We hope you had a chance to join our Bar Crawl last week (2/6/2020), during which we visited five landmark venues within the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District with District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney and other city officials.

The stops along the way included the Powerhouse, the SF Eagle, the Lone Star Saloon, the Hole in the Wall, and the Stud.

Check out this write up on the event in the Bay Area Reporter. Be sure to get on our mailing list, or follow our Facebook page, to hear about other fun and events, as well as ways the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District is working to preserve key institutions of leather culture in our unique neighborhood, and to help shape the ever-changing nature of the area to keep it fun, vibrant, safe, affordable, and kinky!

What has the the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District been doing since the Community Meeting last August? Who is on the Board of Directors? Who is the new District Manager? How is the District doing financially? What’s a CHHESS? How close are we to building a Leather Cultural Center? What are the new Committees? How can folks become full Voting Members?
