Jay Acey

Jay Acey (he/him) is a life long “Blerd” with 25 years in the aviation and hospitality field.

Born and raised in NYC, Jay studied dance and business communication in college.

His love of sci-fi and fantasy started with the “Wonder Woman” and “SuperFriends” tv shows of the 70’s. It soon branched out into comic books, “Star Trek”, and a potpourri of other fandoms.

Like most gay teens at the time he struggled with depression over his sexuality. Star Trek and comic books were both an escape and beacon of hope for him.

Star Trek especially helped him to see a brighter, more helpful future.

He came out during his freshman year of college and became the Vice President of the LGBT group during his sophomore year.

Gaaayinspaaace is the perfect marriage of his love of sci-fi and pride of being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

His other interests included traveling, politics, tennis, musical theater and cosplay.
