DO YOU GAME? The world of gaming is HUGE!!!The Community Spotlight was joined by two incredible queer gaYming advocates, Christopher @christophertheefirst and Arya @aryadragoness_ of @officialnycg who share how they’re building safer, welcoming, and identity-affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ gamers across NYC and beyond. Together, we dive into how community-driven gaming empowers people to show up boldly as themselves, find joy in shared experiences, and celebrate who they are without apology.

✨ Catch The Community Spotlight every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month on BronxNet.TV channel 70
