< BACK TO QUILT Vanguard Leather Vanguard Leather is a pansexual sex and weird positive group that integrates education from old guard leather traditions with new leather, other protocol related customs and relationship dynamics. This group brings together those that desire to learn and would like to further personalize and define leather values in a nonjudgmental arena that suits their individual D/s relationships in the 21st century. The construct of Vanguard Leather is one of innovation through education. When a person considers identifying as “leather”, they may have a preconceived notion of what leather means based on the people they have encountered identifying as leather folk. This group seeks to educate about the “old guard” leather traditions but really aims to create a synergy with new relationship dynamics, ethics and moral fiber so that the members can personalize what works for them. They can take this knowledge, experiment and incorporate what works into their dynamic. We encourage mentorship established in your community, as well as being an active member of your community. This enables you to develop skill sets and provides exposure to philosophies and ideals that you may find beneficial to incorporate into your D/s lifestyle. 00228 Home: Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA Status: Active Founded: 2013 Panel History: Added in-person at Beyond Leather XVI on Saturday, May 18, 2024 in West Palm Beach, Florida Links: Fetlife Group Other Details: N/A Have details about this panel that are not listed?

< BACK TO QUILT The Herd Our vision- The Herd strives to create a positive space for free expression of sexuality, guided by values of equality and inclusiveness. We aim to promote leather culture, both locally and abroad, through the guiding principals of honesty, integrity, respect, and loyalty. We believe in service to the community and work with those who educate and raise awareness of issues related to sexuality and sex-positive culture. And, above all else, we are about having fun, creating new experiences, and expanding our tribe. Origins: The Herd was originally started in Winnipeg, Manitoba in summer of 2017 as an open concept for those interested in leather culture. Most of the founding members had been involved in educating and organizing community events for years prior under the banners of Winnipeg Sex Positive Culture, Tortured Youth, MAsT, and others. In fall of 2017, the group elected to move to a closed membership structure and focus its efforts on building Leather culture throughout the Prairies, working alongside a wider network across Western Canada as well as the United States. Notes on the logo: As well as being the provincial animal of Manitoba, the Bison was originally chosen as the outline of the logo as it symbolized the determination and resilience of the Prairies. It seemed also fitting because of the tendency of the animal to operate as a herd, since the group seemed to frequently travel and operate together; what started as a tongue-in-cheek joke about the nature of our group eventually seemed an appropriate and recognizable name and so it was agreed that we would be The Herd. 00140 Home: Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada Status: Active Founded: Summer of 2017 Panel History: Added by The Herd on November 2, 2018 at Wicked in the West in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
