What Is the History of .lgbt?
The .lgbt domain was successfully applied for under ICANN’s New gTLD Program and was delegated to the root zone on July 18, 2014. Afilias originally managed the registry, but operations were later transitioned to Identity Digital Limited. The domain was created to foster a trusted online space for LGBTQ+ communities amid community objections, which were ultimately dismissed after review by an ICDR panel. The Independent Objector found no basis under international law to block the TLD, noting strong support for non-discrimination and the value of a clear, identifiable namespace.
