About Us

Boston Gaymers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to providing a joyful community experience for LGBTQIA+ Gamers across Massachusetts. Founded in 2017, we unite over a shared love of gaming culture and strive to elevate marginalized voices within the gaming community.

Our mission is to create safe and welcoming online and in-person spaces for our members to engage with their local gaming community. We also work to improve the broader gaming community to better serve marginalized gamers through outreach and involvement, and give back to the local community through fundraising and visibility.

We have a strong online presence, with our Discord server serving as a central hub for interactivity, announcements, and event planning, including online game sessions, virtual showcases, and in-person outings. Our community consists of over 3,000 LGBTQIA+ members from various identities and sexualities.

Since 2018, we have raised over $35,000 for local charities through marathon streaming and other events. We also actively participate in the gaming community through exhibiting at events like PAX East, FanExpo Boston, and BostonFIG, and by hosting or participating in panels and lectures at events such as PAX Online, FanExpo Boston, and Gayming Live.
