What we’re about
Vancouver Gaymers is a social group for Vancouver's LGBTQ+ geeks and gamers.
Our Discord server hosts ongoing chat, video gaming, and events are also posted here: https://discord.com/invite/NdKfJQ7
This group started back in 2009 by a group of friends meeting at local Tim Hortons and libraries. It has since grown into a group of people united by our love of gaming and geek culture. We hold monthly events that offer a safe space for LGBTQ+ people to be themselves.
You can also join our closed Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/vancouvergaymers/
We also run the group Gays and Games New West on Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/GaysandGamesNW/ - Vancouver Gaymers is now the primary group.
