LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District

The community came out to celebrate the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District’s fourth birthday at an Audacious Anniversary party, held at Folsom Street Foundry on Saturday evening, May 7, 2022.  

Entertainments included The Rebel Kings, House of MORE!, suspension bondage by Ivy Limieux and Shay Tiziano with Sabriel Star, and kinky demos by ONYX Northwest and the 15 Association.  The event was DJ’d by Fawks, and MC’d by Lance Holman.

Food for the free party was catered by MamaBear’s Kitchen, SOMA Guardians provided the coat check, photography was by Gooch, and over a dozen contestants walked our first annual “Brazen Runway”, competing for prizes and raising money for the Cultural District.

Many folks stopped by the info table to learn about the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District, sign up for the mailing list, or become voting members of the organization.

Below are just a few images to remind you how much kinky fun we all had.

The Redistricting Task Force voted down their final draft map that would have diluted the voices of marginalized communities in San Francisco. We now have another chance to convince this Task Force to adopt fair and just new district lines that reflect the needs of communities of color, LGBTQ+ residents, and working-class families. Please join us this Thursday, April 21, 2022, in giving public comment, in person at City Hall Room 406 or remotely.  (Direct link:  https://ccsf.webex.com/ccsf/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=24909061875)

This weekend, April 23-24, 2022, is a very special one out on 12th Street at Harrison:

On Saturday, April 23, from 4 to 6 pm, join us on Eagle Plaza (398 12th Street, in San Francisco) to celebrate the Leather Pride Flag, in an event co-sponsored by leather titleholders Ghee Phua and Tammy Lg Hatter, along with the Cultural District, the Friends of Eagle Plaza, and the SF Eagle Bar.

This inaugural event aims to bring together the SF Bay Area leather/kink community to celebrate the creation of the leather pride flag and the life of its creator, Tony DeBlase. It is also a fundraiser for the upkeep of the leather pride flag in the Eagle Plaza. Finally it is a send off for the local IML contestants.

There will be 2 speakers who will provide a historical perspective on the creation of the leather pride flag and share stories about Tony DeBlase. This event will be streamed during IMsL/IMsBB.  Find more details here and here.

Then, on Sunday, 4/24, from 12:00 noon to 7:00 pm, it’s the SF Eagle’s 9 Year Anniversary Big Block Party!  It’s back and bigger than ever! With Dj’s Sergio Fedasz, Kelly Naughton, Phil B, Paul Goodyear and Russ Rich, performances by Pollo Del Mar and Suppositori Spelling, and much more.

The beer bust will run from 12:00 noon to 7 pm, with proceeds to Folsom Street; those folks will also have a booth where you can pick up hard-to-find merchandise from past Folsom Street Fairs.
