In Germany, due to its high number of registered users, GayRomeo is often called the "Gay Registry Office" (schwules Einwohnermeldeamt) or "The Blue pages" (Die blauen Seiten), referring to the well known telephone directories the yellow pages and the white pages. In a satirical reference to the Nazis' compilation of lists of homosexual men in the 1930s, the German newspaper "Taz" announced: "The pink lists are back".
Just like general Internet use, the use of GayRomeo varies depending on age, education level and other criteria. Even politicians are known to use the services of GayRomeo. For example, member of the German Parliament Volker Beck (Green Party) offered virtual consulting hours on GayRomeo during the election campaigns of 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word countries:
“The American adolescent, then, is faced, as are the adolescents of all countries who have entered or are entering the machine age, with the question: freedom from what and at what price? The American feels so rich in his opportunities for free expression that he often no longer knows what it is he is free from. Neither does he know where he is not free; he does not recognize his native autocrats when he sees them.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
