Matt Conn is the founder of GaymerX, an annual video game convention for LGBTQ gamers and allies. But what is the intersection of being LGBTQ and being a gamer? Why does this demographic need its own con, and how is the queer community represented in video games? Ken Gagne of Gamebits interviews Conn, who is also the CEO of MidBoss, developers of the game Read Only Memories.
