Pride, Queerness, and Being a Geek: Thoughts from GeekGirlCon Staffers | GeekGirlCon
[ID: Shannon with members of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Cast!]
Summary: GeekGirlCon staffers share their thoughts on being a geek and being queer. But, we’re only a fraction of the staff, which is only a fraction of our larger community, so we’d love to hear from you. We’re holding this space for queer visibility and celebration, so join us! How do your experiences within the geek and LGBTQIA+ communities intersect? Happy Pride!
#GeekGirlTalk: Subverting Heteronormativity in Romance Novels | GeekGirlCon
In this month’s installment of #GeekGirlTalk, Teal and Hanna muse about the ways Red, White & Royal Blue and The Kiss Quotient, two contemporary romance novels, subvert some of the heteronormative constants of the genre.
Our virtual expo hall is full of wonderful independent artists! Make sure to check it out during GeekGirlCONLINE!
Four weekends. Four themes. We’re looking forward to October! Check our blog for more updates!
Are you ready for GeekGirlCONLINE? All October long we will have panels, a virtual exhibit hall, cosplay, and so much more!

Video Description:
An animated cloud appears on a black screen with the text: “GeekGirlCon #ShareYourWorld” as fast electric music plays.
The screen fades to GGC Attendees and Agents ride up and down the escalators and the camera follows them onto the con floor.
Another cloud appears, with pink and white text “Day 2!”
Animations of books, hearts, swirls, headphones, and stars appear across shots of panelists, views of the convention center windows, people in costume, the let’s play area, and the main stage.
A person in a space dress and fez encourages a young child dressed as Howl to walk on stage. Another child dressed as Poison Ivy curtsies.
Sped up video from the Exhibitor floor.
Video brass band in full cosplay plays in slow motion (the music video stays the same). Text on a pink background reads: “Special Guests!”
A drummer dressed as Adora beats a sideways drum.
Now the band performs outside and text reads “Rock On!”
The video fades to black with pink text across the screen: #ShareYourWorld Thanks For Sharing Your World At GeekGirlCon
Below, on a pink background it says, “See You Next Year!”
A little video from Day 1 of GeekGirlCon 2019!
Video Description/Transcript:
An animated cloud appears as poppy electric music plays. Text appears: “GeekGirlCon #ShareYourWorld”
Shot fades to a zoom in on a screen with the GGC logo. A cloud says “Day 1!”
A person in an apron sits next to a sign that reads “Custom Post-Gender Lingerie Electric Elastic electriceleastic.com”. The person says as video of people going up and down the escalator and across the con floor plays, “GeekGirlCon is…
inclusive and open and welcoming and safe.”
Footage of scientists talking to children in the #DIYScienceZone “And those are really things that I strive for in what I create and the atmosphere that I want to identify with, so this seems like the perfect place.”
A word bubble reads “And so much more!” As animations appear over footage of people at activities and panels.
The video fades to black and text appears on screen, “#ShareYourWorld Come & Share Your World at GeekGirlCon. Visit us Sunday, November 17, 2019”
