.lgbt domain FAQ
Who is a .lgbt domain meant for?
A .lgbt domain is meant for organizations, businesses and people serving LGBTQ+ communities, from community centers and health clinics to travel agencies, media and events. Registrars market it to national organizations and local groups alike.
It tells visitors who the site is for at a glance. That makes it a clear choice for a support group, a Pride event or a business that wants to be known as LGBTQ+ friendly.
Do I have to be LGBTQ+ to register a .lgbt domain?
No, you do not have to be LGBTQ+ to register a .lgbt domain, and there is no identity, membership or ownership check. Allies and businesses that serve the community have the same access.
The open registration keeps the extension available to the whole community and its supporters.
Are there rules on what a .lgbt site can publish?
Yes, the .lgbt registry's policy bars using a .lgbt domain in a way that is harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory or hateful toward the LGBT community. Anyone can report a site they believe breaks it.
For community and business sites, the rule works in your favor, because it gives the community a way to act against hostile uses of the extension.
How is .lgbt different from .gay?
.lgbt and .gay are separate extensions from different registries: .lgbt is run by Identity Digital, and .gay by Top Level Design, which launched it in 2020. Both are open to anyone and both have policies against anti-LGBTQ+ use.
.gay launched with a pledge to share part of its registration revenue with LGBTQ+ nonprofits, while .lgbt uses the broader acronym. An organization serving the whole community often fits .lgbt, and one focused on gay audiences may prefer .gay.
Should an organization register both .lgbt and .gay?
Registering both .lgbt and .gay can make sense for a well-known organization that wants to protect its name, with one address forwarding to the other. Smaller groups usually do fine with one.
Pick the one that matches the name your community already uses, and add the other if the name becomes widely known.
Can I use a .lgbt domain for an event like Pride?
Yes, a .lgbt domain works well for an event such as a Pride festival, film series or fundraiser, giving it an address that says who it is for. You can keep the site live year-round with the next date and past highlights.
If the event belongs to a larger organization, a page on the main site can link to the .lgbt event address.
Who runs the .lgbt registry?
Identity Digital runs .lgbt, having taken over Afilias, the registry that launched it in 2014 and opened it to the public in 2015. The registry handles reports of sites that break the .lgbt use policy.
If you see a .lgbt site used against the community, reporting it to the registry is the route to having it reviewed.
