Gay.com

Gay.com shares many of the same features as PlanetOut.com. It is for the gay and lesbian community with activities, news, events and politics. Gay.com is one of the Internet's pioneers in bringing gay men together. You join for free and once inside there are thousands of profile listings. It's hard not to be up front!

Full Access

The free account gets you in. But premium members, who pay a subscription, have far more features at their disposal. Hot lists, favorites, photos, chat, message boards and forum are all open to use, anytime 24/7 from any region of the world.

If you do go for a premium membership, you'll have access to support staff that can help with any or all problems you may encounter. Fill out your profile and preferences and you can be seen online immediately. It is best to be specific in who and what you are looking for to get the best results.

There are around 147,000 people at any one time looking through the personal ads so there's plenty of choice!
