The Leather Pride Flag represents the Leather subculture. While many in that community, BUT NOT ALL, also participate in BDSM and various forms fetish play, the Leather Pride Flag is not representational of those practices. While it's origins are VERY well established in the gay male community, individuals identifying in the myriad of other sexual orientations have embraced and been embraced by the Leather community.

See the previous section, @DarknessGoth777. This article should not have been moved.HalJor (talk)01:06, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, User:DarknessGoth777 is fanatically determined to rewrite history, and get Wikipedia to pretend that the "old guard leather" community did not exist. I find that distinctly annoying for a number of reasons, such as that the gay male "leathermen" were rather well-organized at a time when many other aspects of gay and lesbian communities in the U.S. were rather disorganized, and when many other sexualities and identities included on Wikipedia LGBTQ symbols templates and articles were then extremely obscure at best...AnonMoos (talk)18:10, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the LGBTQ flags category be removed due to the fact that the leather fetish scene can be joined by anyone and having the LGBTQ flags category implies that its inherently LGBTQ when anyone can be into leather kinks and fetishes.

Then why did you remove the category ina recent edit, giving the edit summary "No because the article still mentions that it is historically linked with LGBTQIA"? You didn't edit the article to remove any such association, and if they are historically linked, I can understand the concern of whether removing it is "revisionism".HalJor (talk)15:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't someone else did.DarknessGoth777 (talk)07:25, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't be under LGBTQ flags because it isn't one. It was made to represent leather kinks and fetishes. Those aren't LGBTQIA. Anybody can have them. The article still mentions it's historical overlap.DarknessGoth777 (talk)07:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
