’s OUR domain.

For LGBTQ individuals, organizations, businesses and their allies, .gay serves as a virtual Pride flag and inclusive badge of honour. A .gay domain helps everyone, whether small business, global organization or individual ally, express their support and celebration of LGBTQ communities.

Conditions

Please note: The .gay Registry Operator donates a portion of every registration to recognized charities focused on LGBTQ issue. Donated monies represent 20% of the .gay registry's gross registration revenue.

Availability phases

6. General Availability (ENDED)

General Availability (GA) is open-ended and it's when everyone can try to register the domain names they want in real time.
For most new gTLDs, we accept pre-orders for the General Availability launch on a first come, first served basis, and our systems will register domains the very second that General Availability begins. We accept only one pre-order per domain name, and you'll receive a full refund should we be unable to secure your domain name.
