1st Thursday

San Francisco girls of Leather -San Francisco, CA
We are a group of self-identified Leathergirls. Membership is not limited by race, creed, orientation or gender; however, an identification of Leathergirl is essential. A girl-heart is an individual self-identity. San Francisco girls of Leather is a unique and powerful group of individuals — our solidarity and commonality is found in our understanding that the definition of Leathergirl involves who you are and not just how you play.

Our mission is twofold: To provide camaraderie, and a safe space to any individual who identifies as a Leather girl and to provide community service within and outside of the Bay Area Leather Community at large.

Our monthly business meetings are held the first Thursday of every month at the Chase Bank Community Room in the Castro, SF
