GotGame: As the gaming culture grows and evolves, it is natural to see gaming subcultures develop organically. Gamers who share a common bond, such as a genre, series, or platform. And in their formative stages, it may be easy to look past these needs.
Marcus Estrada writes: "Video games are something that a vast amount of people are able to enjoy. Young, old, married, African American, hearing impaired, straight, genderqueer, Caucasian, disabled, Catholic, Democrat, and so many other labels are all interacting in the gaming world. Yet, the stigma of gamers as a homogenous group of teenage to twenty-something year old cisgender white males pervades."
CCC Says: "Many of you probably haven’t heard of Gaymer X, a gaming convention that is specifically made to be a safe space for LGBT members of the gaming community. Well, it’s the convention’s second year running, and it’s growing rather quickly. In fact, its first year was larger than most first year conventions ever get. Sure, it doesn’t hold a candle to PAX, but at 2,300 attendees in year one, it had more people show up than Otakon did in its first year, or even San Diego Comic Con!"
Collaboration with the largest LGBT cable television network cements movement of queer geeks into the mainstream.
Uh you guys know you're welcome at regular conventions. Honestly I don't think this is needed. What would be the difference in a gay gamer convention?
