The Leather Pride Flag was created in 28th May 1989, making it over 35 years old, and was designed to represent the leather and B**M subcultures within the LGBTQ+ community.

History and Designer
The flag was designed by Tony DeBlase, an artist and leather community activist, in 1989. It was first publicly displayed at the International Mr. Leather (IML) convention in Chicago in the same year. Since then, it has become widely recognized as a symbol of leather culture, B**M, and kink communities, particularly in LGBTQ+ spaces.

Design and Symbolism

The flag features:
Nine horizontal stripes alternating black and royal blue with a central white stripe

A red heart in the upper left corner
The black and blue stripes represent leather and community, the white stripe symbolizes purity, and the red heart reflects love and passion.

Unlike some other pride flags that represent specific identities, the Leather Pride Flag represents a shared culture and sense of community within leather and kink circles.

DeBlase explained his decision to create the flag:

For the 20th anniversary of Stonewall, I felt that the time was right for the Leather men and women who have been participating in these same parades and events more and more visibly in recent years to have a similar simple, elegant banner that would serve as a symbol of their own identity and interests.

DeBlase described the flag design as follows:

The flag is composed of nine horizontal stripes of equal width. From the top and from the bottom, the stripes alternate black and royal blue. The central stripe is white. In the upper left quadrant of the flag is a large red heart.

DeBlase had no specific symbolism in mind when he designed the flag. He once said, "I will leave it to the viewer to interpret the colors and symbols
