Determining whether or not to apply the ultimate slur of Internet derision to a site whether its gay or not might become a lot more subjective a process, if two competing for-profit groups have their way. Each wants to spearhead the development of a .gay suffix for use in internet domains.
The two groups arent very different.. One is the Dot Gay Alliance at dotgay.org, headed up by Joe Dolce, a longtime gay activist who got the idea when helped creating the .eco domain. When Al Gore said he would support .eco if half the proceeds from the registration went to environmental groups, Dolce got thinking: what if .gay proceeds went to gay rights groups?
Its a very novel way that doesnt involve putting your hand out, doesnt involve another benefit or charity function, said Mr. Dolce. This is a community that has to sustain itself. There was very little help from the outside world, very little help from the government.
On the other side, theres Alexander Schubert, the Berlin-born chief executive of dotGay. Intriguing, Schubert is not gay himself: All these years, I thought about the perfect top-level domain. I came to the conclusion that it should be community like the gay community, he said. I am personally not gay. I am born and raised in Berlin, which is the gay capital of Europe.
As to whether Schubert intends on donating money to gay causes, he says he will but not being gay himself raises questions to his motives, or whether or not hes simply a businessman trying to attain a lucrative new domain suffix for his own uses.
Either way, both groups intend to pursue .gay at ICANN in Seoul, South Korea next week. The Internet may be about to get a lot more transparently segregated
bizarrely enough, in the name of equality.
Why draw this out? Let’s just blow our collective brains out and get this over with.
I prefer this. That way I know not to click on the disgusting stuff.
hey you stole my line.
I say that on a daily basis.

Sure, why not.

Please refrain from using terms like “BLOW” when discussing homosexual issues. It gets the girlymen all excited.
Other terms to be avoided:(Feel free to add any we might have forgotten. We must all strive to be more sensitive to our gender confused fellows.)
Suck
Rear
Fist
Gerbil
But
Johnson
Tool
Facial
Cream
Teabag
Nuts
Balls
One infallible sign of the descent of a form of technology into decadence is when political operators arrogate to themselves the ability to make technical decisions. It is also one infallible sign of government by commissar. 0bama's allies would be more than happy to do for the Internet what they've done for General Motors. Watch it happen.
How about .homo or .fag?
Nevermind. I was going to suggest something bad but I realized it would be wrong so decided not to.

No doubt DGC is responding to the 1347th playing of that “Kenny G” CD on the left.

One day, I went to make a cup of tea, and found that my wife (who was out at Johnson's Salon getting a facial) had used the last teabag. "Nuts," I said, pounding my fist on the table.
Since I figured I had to go the store, I thought I had better check the fridge. Sure enough, we were out of cream.
While I was out to pick up groceries, I stopped by the hardware store to pick up a new attachment tool for our shop-vac that would help it suck more effectively.
While walking to the car, I noticed that the neighbor's kid's gerbils were out on their driveway rolling around in those plastic balls. I thought I would tell them about it, but I was a in a hurry to get going, so I didn't.
