LGBTQ Leather at Pride World Wide

This is the summer where the world came out from shelter as they felt safe enough from COVID-19 that they could do so. To be sure, the virus has not thrown up the white flag and it doesn't look like it ever will; and many are still cautious because it "ain't over yet."

Still, millions participated in Pride Parades and Festivals virtually every where. The big cities and global tourist centers such as Berlin, London, New York, Tokyo, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, San Francisco, Toronto , Mexico City, Seattle, Chicago, and Paris were busy.

Cities such as Fresno, Minneapolis, Portland, Austin, Malaga, Antwerp, Long Beach, St. Louis, Oslo, San Diego, Providence, Utrecht, Sioux City and more were out in full force.

We have a gallery of approximately 150 photos at https://theleatherjournal.com/news/lgbtq-leather-at-pride-world-wide for your viewing pleasure and will be adding to it as there are still many celebrations left to be held in 2022 such as Palm Springs, CA, Australia.

Leather manifested itself in so many of these cities. Some in full Leather, gear, puppy hoods. Many were embracing and/or kissing. There was no shortage of bare chested men, most wearing bulldog and traditional harnesses, kilts, titleholders with sashes on, BLUF men.

Explicit Prior Permission for Consent to Kink

By Susan Wright

NCSF worked with the American Law Institute to help create Explicit Prior Permission in the revised Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault. EPP replaces old case law which found “consent is not a defense to assault."

To get Explicit Prior Permission for use of force or restraint with sexual contact, specific acts must be agreed to verbally or in writing (opt-in not opt-out negotiation). Everyone must understand the risks involved and agree to the intensity, like marks or no marks? Even with consent, you can’t seriously injure someone, like causing a scar or nerve damage.

Everyone also must be able to stop what’s happening at any time, even in M/s or consensual non-consent relationships. That means having a safeword, safe signal, or simply agreeing that any protests should be respected (also which specific protests can be ignored during roleplay). Prior consent doesn’t mean current consent under EPP.

Be aware of everyone’s limitations or barriers to their ability to consent to the planned activities, such as age, diminished mental capacity, or use of drugs or alcohol. Don’t re-negotiate to add things after starting because it’s too easy to coerce someone into doing things they normally wouldn’t agree to in their right mind.

Satrys MC Badger Flat 59 held

Off, on, off and on again, the Satyrs Motorcycle Club held their world famous grand daddy of them all Badger Flat 59 run in the mountains northeast of Fresno, CA over Labor Day weekend, September 1-5. The crowd was smaller than in recent years and that is easily attributed to the fact tht the run was cancelled because the Forest Service wold not allow the camp to opn. Then, at nearly the last minute, conditions were improved enough that th Satyrs were given the go ahead.

Those who went were not disappointed. The camaraderie and brotherhood were there, the bonfires raged, drinks flowed, entertainment was fun, bike competitions, eggs-to-order breakfasts and all that is Badger Flat occurred. Photo by Frank Jenkins.

The Satyrs Motorcycle Club of Los Angeles is the oldest running gay men’s motorcycle club and organization in the world. Formed in 1954 during the height of the McCarthy era, seven men came together, bonded by the love of the motorcycle to form a club. It was not an easy time in America for gay men to congregate with fellow gay men. Homosexuals were deemed as deviants and undesirables in society.

By Mistress Cyan

The Los Angeles Leather Contest Season kicked off this past August 20th with The CSW Leather Contest 2023 at Eagle LA and produced by Mistress Cyan, who is a member of the CSW/LA Pride Board of Directors.

The large turnout at the Eagle witnessed a very entertaining contest emceed by Gabriel Green and Genesis, which ended with the sashing of the new Mr. CSW Leather 2023 Chris Velasquez. There were no contestants for the Ms Contest so Lady Remedy was asked to serve another year and accepted the offer by her title brothers.

One of the highlights of the evening was the speech that Chris gave in his Formal Leather segment of the contest. It was passionate and straight from the heart as he shared his experience of coming out and accepting himself for who he was after attending his first LA Pride Festival and finding his way into the Leather Lifestyle area of the festival known as Erotic City. “I was the first runner-up in the 2020 Mr. CSW Leather Contest," said Chris. “I knew this was the title I wanted and with the support of many in the Leather community, I worked hard to get ready for this."

Judges were Head Judge Mr. CSW 2020 Joe Clopton, Mr. CSW Leather 2019 Jacob Lamoent, Mr. CSW Leather 2018 Jose Magana, Ms CSW Leather 2020 Lady Remedy Ann, and Ms Bettie Bondage.

Woodhull Files New Brief Challenging Constitutionality of FOSTA

Woodhull Freedom Foundation, the national advocacy organization for sexual rights, has filed an appellate brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The brief is the latest in Woodhull’s four year legal battle to have 2018’s FOSTA legislation declared unconstitutional. Woodhull is joined by Human Rights Watch, the Internet Archive, Alex Andrews, and Eric Koszyk in mounting the appeal.

“This appeal gives us a chance to directly challenge the constitutionality of the FOSTA in a court that has previously affirmed us,” says Ricci Joy Levy, President of Woodhull Freedom Foundation. “FOSTA is brutal, unconstiutional law that continues to destroy lives in its effort to silence sex workers. This is a long battle, but the stakes are enormous. We look forward to making our case before the DC Circuit.”

The Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump in 2018. The law created an exemption to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act for both criminal and civil complaints involving the promotion or facilitation of prostitution. Free speech and internet rights advocates and sex worker rights groups have all protested the law, which has since resulted in widespread censorship of sex-related speech. Story continues at
