You will be missed, Bobby...
The Golden Gate Guards are looking for new members to join the club. We seek like-minded, diverse, leather-Levi oriented people who are organized and enjoy volunteering their time and talents. Please contact the club President to learn more at roger AT ggguards.org. For information on becoming a member, visit the About Us page or contact the Vice President/Membership Chairman at dick AT ggguards.org.
The Golden Gate Guards are looking for Sponsors for our 9th Annual Leather Cruise on the Saturday before Folsom Street Fair! See how it can benefit both your organization and us by clicking here.
In order to preserve a long-standing tradition, many leather and kink community organizations and individuals will be gathering on the Sunday before Folsom Street Fair (September 22) to celebrate the start of Leather Week, to show our pride and diversity, and to raise the Leather Flag. This year, groups plan to gather at the Folsom Street Foundry at 11 am, step off at noon, and march down Folsom, 8th and Harrison Streets, stopping at some of our favorite SoMa venues, before gathering at the SF Eagle for a major beer bust and the raising of a new 25'x15' Leather Flag, on a magnificent 80-foot flagpole, at the brand-new (not quite completed) Eagle Plaza!
Planning is happening quickly. All varieties of leather, kink, fetish, queer, motorcycle, or LGBTQ organizations are encouraged to make their decision to march asap, and sign up at https://leatherprideparade.org/. Please prepare a sign or banner identifying your group to carry in the parade. If you can offer to provide some volunteers to help, that would be fantastic!
Individual marchers are also very welcome! Sign up to march and/or volunteer! Or just show up! Visitors to San Francisco are particularly invited to join in!
The Golden Gate Guards will be performing color guards during the parade.
The Golden Gate Guards is a leather-Levi, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, open to both men and women, that serves the San Francisco Bay Area. We host safe, sane, and enjoyable events for those with an interest in leather, Levis, motorcycles and uniforms while raising money for other non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations... and we have fun, too!
