Cosplay + LARPing

Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities June 3, 2017 Duration: 51:20

Have you ever seen people dressed up as a character, sword fighting in the park?

Or maybe you were hanging out in the city and saw people dressed up as Sailor Moon for the Harijuku Walk?

Well you may have witness some people taking part in LARPing or Cosplay!

Cosplay and Larping is a big part of life for some queer young people, so we explored what it is and it means to young LGBTQIA+ people.

So get your sword out, put on your Poke’mon outfit and settle in for an fun yet educational Unicorn Youth session!

Thank you so much to our guests, Tom (16), Tayla (22) and Nardia (24).
