Do you know the story of the first Pride parade? Ever wondered what “ENBY,” “Polycule,” or “Genderqueer” means?

The Library is an interview series with LGBTQ+ luminaries, which offers bite-size education about gay history, heroes, fascinating sub-cultures, slang terms, scientific references, political movements, and more. When producing The Library, it was .gay’s goal to honor and celebrate the countless LGBTQ+ communities that have flourished in the face of adversity. With the launch of .gay, we not only want to offer a ground-breaking safe space on the Internet but celebrate the diversity and history of the LGBTQ+ communities we serve.
