I’m also really proud of the work I did with DotGay this year.
From producing a second season of our Revry series in collaboration with Two Penguins, to raising over $168,000 for GLAAD and CenterLink: LGBT Centers, the safer internet we set out to create for queer people has grown into the most beautiful community — and the gayest brand on earth.
Thanks to Roxane Gay, George Takei, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and every single one of you who registered your .gay domain names this year.
That was fun. 🌈❤️
GAY IS GOOD.

The bar is low for the social media industry; Top platforms are unsafe for LGBTQ community, new report says.
According to GLAAD’s first Social Media Index report released Monday, the platforms have a ‘circuit breaker’ to slow down the harassment, bullying, and misinformation and discrimination, but they don’t want to do it because they are monetizing off of it, making the “entire sector effectively unsafe” for LGBTQ users and other marginalized communities.
Logan Lynn, an LGBTQ singer and musician, who has been harassed and bullied online, most notably for his provocative short film that accompanied his double album in 2019, believes GLAAD’s report is like an all-hands-on-deck call to arms that puts the platforms on notice.
“To have us all link arms and say ‘enough’ is long past due,” said Lynn, “I’m super moved that it’s going to happen.”
