S3.4 - LGBTQIA Roundtable with Alexandra, In Sente, Paige & Cece | Go / Baduk / Weiqi

This episode is from All Things Go, a podcast about the board game Go, also known as Baduk in Korea and Weiqi in China.

Travis hosts an LGBTQIA+ roundtable with Alexandra, Michaela “In Sente” Gallucci, Paige LeMaster, and Cece. The participants share how they found Go, how gender identity and sexuality shaped their experiences in clubs and online spaces, and what made particular communities feel welcoming or alienating. They discuss practical inclusion, representation, moderation, pronouns, assumptions about players, and ways Go communities can become more welcoming.
