Community Spotlights

Want to Be Our Next Queer Poker Icon? Here’s How!

The queer poker scene is more than cards—it’s a subversive, DIY culture. We’re spotlighting the hustlers and legends who make it magic. Got a story or know someone who does? Reach out and help us build the ultimate archive of queer poker icons.

Why Queer Poker Needs You

The world of poker is vast, but let’s be real—most mainstream poker culture is painfully straight and stale. Queer poker, though? It’s a whole different game. It’s not just about the cards; it’s about the vibe, the community, and making sure we celebrate the hustlers, outlaws, and underground heroes who keep this culture alive.

We know you’ve got stories. We want to hear about the wild hands, the neon-lit home games, and the players who slay just as hard at the felt as they do on the dance floor. Maybe you’ve got a friend who’s a poker legend in the making. Maybe it’s you. Either way, we’re always on the lookout for our next feature.

What Makes a Queer Poker Icon?

Here at QueerPoker.com, we’re not just spotlighting winners. We’re celebrating rebels, innovators, and community builders. If you’re slinging cards in the back of a club, turning poker nights into full-blown queer raves, or bringing queer representation to the tables in unexpected ways—you are what we’re looking for.

We want to highlight:

  • Backroom poker queens—the ones running games you’ll never find on Google Maps.
  • Hustlers with heart—who know that poker is more about the thrill than the money.
  • DIY legends—who’ve built poker communities from scratch, on their own terms.

Are you thinking, Wait, this sounds like me? Or do you have a friend who’s low-key a queer poker legend? Here’s how you can get involved:

  1. Reach out to us directly – Slide into our inbox at [insert contact info or link].
  2. Give us the tea – Tell us who you are, what you’re about, and why your story needs to be shared.
  3. Attach a vibe check – A couple photos or even a quick video goes a long way.

Help Us Build the Queer Poker Archive

Our goal is simple: build a space where queer poker players from every corner of the world feel seen. By featuring community stories, we’re curating an archive of what makes this scene magical. We want to document the people who break rules, bend norms, and create spaces where straights don’t count.

So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch. Let’s tell your story. Let’s celebrate the misfits and masterminds. And let’s do it on our terms.
