What is leather pride flagge?

The leather pride flag is a symbol used by the leather subculture, which encompasses individuals who are part of the BDSM and fetish communities. The flag was designed in 1989 by Tony DeBlase, a prominent figure in the leather community.

The flag consists of nine horizontal stripes of equal width, alternating black and blue colors. In the upper left corner, there is a large white stripe with a smaller black stripe inside it. The white and black stripes represent the colors of leather and BDSM culture, while the blue stripes symbolize masculinity, strength, and diversity within the community.

The leather pride flag is often displayed at leather events, parties, and gay pride parades as a way to show solidarity and pride within the leather community. It has become an important symbol for individuals who identify with the leather lifestyle and its associated values of respect, honor, and integrity.
