Pittsburgh gay meetup

Pittsburgh Gaymers is a community primarily focused on playing video games online and in person with the goal of connecting the local LGBT community and allies through the mutual affection of gaming~

This group is exposed to ALL, no matter your race, gender identity, or orientation! All skill levels are welcome — no matter if you’re a veteran gamer or someone who’s casually interested in the hobby, I hope to provide something fun for you!

Group events will take place both online and offline. Online events will be hosted over Discord, and, as the group grows, I hope to host offline “couch co-op” events. Some games we currently play are:

• Dead by Daylight
• Mario Kart
• Jackbox
• Pokémon Go
• … and anything else that looks fun!

Please keep in mind that this group is for adults only. You must be 18 or older to participate.

Join us on our Discord server, Pittsburgh Gaymers.
