I don't know what to put on it, but I would like to host a FAQ or something for people who are questioning their sexuality and make it v wholesome.
person-name.areyou.gay ?
http://whyareyou.gay http://whosaysim.gay http://youare.gay
And have them play the appropriate clips from that interview, then maybe redirect to the next one.
function areYouGay() {
const cached = localStorage.getItem('isGay');
const isGay = (cached ?? false) ? Number(cached) : Math.random();
localStorage.setItem('isGay', isGay);
return (isGay < 0.5) ? 'Yes' : 'No';
}How did your even find out about it? Do squatters have a newsletter on new domain sales or something?
Will they sue me for registering it?

Which subgroups/tendencies show up in the comments is therefore more a question of the particular thread: the title, the topic, and the early comments. If it seems like "HN would be better than $X", that's only because we mostly manage to avoid the stimuli that produce $X responses.
But compare your average 8chan poster to your average HN poster and you'll see that for sure not all online communities are the same.

I'd say they just picked the most generic thing that they thought would make the most money.
All in all, the use of gTLD names to reinforce identity is stupid. .com and .org mean company and organization. It's the words before those letters that define the type of company or organization you are, that's where your identity is supposed to lie.
But that does not mean all HN posters are free of being hateful/discriminating against certain groups of people. Be it by accident or willfully.
There is no "entity in charge" of the LGBT acronym, no central authority approving, adding or removing letters, or any particular concern over "alienation" from adding or removing letters. It's a cultural idiom, not an ISO standard.
Regarding its "nebulous" nature and "motives," quoting from Wikipedia[0]:
The initialism, as well as some of its common variants, have been adopted
into the mainstream as an umbrella term for use when labeling topics
pertaining to sexuality and gender identity.
The initialism LGBT is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and
gender identity-based cultures.
And if you're instead talking about the registrar, they're not a mysterious entity, and their motives are clearly spelled out on their policy page[1].
This despite going through the unnecessary effort of making an entire, completely off topic top level comment announcing how confused and alienated you were by the gay community and how you wish they would just stop being so visible so you didn't have to think about gay sex all the time.
I mean, I'm sure the gay community appreciates your concern and apologizes for the inconvenience, but it seems like you're trying very hard to start a tempest in teacup without even any tea to stir. Don't worry, the gays will be fine.

Going out of your way to offend me. Nice. "Tolerant".
