GAYmobile is the name of a new mobile network provider that is targeting homosexual subscribers in Denmark.

GAYmobile is offering services that are gay all the way and 25% of the profit will be channeled back to the gay community via a special fund called GAYtrust, according to the CEO Thomas Bilgram who is also the head of Copenhagen Pride.
GAYmobile's service line - called HOMOBILE - might soon be offering a wireless dating service as well as subtle ringtones that indicate the users sexual preferences.

Gimmicky, with a 'hook' of being purely for gays? Oh dear.

sick.. i mean.. no offence to anyone but.. ( i know this'd start another discussion - PLEASE DONT ) but is being GAY normal? if u know GOD made the women (and for those who doesnt beleev in GOD, nature created everything in PAIRS) so why not find yr true partner ... i.e. female!!!
this aint much normal anyways.. these things shud b condemned instead of promoted by such networks and aid given to GAYtrusts!

@ djX
Your views on gay people are better off in this topic. There you'll be able to discuss it with the members who are actually gay.

I think it's cool! Let everyone be what they are and if they get a discount on ringing each other; why not?

@tranquil, you always amaze me how you, whose mother language is not English, always manage to put into the perfect words that which I have just sat here for 10 minutes trying to phrase the right way, uncuccessfully!
I guess the topic of this thread does show that there is a market for everything and often a business person ready to provide what is required to fill that market no pun intended!

Masseur, I'm so so so so sorry, but my mind kept switching the "market" word for the "hole" word.

Very droll Krubach!

Is the service in Denmark alone? Whats the population? Its either very good tariffs or there is lots of Gays.

I have to say as 'a Gay' I can't stand these marginal services. All they do is continue the popular myth that we all live a certain lifestyle. It really does make me sick. What on earth different am I doing with the phone than any other person.
Should we now have black only mobile services, asian only text messaging and women only voice mail.
Good grief.

Peanut, good point. Just live everyone assumes all gay men are girly and pink. Those who buy into the service probably don't see that their merely being taken advantage of. Pooling people into a group for everything is boring. I think mixing us all together regardless makes us more rounded. Plus it teacher us tolerance.

Thing is, it's already mixed up. You have no way of detecting that your neighbour, friend, brother etc is gay. In some cases you can, in others, you can't. Why separate? It's just another form of discrimination. Besides, a gay man is no threat to you so what? U unsure about something...

a gay man is DANGER if he wants something with you...otherwise not.
