thats not what i was implying.

i was stating that its not the most pc term in the world.

im sure the site will do fine simply because of keyword placement and your marketing. but 'gays' as a word comes across very negative to the gay community. :2 cents:

guys, girls, gays.

gay is not equal to gays. different words with different implications.

gays is plural. its like saying "look at those gays over there"

no straight person could ever understand, sorry.

Thanks to the master domain negotiating skills of one of our venture partners Sal.

Yes.

I'm in awe of the deals he finds and puts together. He is a genuis at dealmaking.

Well its time to start changing the misconceptions isn't it?

no disrespect, but if a see a bunch of chicks i would say look @ them chicks..i never know most 'gays' sorry :1orglaugh but i nver knew this was a disrespectful term...

it's cool though. i hate to use KRL thread for this...but congrats KRL :glugglug

Dawgy, btw we're also going to be utilizing the site for more than just gay adult entertainment, and will be providing both financial and politcial support to further the rights of gay men and women.

If you have any organizations, links, etc. please forward them to me so we can include them in the site's political action section.

Thanks!

misconceptions?

i agree, in the end, its just a word.
gays. fags. ******s. wetbacks. spiks. etc.

just stating my opinion as one of these 'gays'
that gay people may initially have a
less-than-positive reaction to it. :2 cents:

Exactly. That's the "twist" of what we're doing here.

Changing the negative to a positive. And helping to further the end of the disciminatory attitudes and opinions towards the gay community.

The right wingers need a bigtime wakeup call that you can not isolate, discriminate and have prejudicial policies and laws simply based on one's sexual preference and orientation.

This outdated attitude has to be chucked out to pasteur like all their other extreme fundamentalist opinions on sexuality.

let me take a stab at it...

does it imply or connote that someone from 'outside' the gay community is referring to the gay community?

ala ArchieBunker-esque?


and if so, what is the more pc term to refer to the gay community collectively?

just curious...




PS: Kick ass score KRL! I'm sure it is a great addition to the current project you're working on...




:thumbsup :thumbsup

well u know i have much respect for you and i think youll do fine with this project. certainly if you can make it into something positive itll be a good thing. :thumbsup

Is it time to LIBERATE some conservatives?

:winkwink: :thumbsup

LOL yeah exactly.

gay community... i guess? i dont ever talk about straight people as a group, nor do i talk about gay people as a group. so, i really have no idea. i dont ever hear anyone talk about either as a group, except in negative terms...

"these fucking heteros!" j/k

Promote: www.boysgonebad.com

An excellent idea, and converting AMAZING for affiliates. :)

he meant you should have bought fags.com instead. they love when you call them that :1orglaugh j/k

if you're saying 'gays' comes across as a bad word to homosexual men then why use the term 'gay' to describe the male homosexual community yourself?

yeh, I didn't think so either but was curious if one existed that I hadn't heard of...

Join the fight against the stupid right wingers that want to change the U.S. Constitution to take away rights from certain groups of people!

Yes. Its not right, its not fair, its not consistent with the core principals of liberty, freedom and justice for ALL upon which the founding fathers built the vision for this great country.

Thanks Brad. Nice!

If it can happen to one it can happen to another. United we stand, divided we fall. Its as simple as that.

Heya KRL,

We've got several gay sites in our stable of sites that do quite well.

http://gaymengalore.com/main.html

http://buttbangboys.com/main.html

http://cornholecruisers.com/main.html

Any questions give me a shout.

I think the negative comes from it being used as a noun versus as an adjective. With no inflection, "Look at those gay guys" versus "Look at those gays".

In the long run I doubt this will matter. Topbucks does have good gaysites and nastydollars, boysfirsttime does well for me.

Good luck!

amen to that, I was actually agreeing with ya...

:thumbsup

its like any other word, it depends on how its used:
:2 cents:

Thanks!
It's my pleasure to work with the very best in the business. Also allot of the credit once we start will go to one of our marketing guys, we'll call him "R" for now :) .. another genius on his own and will be a huge influence on our business.
Gays.com is one of many ventures we're bringing together. It is also the perfect match to men.com . Big plans. Stay tuned.

But when you talk singles online, you do refer to them as groups, since the sites usually market profiles, not A profile.
Women
singles
men
Guys
girls
Gays

No offense, but you guys maybe trying to hard to redefine a negative term. It may not work imho...

For example I didn't realize Jewish people didn't like to be refered to as a "J-w," although I've heard it in plenty of movies, t.v. news etc. and have quite a few Jewish classmates and friends.

:2 cents:

emailed...

:thumbsup

Got it K-Man.

:thumbsup

nice catch krl.

i find that the term gay.com is more about sexual orientation and lifestyle.

i find that gays.com is reffering to bunch of guys whom are gay.

i can see where that would lead to that term being negative.. but only for the squeemish.

good luck on ur campaign.

congratulations on the catch mate!

you definately need to try www.gunzblazing.com.
here are some stats from www.sexgaymes.com:

talk to brian on ICQ 169111106 for anything you need whatsoever.

nice conversions!!

Wow, great news! That excites me more than men.com. :Graucho I think as long as you're respectful with the domain, the surfers will see that and know where you're coming from. I have a good link I'll send you.

yeah man! Brian has done an absolutely awesome job with the sites, he's got a great understanding of the gay market.. couldn't deal with a nicer guy either.
I'm proud to be a partner in gunzblazing.com

KRL, please do search for Gay sponsors at Sponsors List.com, where you can quickly find every gay sponsor out there. You can define the search by other criteria you are looking for (hosted galleries, free content...). Good luck.

Hershie,
Nice site there.. we do have the sponsors.com domain here. One day we'll get to it too :)

Maybe we can have a gay couple get married right here at GFY I know two loverboys who can't keep their hands off each other for months now. In fact everyone knows them here.



side note- start a gay convention once a year. big rock hard bucks in that idea$$$$$$:winkwink:
