It’s not yet clear how EA will support the event, but presumably as it would any other expo or convention – by turning up to promote its games.
EA has a number of positive marks against its name in this realm; it is included on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s best places to work for LGBT equality list, with a 100% rating; it’s big on marriage equality; and it has been vocal in its ongoing support of BioWare’s increasingly inclusive games.
Although EA is the first major publisher to announce its support for the actual event, Xbox Live got behind Gaymercon’s Kickstarter.
Gaymercon takes place in early August 2013 in San Francisco.
