The leather subculture within the gay community has been around since the late 1940s. Since then it has changed and evolved. The leather subculture incorporates BDSM into one’s lifestyle. Leather has different meanings and associations to us. It can be symbolic of strength and power as well as sexiness and danger. Leather/animal skins is a useful and practical material that is used for clothing, and other useful items including floggers and restraints. Some of the qualities that can be associated with a Leatherman are caring, integrity, honesty, growth, and passion.

Here we will explore through discussion:

• •  What is a Leatherman?

• •  What is/was the draw for each of us to this community?

• •  What does leather mean to me? The community?

• •  How do we come together as a community of Leathermen and show up?

It is the hope that this exploration will get us all thinking about what is leather, what the leather community is, and how we fit into it in our own way.  Please come with an open heart and mind.
