MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
After the horrific hate attack on Club Q, RMLA was proud to donate the proceeds from our previous three Rough Play fundraisers to The Colorado Healing Fund in order to support victims’, their families, and the greater impacted community.
We are excited to help announce a new education program, called the Denver Leathermen’s Forum. This new group will meet on the first Thursday of each month, and feature classes, presentations, and panel discussions, targeted at gay men interested in leather, kink, fetish, and BDSM. The first meeting of this group will be a kickoff social, and will occur on Thursday, January 5, 2023, 6:30-8:30pm, in the back room of the Denver Eagle.
With the recent creation of several new groups, including the Mile High Fisters (MHF) group, BLUF meetups, and the new education program, we’re very hopeful for a bright future for leather as we move forward into 2023. Happy holidays!
Daniel Barnes (he/him)
