@aphyr I'm looking forward to reading this! Back in the '90s, I used to march in SM Pride in London, mostly with the SM Bi crowd, and I still have my Spanner Campaign T shirt "Cruising for a Bruising" with the tagline "Safe, Sane, Consensual". I never really got to know the leather community here in the US (although I've had some fun evenings at The Power Exchange in San Francisco).
