Solo Leather w/ EtoileDC

The Leather community has a long and storied history that centers around community venues, organizations, and events. For those who identify as Leather but struggle to fit in, it can feel isolating to attend an event without a built-in social group, and seeing others wearing club backpatches when you don’t have your own can make you feel ostracized. While it’s entirely possible to live a Leather lifestyle without being part of the community, it often causes unwanted feelings and may even be stressful. In this guided discussion, we’ll talk about what Leather means to us as individuals, and how we can find ways to stand up as proud Leatherfolk alone or in groups.

The class will be held on Zoom. The waiting room opens 15 minutes early at 6:45PM PDT. Instruction begins at 7PM PDT.
