Fans of OurFlagHBOMax are rallying the crew for an unofficial convention to celebrate the wonderfully diverse series.

The LGBQIA+ community has had a lot of time to deal with the fact that entertainment in general, and Hollywood specifically, goes out of its way to downplay, modify, or just flat-out erase queer participation in most productions. This is especially true in period dramas, which is still a genre that tends to pretend gay people didn’t exist in the past.

In an official statement shared with Collider, the trio of fan organizers Obliquity, Maddie, and Manea explained that they decided to bring the project to life after realizing the power of the Our Flag Means Death fanbase, and how they are eager to celebrate and discuss the series in large groups.

The event is taking shape at Kickstarter, and its distinct "origin story" has prompted the website's Head of Film Elise McCave to put out a statement in support of the Con.
