  A Global Internet Identity for Gay People

  The possible creation of a 'dot gay' TLD could well be attractive for many in the worldwide community.  But it should come with a 'health warning', especially for businesses and commercial sites.  It is very easy for organisations to block sites with the word "gay" in the URL!  I get many complaints that people cannot access my site, ukgaynews.org.uk. Invariably the reason is because of a 'block' is in place, usually from US-made software, on the providers of the Internet connection.  Many of these "blocks" come within the USA itself!  I will always take-up the matter, inviting the organisation to visit the site and challenging them to find anything on my site that would not be out of place in, say, the New York Times or other such newspaper sites.  On one memorable occasion a couple of years ago, I found that I was not able to do a search on the words "Gaylord Ravenal"a character in Edna Furber's novel "Showboat", on a "public" computer in a library!  Be warned ....  But having said that, I have no problem with a "dot gay" TLD.
