The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District:
We exist to ensure there is a lively and vibrant home for our community of events, businesses, bars and organizations in SOMA.
Our communities need and deserve safe spaces to gather, shop and play, now more than ever, we intend to keep that alive in San Francisco!
What we do:
Keeping SOMA Kinky and Queer by lobbying city hall to allow bathhouses, installing public art like murals, leather pride flags on light poles, activating community artists and performers, continuing economic development through our Entrepreneur Program, and producing events and walking tours.
