This past weekend, I attended Dragoncon, along with 75,000 other fans. Overall it was a lovely experience, and I met some of the kindest and fun loving fans around. However, aside from a handful of small events and panels, there was little queer representation there. Only a small fraction of events were geared towards LGBT fans, and I keep pondering why. If you attended Dragoncon and had a similar or entirely different experience, let us know in the comments. I did find some fantastic queer cosplay that I wanted to share with you.
