I've noticed this as well. Fanime is such a welcoming, all-inclusive event that the absence of a LGBT Speed Dating event is very surprising. Can we make this an option? I'm sure that there would be just as many applicants as there are for the current Speed Dating event. If it isn't being considered at the moment why is that? Is there a need for more volunteers? More people demanding such an event? What would it take to make this happen at Fanime?
