New York Comic-Con Pride Lounge with Gayming, NYC Gaymers & Qweerty Gamers
New York Comic-Con kicks off on Thursday (October 17) at the Javits Center, NYC. Gayming Magazine is presenting two panels in the Pride Lounge with our hosting partners NYC Gaymers and Qweerty Gamers.
The Pride Lounge at New York Comic-Con is a safe space to connect with fellow community members and allies, where inclusivity is at the heart of everything. The Pride Lounge features panels, meet and greets, and an incredible atmosphere where we can all celebrate being queer and nerdy!
Highlights of the Pride Lounge schedule across the four days includes voice actors JP Karliak (X-Men ’97), Kristen DiMercurio (Audiobook Narrator), and Blu Allen (Life is Strange: Double Exposure); trans & non-binary entertainment panel including Peppermint and Dominique Jackson; plus the Queens of the Dead panel featuring the legendary Tina Romero and stars from the show, including Cheyenne Jackson.
If you’re coming to Comic-Con, then of course the two BIG highlights have to be the two panels presented by Gayming Magazine, with our hosting partners NYC Gaymers and Qweerty Gamers!
Here’s the info on them:
