Who
are we and why are we here?
Many have asked this question, and the answer is simple. The
Hayes Valley Leather title represents family, diversity, and growth
within yourself and the community. How do we differe from
other titles? Its simple. We are one of the truest
forms of family you will see in the leather community.
Although many other leather title holders are friends outside
their titles, we are often seen together, as a group, as a family,
whether its having brunch at Stacks, or at an event.
The title itself is sponsored by Marlenas bar in Hayes
Valley, San Francisco. The bar itself is a drag bar,
which also hosts many events for the Imperial Council, Ducal Court,
GSGRA Rodeo, as well as the leather event. You will find
people who are gay, straight, transexual, transgender, male, female, in
drag, in leather, and any other venue you can possibly think of.
This is where diversity comes in.
As for growth, you will find yourself growing in the leather community,
and meet many people who are considered leaders in our community all
around the world. You will find growth in yourself, as you
compete for Mr San Francisco Leather, and possibly IML or ABW.
The only requirement of becoming the next Mr Hayes Valley Leather would
be to produce one fund raiser and to compete for Mr San Francisco
Leather. If winning Mr San Francisco Leather, you would then
represent that title at IML. If you dont win the title, you
will still have the option of either competing at IML or ABW as Mr
Hayes Valley Leather. This would be optional however all
Hayes Valley Leather men have competed at IML for the experience (which
I must say is amazing).
