Welcome to the Oz Comic-Con CommUnity Space. A safe and inclusive haven for members and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community at the show.
Our goal is to create an environment where everyone can feel comfortable and accepted, while they celebrate what they love at Oz Comic-Con.
The CommUnity Space is designed to be a place where attendees can come together to socialize, and celebrate their love for all things queer pop culture. We provide a welcoming atmosphere where you can engage in activities, discussions and meetups that centre around queer representation and diversity in pop culture.
Our team is comprised of individuals who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. Oz Comic-Con look forward to providing a safe, inclusive space for all.
You are not alone.
And to prove it, we’ve got CommUnity meet-ups that will help you find your tribe. Do you have strong opinions on blorbo from your shows? Would you like to discuss the relative merits of whump vs angst? Do you love the colour of the sky? We’re sure you’ll be able to find someone who shares your hyperspecific headcanon on the significance of the curtains being blue, but you’ll need to head on down to the CommUnity Space to meet them.
