🖤🏳️‍🌈 Leather culture is so much more than people think. It shaped queer history, showed up during the AIDS crisis, and gave many of us a path to freedom. I wrote about its legacy and why it still matters today. Read it here:

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the people who show up for us when life gets heavy... the ones who don’t have to, but do anyway.

Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t who we’re born to, but who we find along the way. Wouldn't you agree? 🌙

More on that soon.

We tried to warn you that throwing trans people under the bus would lead to this. But liberals insisted we were out of our minds and that this would never happen. 🙃 Well...once again your leftists friends were right...
