Dot-gay bid fails again: This time because it is too gay

Dot-gay bid fails again: This time because it is too gay
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/09/dotgay_application_fails_again/

This time last year, the applicants for the internet top-level domain .gay were stunned to find that their application to be recognized as a "community" was rejected because they weren't gay enough.

After successfully arguing for re-evaluation and waiting nine months for the result, Dot Gay LLC has now been told the self-same application has been rejected again. But this time because it was too gay.

...

It's nothing to me either way if there is a .gay TLD, but it really gets me how "gay" still gives 'em the screaming whim-whams.

These are not right wing religious crazies after all.
