To All in our Leather/Kink/Fetish and Sex-Positive communities:
San Diego has a very special community who welcome you with open arms to join us for San Diego Pride and the San Diego Pride Parade!
Please join our 2018 San Diego Leather Titleholders in beautiful San Diego on Saturday, July 14, 2018, and show your PRIDE by walking with the Leather Contingent in the San Diego Pride Parade.
The parade kicks off on Saturday, 11:00 a.m., and ends just in time to visit the Pride Festival grounds and the Leather Realm in beautiful Balboa Park in San Diego. Join us in the staging area for the pre-Pride party from 9:30 a.m. onward--more information coming soon!
We are so looking forward to spending time, spirit and PRIDE with you!

II. The Leather Realm within the Pride Festival
In 20+ years, the San Diego Leather Realm has grown to become a 28,000+ square foot lushly landscaped, age-restricted area of The San Diego Pride Festival.
The Leather Realm opens its’ doors for 16+ hours of education and fun, hosting 10k to 12k attendees during the annual 2 day Festival every July.
Our mission is one of educational outreach. We are a group of cross-community and club volunteers dedicated to providing visibility, awareness and communication of Safe, Sane and Consensual play, Leather, BDSM, Fetish, and Kink Life Styles through hands-on demonstration areas, workshops, community organizations, and alternative lifestyle friendly businesses.
Our goal is to provide support in the eradication of stereotypical misconceptions within and about the lifestyle choices of the Leather /BDSM /Fetish /Kink /Alternative communities at large.
Our pursuit of these goals is a welcoming and reassuring one. Feel free to try something new or stand back and watch. Come in and check us out. You just may find what you’ve been looking for.

VI: From Me to You
My leather Daddy, Daddy Barry, had a motorcycle accident July 2nd riding home from Palm Springs. He is lucky to be alive.
My thanks to the lady who lay with him on the highway, bloodiness and all, and cradled him until the ambulance arrived, reassuring him that he would be okay. My thanks to the emergency staff for getting his wounds tended and his broken left femur set. Melissa for all the assistive aids after he was discharged home. Sereana for something she did. Leather boy Michael for coming and Daddy-sitting so that I could go to yoga last night. And especially my thanks to our leather family: slave frank has in particular been invaluable with his nursing background. dogslave bobby has been doing what he can amidst a very busy work time.
Love to you all.
In uniform,
