    I’m confused.

    How does being proud to be gay, and using a name change service have anything to do with each other?

      I have the wild guess that this was done with trans people in mind.

        “This is open for absolutely anyone that wants a legal name change for any reason whatsoever,” she said.

        But yes, changing to a name that fits your gender is probably the biggest use case.
