As we approach the holiday season, a day stands out that encourages us to pause, reflect, and give back to the causes we care about—Giving Tuesday. Since its inception in 2012, Giving Tuesday has become a global movement, inspiring millions to support charitable causes. This year, the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies have an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting organizations that champion equality and inclusivity. One unique way to contribute is by registering a .gay domain. Not only does this domain make a bold statement of support for LGBTQIA+ rights, but it also directly funds vital community organizations like CenterLink and GLAAD.
Giving Tuesday is more than just a day to donate; it's a day to create change. It was founded on the simple idea of encouraging people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a worldwide generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. On this day, people come together to support the causes they believe in, and for those who are passionate about LGBTQIA+ rights, there is a clear and impactful way to contribute.
The internet is more than just a place to connect with others—it's a platform to amplify voices, share stories, and advocate for change. The .gay domain goes beyond being just a web address; it's a digital space that represents the spirit of inclusivity, Pride, and activism. When you register a .gay domain, you're making a statement. You're showing the world that you stand with the LGBTQIA+ community and believe in equality for all.
But the impact of a .gay domain extends far beyond visibility. Twenty percent (20%) of all new domain registration revenue is donated to support CenterLink and GLAAD, two organizations that play critical roles in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights.
CenterLink is a nonprofit organization that strengthens, supports, and connects LGBTQIA+ community centers around the world. These centers are the heartbeat of the LGBTQIA+ community, providing essential services, safe spaces, and advocacy for individuals who often have nowhere else to turn. From mental health support to youth outreach programs, these centers are a lifeline for many.
By registering a .gay domain, you are directly contributing to the success of these community centers. The funds raised help CenterLink continue its vital work, ensuring that LGBTQIA+ individuals have access to the resources and support they need.
GLAAD is one of the most well-known organizations in the LGBTQIA+ advocacy space. For decades, GLAAD has worked tirelessly to reshape the narrative about LGBTQIA+ people in the media, ensuring that their stories are told with accuracy, fairness, and dignity. GLAAD's work is crucial in combating stereotypes, challenging discriminatory practices, and promoting positive representation of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
The revenue from .gay domain registrations helps fund GLAAD's efforts to amplify LGBTQIA+ voices and stories. Whether it's through media campaigns, public education, or advocacy, GLAAD is at the forefront of the fight for equality, and your support helps them continue this important work.
For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, Giving Tuesday is a day of solidarity and support. It's a day when allies and members of the community can come together to make a tangible difference. By donating to CenterLink, GLAAD, or purchasing a .gay domain, you are actively participating in a movement that seeks to uplift and empower LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Your contribution, no matter how small, has the power to change lives. It helps fund critical programs, support advocacy efforts, and create safe spaces for those who need them most.
This Giving Tuesday, consider the impact you want to make. Here are a few ways you can get involved:
Donate to CenterLink: Your donation will help strengthen LGBTQIA+ community centers, ensuring they can continue providing essential services and support.
Support GLAAD: Contribute to GLAAD's mission to amplify LGBTQIA+ voices in the media and promote positive representation.
Register a .gay Domain: By registering a .gay domain, you're not only making a statement of support but also ensuring that 20% of your registration fee goes directly to CenterLink and GLAAD.
Giving Tuesday is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to create change. Whether it's through a donation or by making a statement with a .gay domain, your actions can help build a more inclusive and equal world for LGBTQIA+ individuals. This year, let your voice be heard. Support CenterLink, support GLAAD, and make a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals.
Together, we can make this Giving Tuesday a day of true significance for the LGBTQIA+ community. Register your .gay domain today, or donate directly to these incredible organizations, and be part of a movement that champions love, equality, and acceptance.

Supporting LGBTQIA+ communities is more than flying a rainbow flag every June—it’s a commitment to fostering equality, acceptance, and respect for all. In a world where the LGBTQIA+ community continues to face systemic discrimination, legislative battles, and social stigma, allyship has never been more important. Showing up in meaningful ways requires more than surface-level support—it calls for action that drives change and uplifts marginalized voices.
