Flame Con Abounds with Found Space for Queer Geeks, Gamers, Cosplayers & Creators

The globe’s premiere queer comic con—curated with swoon-inducing care by the Geeks OUT gang—returns to Times Square this Saturday & Sunday, August 15 & 16.

For one hot weekend, choice locations throughout the Mariott Marquis (1635 Broadway) become welcoming portals to arts, entertainment, education, and skill-sharpening opportunities. Cosplay-encouraged attendees can access thought-provoking panel discussions, artist meet-and-greets, genre and performance-themed workshops and mentorships, exclusive live performances, screenings, and more.

Rest assured, this is one con that definitely knows how to deliver on the promise of “more.” Visit the Flame Con website for the full menu of gongs-on. For tickets ($57.10, weekend pass; 36.70, 1-day pass), click here.
