GaymerCon Kickstarter Funding Drive Launches | GamePolitics

You may recall our interview with Matt Conn (Episode 5 of the Super Podcast Action Committee) of GaymerCon, the first-ever gaming event that caters to the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) community set to take place in San Francisco in 2013. Last night organizers of the event officially launched the Kickstarter to raise funds for the event and to explain in more detail what it is all about.

Organizers of the event revealed that it will take place August 3-4, 2013 in San Francisco at a venue to be determined by the level of funding raised from the Kickstarter campaign. So what is the event all about, exactly? To create a gaming convention where everyone can geek out on video games, video game culture, board games, and technology. And when they say everyone they mean everyone - including straight people:

"We want to be clear this isn?t just for gay white dudes either. We want all genders, races, and sexual identities including our straight friends and allies to come together and have a gay, geeky good time. We believe very strongly that creating a space like this is not only important for building a strong community, but also showing new generations of gaymers that there are others like them out there, they are not alone, and there is a welcoming place for them, not just at GaymerCon, but as part of the larger gaming community."

You can learn more about the event below or by visiting the Kickstarter funding page. We also encourage you to check out the pitch from Ellen McLain, the voice of GLaDOS from Portal, to your left. She threatens your life, but she doesn't really mean it (I think). On a related note, organizers of GaymerCon will be hosting a virtual party on August 2 (that's today) at 6PST/9EST at is.gd/GaymerCon to celebrate the launch of the Kickstarter campaign.

So far the Kickstarter has managed to raise $4,152 of its $25,000 goal from 52 backers, with 29 more days to go.

*** PRESS RELEASE ***

GaymerCon, the first ever gaming convention for the LGBT community, is set to take place August 3-4, 2013 in San Francisco, with fundraising efforts for the event beginning with a virtual launch event and Kickstarter. Organizers aim to create an inclusive space for under-represented groups in gaming culture and educate and inform the gaming community of the presence of sexuality in digital lives while promoting acceptance and social change through gaming.

?The goal of GaymerCon is to create a space where geek identified LGBT people can come together and build community? said Benjamin Williams, Director of PR for the Con. ?With the growing amount of queer content in video game titles and the reaction to that content, as well as the larger discussion of gay rights in our culture, GaymerCon is more important and relevant than ever.?

Tonight, GaymerCon will launch their Kickstarter through a Facebook launch Party at 6PM PST/9 PM EST using Shaker, a virtual world social app that recently won TechCrunch Disrupt and raised over $20M. The launch party will feature tech and geek celebrities like Zach Weiner (SMBC Comics), Alex Peake (Primer Labs/Code Hero) and more. Unveiled at the party will be videos from other geek celebrities including Ellen McLain, the voice of GLaDOS from the Portal game series, voicing their support for the project, as well as an official Kickstarter video created by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Theateris.gd/GaymerCon.

GaymerCon has set its fundraising goal at $25,000 to make GaymerCon an event not to be missed on August 3 & 4, 2013 in San Francisco, California. The funds from the Kickstarter are intended to secure a downtown SF venue for the event to be hosted and offer more programming to meet demand. The more money raised, the bigger and more star studded the conference will be.

GaymerCon has garnered the support of an incredible network of highly visible organizations , including dot429, due to their shared goals of supporting the gay community.

?It is no secret that the LGBT community has been in the political and social spotlight in recent years. This is no different in the gaming and geek community.? Commented Matt Conn, Director of GaymerCon ?Historically, there has been very little content with LGBT themes or options in video games and other geek media. We hope to show the world that that this audience not only exist, but is flourishing.?

GaymerCon leadership is a group of tech and gaming professionals based in San Francisco, Seattle, and around the world. GaymerCon was started by a diverse team ranging from comic book artists to professional fundraisers to engineers - all LGBT folks of every creed and color, especially for those of the geeky persuasion.

For more information, please reach out to GaymerCon?s PR Director Benjamin Williams at benjamin@gaymercon.org . You can also find us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/GaymerCon and Twitter as @GaymerCon.

Judge: No mistrial in Drew Peterson murder case

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) ? A judge decided against declaring a mistrial in Drew Peterson's murder case Thursday, criticizing prosecutors for entering inadmissible evidence but concluding the former police officer still can get a fair trial.

Testimony at the murder trial of the former police officer resumed shortly after the in-court legal drama that threatened to end the high-profile trial before it had barely begun.

The ruling by Judge Edward Burmila followed several blunders by prosecutors, who are seeking to prove the 58-year-old Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in a dry bathtub in 2004. He also is a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, but has never been charged in her case.

Burmila made it clear Thursday that he seriously entertained the possibility of effectively cancelling the trial. But the judge, who had wondered aloud Wednesday whether the testimony made Peterson appear menacing in jurors' eyes and undermined his shot at a fair trial, said ending the trial was unnecessary.

"The court believes that the defendant's ability to receive a fair trial is not extinguished at this time," Burmila said.

Shortly after the ruling, testimony continued with prosecutors calling a paramedic to the stand in a bid to prove Peterson staged a scene, making it look like Savio died in a bathroom accident.

Louis Oleszkiewicz said a towel visible in a later investigation photo wasn't there when he was at the home on March 1, 2004. Prosecutors have suggested Peterson placed the towel there after paramedics arrived to ensure it looked like Savio had been taking a bath.

On Wednesday, a furious Burmila admonished prosecutors after a witness began testifying about finding a .38-caliber bullet on his driveway. Thomas Pontarelli, a former neighbor of Savio's, hinted that Peterson may have planted it there to intimidate him.

Early Thursday, Burmila told jurors to disregard Pontarelli's statement about the bullet. And, in a rarity for trials, the judge signaled to jurors that the state had messed up, telling them a prosecutor had asked Pontarelli a question "she knew would elicit an inadmissible response."

Defense attorney Steve Greenberg said Thursday that prosecutors are bent on proving Savio, neighbors and others were afraid of Peterson as backhanded way to try to prove he committed murder.

"So far we have a jury that thinks that everyone is afraid of Mr. Peterson. How is that fair to Mr. Peterson?" Greenberg said in arguing for a mistrial. "What evidence do they have that he did anything wrong. (They have) nothing. So what they want is to make him look like a bad guy."

Judge Burmila appeared to sympathize with that argument while explaining his decision, saying "There is no doubt that the victim's state of mind (that she might have been fearful) is immaterial" and that only facts supporting the murder allegation are relevant.

Prosecutor Chris Koch said before the judge's ruling that Pontarelli had mentioned the bullet of his own accord, not at prosecutors' urging.

"To sit here now and say that was somehow intentionally done ... is absolutely absurd," he said.

Peterson, who was a police officer in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Savio's death. He also has said he wasn't responsible for his fourth wife's disappearance.

The mistrial request was the second in as many days in the case that has been beset by botched investigations and an absence of physical evidence.

Twitter admits mistake in reporter case

LONDON (AP) ? Twitter is acknowledging a mistake in how it handled a tweet by a Los Angeles-based journalist that included the email of the NBC Olympics president.

Alex Macgillivray, general counsel for the social media website, wrote in a blog post Tuesday that the company's team working with NBC for their Olympic partnership "proactively" identified the tweet it said was in violation of its rules and encouraged the network to report it.

"This behavior is not acceptable and undermines the trust our users have in us," Macgillivray wrote. "We should not and cannot be in the business of proactively monitoring and flagging content, no matter who the user is ? whether a business partner, celebrity or friend."

Guy Adams, a correspondent for British newspaper The Independent, was upset with NBC's decision to broadcast the opening ceremony on tape delay when he sent his critical tweet Friday afternoon.

"The man responsible for NBC pretending the Olympics haven't started yet is Gary Zenkel. Tell him what u think!" it read, before going on to provide his corporate email listing.

Adams' account was suspended but he said Tuesday it had been reinstated ? announcing his return on Twitter of course.

"Oh. My Twitter account appears to have been un-suspended. Did I miss much while I was away?" he posted.

Adams went on to include part of an email where Twitter said the network had retracted its original complaint, leading to the resumption of his account.

NBC Sports issued a statement saying it wanted to protect its executive, not get Adams suspended from Twitter.

"We didn't initially understand the repercussions of our complaint, but now that we do, we have rescinded it," the statement read.

Macgillivray also blogged about Twitter's policies when it comes to complaints about private information. According to the post, the site's support team was unaware of how NBC was alerted to the tweet and "acted on the report as they would any other," he wrote.
