The Gay Archipelago
The Gay Archipelago is an international continent of more than 60 sims which share traffic, conduct archipelago-wide events, and welcome LGBT newcomers to Second Life. The Gay Archipelago includes a variety of content, including business, shopping, entertainment, role playing, and services for the gay Second Life community. Linden Labs recently gave the Gay Archipelago its own region allowing it to expand but remain focused on and for the gay community.
The Gay Archipelago was founded by Fabrice Snooks as a place to meet, welcome and help LGBT people as well as to support the talents of its owwners, residents and merchants.
Purpose
The purpose of the Gay Archipelago is to provide a region where like minded individuals can live and shop and find services geared to their lifestyle. It helps owners and residents of sims to promote their businesses and events. It coordinates region-wide activities and events, promoting them to all of SL. It works to provide an orderly expansion of the region. It acts as one of the spokespersons for all gay people in Second Life. It provides a center for information not only for the Gay Archipelago itself but for all of gay SL. It aspires to be the first stop for gay people entering Second Life – a place of welcome, orientation and help.
What the Gay Archipelago is not
The Gay Archipelago
• is not intended to be the exclusive place for gay-oriented sims and activities. • recognizes the advantage of, indeed the necessity for gay people to live in and move through all of Second Life. • does not hold itself to be the exclusive representative of gays in SL. • is not profit driven. The Gay Archipelago committee is voluntary and there are no fees required from anyone living and working within the Gay Archipelago.
