We are pleased and excited to announce that for the first time, the Leather Pride Flag will be flown high and beautiful, over Hillcrest at the corner of Normal and University during San Diego Leather Pride weekend, August 23rd-August 25th.

I should also add that the businesses in and around Hillcrest have been huge partners and supporters of the work that we have done this year and the Business Association granted enthusiastic support to fly our flag and participate with us during the ceremonies.
On that note, we would like to raise and lower the Leather Pride flag with a full leather dress color guard. With all due respect and love, we are asking if the following individuals, who serve as inspiration to many, would honor us and the community by serving as color guard to raise and/or lower the flag:

Sir Michael Russell
Sir Brian Lord

In addition to the color guard, the following individuals are requested to participate in a color guard honorary receiving line:
Scottie Tidwell
Aaron Duke
Wish Linda
Robb Rodd
Caryl
Anthony Rollar
Brian Teague

Follow-up from Aaron:
Thank you, each and everyone of you who made a donation to help us pay for the Leather Pride flag. This is truly amazing that our brothers and sisters from around the world (I am for real. There are donations from across the pond), came together in 24 hours to raise the all the funds needed to have the flag fabricated.
Please stay tuned for further information about the flag raising ceremony. We would love ALL of you to attend and share in this historic event with all of us.
