On Guard Reviews - LDG Black Leather Voices

With the celebration of Juneteenth coming up, we thought it would be prudent to take another historical look back at these amazing Black Leather Voices in the Bay Area that you won't find in any text book.
Taking us on this lively journey for Leathermen's Discussion Group are:
- Corso Onyx: Board member National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, ONYX NW Sargeant at Arms
- Queen Cougar: Ms San Francisco Leather 1993
- Marc "Pony" Owens: Mr. Alameda County Leather 2010, Officer Golden Gate Guards
- Moderated by Graylin Thornton: Vice President ONYX NW, International Mr. Drummer 1993
HUGE THANK YOU

The conversations about how the expression and openness in the kink scene coalesced to provide an open and safe community for POC and women like Queen to find family- amazing.

It was amazing hearing about all of these amazing people, I remember Omar and that cape. And Andre’s stunning eyes. I miss them too but I’m so happy they were part of my experience and thankful for Graylin, Queen Cougar and Pony part of my life and experience.

Graylin is so articulate and funny; love to hear him talk. Extremely important conversation too

Wow! It's amazing the history that ties blacks and browns with the leather community.I am sure there were other ethnicities that intertwined, but were left out or forgotten.I am glad the spotlight was shined on this subject.We in the GLBT community can not forget those who've made a passage for us to be here.#Salute💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼💪🏻

THANK YOU ALL for this wonderful conversation. I count myself so very fortunate to have actually known and been friends with many of the people that were talked about today, and still friends with the Graylin, Queen Cougar and so many others. Although I am no longer in the Bay Area, I still feel the connection of the community that we were deeply involved with and the love of so many who have either passed on or simply moved away. Special thanks to you dear Queen for the statement about aging. Yup....we were friends in ways that will last until our lives are done and hung out in so many places sharing food, play and friendship. Above all it is those relationships that will endure. Looking forward to more from you all........:)
