Saudi government objects to .gay domain name endings
The government of Saudi Arabia has objected to several proposed new Internet address endings, including .gay.
It is believed by the ruling powers of the country that a .gay domain would promote homosexuality and offend many societies and cultures.
On the grounds of protecting cultural and religious sensibilities, Saudi Arabias Communication and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has so far filed objections to over 30 domain extensions, including .bar and .baby.
The CITC said: Many societies and cultures consider homosexuality to be contrary to their culture, morality or religion.
The Saudi government believe that such a name as .gay could be used to host porn websites, adding that pornography undermines gender equality and threatens public morals. Their objections to a number of sex-related top-level domains, including .porn, .sexy, .adult, .hot, .sex, .dating and .virgin. are the same.
