“Ren faire used to be cool but now it’s woke” is like 2 degrees away of saying that about Pride. One thing I’ve genuinely liked about comic conventions and and ren faires is that it always felt like a safe space for the queer community. This is just straight up nonsense.
Me with Dungeons and Dragons. When I first met a aggressively homphobic DnD player, I was generally shocked they existed. My queer, DnD, and kink groups were just short of being represented as a single-circle Venn diagram.
In my longest running DnD group, I was the only straight person. I’m getting ready to start a new group and I think it’s closer to a 50/50 split. My wife and her friend are both bi but I donno about the dm or the other 2(?) players.
I mentioned my longtime DnD group in the other comment. I was the only straight person. But I’ve played DnD with bi, gay, lesbian, trans, and even furries lol. We only turned away one person that was part of a sort of open relationship quasi poly thing a gay couple we are longtime friends with because he started hitting on my wife both in and out of character.

Most of the people I play tabletop with are gay, trans, bi…some or whom I met at a convention. This tracks.
