The #GaymingAwards entered their second round in 2022 and went live for the first time. As in 2021, awards were given to video games, board games, comic books, and eSports athletes* who excelled in diversity and inclusivity. New this year was the category “#LGBTQ Streamer #RisingStar”, which is about streamers who are still relatively unknown, but have already made a special contribution to the LGBTQIA* community in gaming.
