Q So, what’s “NEW” about LGBTQ.ONE? And WHAT is this “DOT ONE”?  

A The truth is, just about everything about LGBTQ.ONE IS new, including the DOT ONE.  Most folks recognize the LGBTQ, as a diverse global community, open to all, emerging in the 1970’s and is pretty much universal today.

THE ONE, However, offers a bit more History is and a LOT more Mystery. The ONE movement was the very first public GL entity in the United States, and was organized in San Francisco, in 1952. and is Still a powerful force today in the community, fewer people know about the power of ONE.

Q “So how did you get the “DOT ONE” URL, I have never seen that extension before, is it special?  

A We like to think so, I guess you could say we were in the right place at the right time. We knew what our mission was, and we were researching the site names available at the time. None of them seemed to convey EXACTLY what we were all about, what our statement was. Then we discovered that in 2016, the United States Government released an extension never before seen by the public, DOT ONE. We knew when we saw, LGBTQ.ONE. This was who we are!

Q The “DOT” in LGBTQ.ONE is a “Green Carnation” tell us what's going on there?  

A That is a wink and a tip of the hat to our friend Oscar Wilde. Taking us all the way back to 1894, and the novel “The Green Carnation” It’s a symbol of Oscar himself. In 1892, Wilde had one of the actors in Lady Windermere’s Fan wear a green carnation on opening night and told his young followers to wear them too. Soon the carnation became an emblem of Wilde and his group, an amusing parody of Wilde was published in 1894 called The Green Carnation and caused quite a stir.
