Take Pride

Happy Pride to all of the LGBTQIA+ members of our communities in gaming, the podverse and all of the other amazing places where voices contribute to the world’s human choir. The work is nowhere near to being done but maintaining the fight is no mean feat. Fighting for LGBTQIA+ voices from the personal scale to the world scale happens every day. For that, there is much to be proud of.

May everyone be able to enjoy a dignity of self. May we remain conscious of each other’s dignity. May we come together for a more tolerant, empathetic world this month and every day to follow. 

My Commitment to You. 

I love you as you are. 

So far, there have not been any incidents of discrimination reported to me from TTRPG Pickup Con. In the event that an incident occurs in any of our events, I promise to every single participant that if you report it to me; I will protect you and ensure that the behavior is not repeated. Discriminatory behavior will not be tolerated and is grounds for removal and banning.

I come to this from a position of special privilege as a cis/het/white man and I recognize that this means I have blind spots. So, this is my promise to the community. I will fight for you and I welcome being called out whenever I miss the mark. This event and the other projects I produce are here for your voices, viewpoints and experiences. 

The least I can do is use the safety I have to serve as a support in whatever way I can. The onus is on me to make that clear and to do all I can to make these spaces inviting. I work every month to continue developing practices, agreements and community culture to reinforce that safety and transparency.
