Happy Pride Month from everyone here at LAcon V, the 84th World Science Fiction Convention! Worldcon has an interesting and mixed history of LGBTQIA+ representation, though the SFF community and the LGBTQIA+ community had things in common from the start. As Natalie Haddad wrote "within these subcultures, costumes allowed people to be themselves at a time when freedom of expression was policed by both social norms and the law."
