The internet isn’t gay enough. Less clicks, more dicks!

Don't worry, I had my Norton auto update last week.

Oh you silly gays….

Should there be a .gay Internet suffix?

Two for-profit groups are pushing for one. The Dot Gay Alliance (dotgay.org), out of New York City, is being led by a longtime gay activist. And dotGay (dotgay.com) is being spearheaded by a heterosexual German man in Riga, Latvia, who has incorporated a company in San Francisco.

In other words, there could be hotels.gay, provincetown.gay, match.gay and pride.gay Web sites. (Question: What would the popular Web site gay.com have as its .gay counterpart? Gay.gay? Gaydotcom.gay? Or does it not get a .gay counterpart?)

While both groups have left open the possibility of cooperating, they haven’t yet joined forces. Both groups say they plan on starting the application process with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or Icann, to create top-level domains, akin to .com, .edu, .org and .net.

Isn’t this the same nonsense that fat girls do when they walk around with shirts that say “Yeah, I am fat. Fuck you!”?

We get it… you are overly sensitive about your weight so you create this persona of someone who is, not only proud of their obesity, but hell bent on making sure you see how much they love it.

I have enough issues already. I really don’t want to feel like a fat girl when I visit my daily websites and blogs.

The problem with this idea is this. What do young gay men and woman do when they want to visit sites that may give them help or resources about homosexuality? If they happen to live with their parents or are searching from a location that considers homosexuality a topic worthy of being banned, they will have no access to these sites. I can imagine what would have happened if my parents had sat down and found out I had been looking at “Help-I think I may be gay.gay”. My mothers eyes would have exploded and she would have convinced herself my sexuality had everything to do with not going fishing enough as a child.

That actually happened…. oh  the shame.

Wouldn’t this kind of domain push revenue away from the non.gay domains? I don’t see how this kind of service will benefit anyone, besides those making money off of the registration fees. Not only does this seem a trivial issue, but it opens the doors for the Internet to become a maze of specialized domains and niche markets. (More so than it already is) It’s bad enough that we have to share the internet with Canada, now this? Two years from now we are going to be doing all of our research and Internet funnery from .fat, . bbw, .blackguy and .fistmeplease. When does the madness stop!

We even have the straights doing it now, as one of the two parties pushing for this, is a heterosexual man from Germany. You know he is just doing this so that he can make a list of all the gays… and you know what happens when Germans make lists of people they consider social deviants. It rhymes with schmallocaust.

Attention gay people, stop the madness! Not everything needs to be about our sexualiy. Let’s tone it down a bit and focus on important matters… we are starting to look more and more like Torrid shoppers everyday.

(I apologize for offending any fat chicks. I too share your shame. Cake?)
