Our Story
Our Story
Pride Gamers began in 2020 when a small group of friends started gathering to play board games together. What started as casual game nights quickly revealed a bigger need: a safe, welcoming space where LGBTQ+ people could connect and be themselves through a shared love of gaming.
As word spread, the group grew — meeting regularly at venues across Columbus and steadily expanding its reach. In 2021, the community officially became Pride Gamers of Columbus, and by 2023, we proudly achieved our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.
Today, we continue to grow as an organization dedicated to inclusion, community, and connection for LGBTQ+ gamers across Central Ohio.
