      Tired of people playing games with you? Well, here's one group that you won't hear that statement from.

      In fact, the Vancouver Gaymers, a social club for queer gamers and their allies, are celebrating their fifth year of playing games with each other.

      Their five-year anniversary party, which will take place at La Fontana Caffé (101–3701 Hastings, Burnaby) on February 28 and costs $10 per person, will include a range of games to choose from, including board games, Wii games, handheld games, and tabletop games. There'll also be a buffet dinner, karaoke, and a special presentation by the hosts.

      The club is an inclusive safe space that is open to anyone regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. So yes, straight people (they're not just an urban myth, believe it or not) are welcome too.

      Like Vancouver's numerous queer sports groups and various organizations, this club offers a social space for LGBT people to meet each other outside the nightclub and bar scene and connect with others who share common interests.

      However, there's no word yet whether or not they'll include the following song in their karaoke portion of the event.
