This is the gamergate wiki's timeline. It will explain everything up to the present and is constantly updated. Some people here have given you various synopses. This timeline is comprehensive and sourced.

The secondary controversy is that the "movement" is misogynist because some of the people involved are women. Most of them are men. In fact, what's hilarious is that it's a criticism of gaming journalism and the most criticized gaming journos are boys clubs, where there aren't even any women to criticize. The most sexist aspect of the whole thing is that there are almost no women who are even relevant enough in the gaming journalism world to warrant serious investigation.
