The LGBT+ community has historically faced a significant amount of discrimination and bias, and today there are still 73 countries where it is illegal to be LGBT+. Even in countries where being LGBT+ is not illegal, members of the community face higher levels of intolerance, inequity and even violence. A community supported .gay TLD will ensure the community is protected from potential abuse.

Read the open letter sent from Michael Bach, Founder and CEO of CCDI, sent to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)  regarding the treatment by ICANN of dotgay
LLC’s (“dotgay”) application to administer the proposed .gay top level domain (TLD).
