GaymerX
GaymerX, or GX is a fan facing, LGBT-oriented gaming and geek culture, or gaymer, convention, with panels primarily focused on LGBT issues and debates in the gaming industry, founded by Matt Conn.
==Origin of GaymerX==
GaymerX was founded by Matt Conn, a "twenty-seven-year-old gay man and lifelong gamer" who felt E3 was an unwelcoming place for LGBT gamers. The first instance of GaymerX was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaymercon/gaymercon-everybody-games )〕 and occurred on August 3–4, 2013 in San Francisco, CA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boingboing.net/2012/08/16/planning-for-a-gay-old-time-at.html )〕 Organizers have said the event is about uniting gay gamers, not creating a division among gamers,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GaymerCon is about uniting gay gamers, not separation )〕 as they want to create a "safe place" for LGBT gamers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/08/gaymercon-wants-to-provide-a-safe-place-for-lgbtq-gamers/ )〕
The planned convention began with significant news coverage of its initial Kickstarter launch, but the event achieved more widespread attention after the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, known widely as a hate group that pickets espousing homophobic statements, announced that they would protest the convention,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gay Gaming Con To Be Protested By Westboro )〕
GaymerX began with a Kickstarter project launched on August 1, 2012, which was covered by sites such as Examiner and GamePolitics.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GaymerCon Raises over $14,000 in Two Days )〕 The convention raised over $14,000 in its first two days,〔 exceeded its goal of $25,000 as early as August 6,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.shacknews.com/article/75165/lgbt-convention-gaymercon-secures-kickstarter-funding )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaymercon/gaymercon-everybody-games )〕 and ended with over $90,000.〔 Throughout the fundraising campaign, organizers added new support levels, in addition to existing support levels that include admission to the event and voice acting from Ellen McLain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/8191/article/ellen-mclain-summons-glados-to-voice-support-for-gaymercon/ )〕 At a session during the convention, McLain took part as assistant on a marriage proposal to help an attendee propose to his boyfriend by voicing a version of the song Still Alive with reworked lyrics.
