For over 50 years, Star Trek fans have wondered if the LGBTQ community was a part of the all-inclusive, utopian vision of the future that Gene Roddenberry created for mankind. In 2016, Star Trek Beyond finally settled the debate when they gave audiences their first glimpse of a gay man who was alive and well in the future; followed by an actual gay couple on Star Trek: Discovery. ‘Gaaays In Spaaace' was created to celebrate this historic step forward and has been joined by numerous members of the Star Trek family at events across the country! GIS founder Dan Deevy and several surprise celebrity guests will discuss the journey so far, share opinions and experiences, discuss why it's taken so long to get here and why it's more important than ever for LGBTQ character inclusion in sci-fi to continue! Plus, everyone will receive a free GIS tote bag.
