A convention dedicated to the LGBT gaming community has reached its Kickstarter crowdfunding target of $25,000 with more than 23 days left to go. The event, called Gaymercon, will go ahead as planned in San Franscisco on August 2013.
At time of writing, the project page has reached over $35,000 - new stretch goals have been put in place to add a games concert to the convention, and to introduce a celebrity as a guest of honour.
"Community is important. We believe that there are a great amount of Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, Gender Queer, and Bisexual folks out there, of every color and creed, that at the end of the day, love to geek out," reads the Kickstarter page.
"Geek about video games, tabletop games, tech, comics - all that fun stuff. And we believe that creating a community for these folks, Gaymers as they are affectionally dubbed, is important to help shape a more tolerant and safer space in gaming. After all, everyone games."
If you want to help add to the massive contribution already made, check out the Kickstarter. And if you're still not convinced, here's GLaDOS.

So they don't like being singled out, then they go and pull crap like this? if 'everyone games' why don't we all game together? why do you feel the need to single yourselves out?
