Gaylaxicon is an annual science fiction, fantasy and horror convention that focuses on gay, lesbian, bisexual/pansexual and transgender topics. It is a major conference that travels around the country. This year it will be in the Twin Cities at the Doubletree Hotel Minneapolis - Park Place from Friday October 9th to Sunday October 11th 2009.
Gaylaxicon is a fantastic and — dare we say — fabulous event that gives all of us who appreciate LGBT characters and themes in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comics an opportunity to socialize and share ideas. Gaylaxicon will provide you with a greater depth and breadth of GLBT related topics than other SF conventions. Converse with other fans who examine the genre through queer life experiences.
Gaylaxicon welcomes all fans regardless of sexual and gender identity or planet of origin.
Gaylaxicon 2009 will include: Art Show, Autographs, Cabaret, Charity Auction, Costuming, Dealers Room, Discussion Panels, Gaming, Guests, Local Events, Parties, Readings, Video Program, and more!
The good people from the Twin Cities Bisexual Organizing Project (TC BOP) will have a booth there. Additionally some Bisexual/Fluid/Pansexual panels have been proposed including "The Essential Bisexual" which is an attempt to cover those SF/F/H books from the past that every bisexual/pansexual and ally *should* read, and "New and Upcoming Bi Books" for new releases.
