DAN DEEVY - FOUNDER / PRESIDENT

Dan Deevy (he/him) is a 25+ year veteran producer, host, entertainment journalist & celebrity interviewer.

He founded GAAAYS IN SPAAACE in 2016 and has grown the organization from what was intended to be a single event in Las Vegas to full-fledged nonprofit organization specializing in activism and advocacy for the continued inclusion of ALL underrepresented communities, (initially focusing on the LGBTQIA+ community) characters in entertainment, particularly in the often-prophetic realm of science fiction and actual science as well.

The organization relieves ignorance, promotes a better understanding of LGBTQIA+ individuals and empowers LGBTQIA+ youth by exposing them to visions of the future like the ones found in shows like STAR TREK, THE ORVILLE, & THE EXPANSE, where universal equality has FINALLY become a reality; and most importantly, where they can see themselves reflected in the characters.

Since its founding, ‘GIS’ has hosted 250+ events which have spanned a dozen major US cities, featured over 100 celebrity and special guests, has garnered a huge worldwide following and built a community that has and always will be a safe space for everyone!
