Leather & Grace (L&G) is an organization of Unitarian Universalists who identify with or support the BDSM/kink community. Founded in 2011,[1] L&G is a member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom,[2] and engages in educational and advocacy work for "kink-oriented" UUs within the denomination.[3][4][5] The organization's efforts are coordinated by an elected steering committee, which appoints and oversees specialized committees (educational outreach, crisis response, etc.) and local affiliates. The current Moderator is Desmond Ravenstone, a lay leader at the Arlington Street Church in Boston, Massachusetts.

Their logo combines a red flaming chalice with the stripes of the Leather Pride flag.[6]
