I want to see whether Google will register google.gay

Will they sue me for registering it?

According to WHOIS, google.gay was registered on February 11th. (Rights-holders are allowed to get in early through the sunrise process to prevent exactly the kind of squatting you're hypothesizing, though not typically this early.)

OTOH, you can probably get away with apple.gay, as long as you don't make your site too specific to apple computers.
Too late, already registered on February 19th.
duckduck could be a nice domain
Yes. Google can enforce its trademark and take over the domain name.
Yes. Can't wait for them to ask me.
teengoogle.com is still going strong
