• See the importance of Digital Fluency in Queer communities—and Queer fluency in tech communities
• Learn what Queer people do with tech and what it can teach designers (about power, [secret] communication, avatars, counterpublics, hacktivism, and online worlds like the metaverse)
• Discuss the correlation between the density of LGBTQ+ people in geographical innovation hubs—and the hidden risks of relocation of tech to less-LGBTQ welcoming geographies
