Rainbow Geeks is a community for everyone who is Queer and Geeky. Do you feel at home under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella and do you love superheroes, fantasy, science fiction, board games, larp, roleplaying or anything geeky then we are the people (or dragons, goblins, ..) for you! Yay! One of us! One of us! ... Uhm .. are we overoverdoing it again?
Our Mission
LGBTQIA+ presence at geek events
There are tons of geek events from conventions to cosplay events to simple boardgame nights. Sometimes these events can be daunting for lgbtqia+ people. We want to provide a presence at these events so that our siblings can feel welcome and included there. Additionally, we hope our stands can be a safe space where lgbtqia+ people can find and talk to likeminded people.
Geek presence at Pride events
Want to show off your geeky side at pride events? We plan to join pride marches and show how gay you can be in cosplay! This way we hope to bridge the two communities and finally fill up the empty spots in our dungeons and dragons group.
Champion Inclusion
We're not superheroes, but we do want to fight for seeing more superheroes like us. LGBTQIA+ representation in the geekosphere is still sadly lacking and often when there's even a gay kiss there's a lot of backlash. We aim to counter that backlash.
Community
Most importantly, we are a community. Join us online and in person to find other geeky queer people and talk about anything from the latest fantasy book you've read to how to talk to your parents about binders.
