About Gaymers iNC. - Gaymers iNC.

our mission

It can be hard to find friends in London, and online gaming is not always the most inclusive environment for LGBT+ players. We aim to provide a better choice, a place where people can be themselves and find like-minded people to play with. Today we stand at more than 3.8k members – but the quest is just beginning.

Gaymers iNC. is a non-profit group and everything we earn is reinvested in consoles, equipment and throwing great events for our members. The admins do not take a penny for themselves. We run these events for the sheer love of gaming – and that’s a promise.

our history

Gaymers iNC. was founded in 2015 by a group of friends who would meet at home in Clapham, London to play videos games together. We quickly realised that games were a great way to bond – and the perfect ice-breaker for newcomers to the group. LDN Gaymers was born!

Word spread and the group grew and grew – so we made it our mission to welcome all of London’s LGBTQ+ gamers into the fold. Today we’re Gaymers iNC. – come and play with us!

Meet the team

Your admin team are a pair of games-playing and lightsaber-toting lads from opposite ends of the UK. Think of us as being akin to the Nazgûl. Except there are two of us. And we are eminently more powerful.

Yusif Ali

Yusif founded Gaymers iNC. in 2015 when the group was just a few mates playing games in a flat in Clapham. He devotes his time to ensuring that Gaymers continues to go from strength to strength and is always on the look out for the best venues in London to host our events, and new ways to reach more wonderful people to expand our community. His organisational and communications flair ensure that our members are well-prepared for big events, such as Pride, and helps foster new relationships with partners who can upgrade the experiences we can give to our Gaymers family. You’ll usually find him on the door, manning Ye Olde Shoppe – our pop-up merch store, or hosting tournaments at our Monthly Meet-Ups. Beyond this, he is always looking out to lift up our community in whatever way he can.

Roony

Roony Aka-Haroun

You’ll see Roony at our events taking photos of all your lovely faces. When he’s not snapping away, he’s also a dab hand at making sure that our regalia is always prominent and on point, and putting together the music mixes for our Monthly Meet-Ups. Beyond that he’ll be hard at work organising flags, tshirts and accessories for Pride and generally thinking of new ways to make his life complicated. New merchandise ideas to show off your Gaymers iNC. love, 3D printing to help organisation and getting out his tools to construct things – such as our Halloween party stage in 2023 – make him smile. He’s always thinking of new ways to help make Gaymers events better with lighting, technology and whatever random concepts occur to him in the shower.

THE MODERATORS

Our moderators work tirelessly to make sure our various events run smoothly. You will usually see them on the door, or hosting tournaments and Just Dance at our Monthly Meet-Ups – which they also help set up every month along with our awesome volunteers.

At our smaller events such as the Ultimate Geek Quiz, Q3: Queer, Quest & Quench, Active events, and others, the mods are always on hand to roll up their sleeves and help make it come together – including writing the whole Quiz every time!
