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.

While there is no cover charge for the location we do ask to spend at least $5 on drinks/food while you are there. If you do not want drinks/food then please put $5 in the tip jar. This is not mandatory but does help us establish good relations with the venue that helps us put on these kinds of free events.
If you want to bring a board game or two from your collection, we would be thrilled. We will have an area for the board games library at the venue. Though please label your board games in case there are duplicates.
We look forward to seeing everyone there and hope you enjoy a "pleasant" evening.
