lgbt-domain Domain

The top-level domain .lgbt is suitable for websites dealing with queer topics like homo, bi- and transsexuality.

The domain extension .lgbt has been around since 2014 and is a sponsored domain. The sponsor is the US company Afilias, which also owns other domains such as .pro, .info and .green.

The English abbreviation LGBT means "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual". However, the letters also stand for related topics such as intersexuality, polyamory, pansexuality, gender fluidity or asexuality. These areas are also summarized under the keyword "queer".

Among others, companies that target the queer community as their primary target group are eligible for .lgbt. The domain extension is also suitable for news websites that publish news from the lesbian and gay scene or want to educate about transgender topics.

Among the first individuals and organizations to register a .lgbt domain were a lawyer, a consulting firm, and an organizer of queer fairs. In the meantime, the registered websites also include organizations that advocate for the rights of queer people, as well as various blogs. Within the thematic field, the orientation of the website is accordingly wide-ranging.

Websites that use this domain extension advocate the clear classification of their internet site. Many website owners associate the top-level domain with a proud outing and a visible sign for potential online visitors.
