Leather & Grace

Leather & Grace (L&G) was an organization of Unitarian Universalists who identified with the BDSM/kink community. Founded in 2011 by Desmond Ravenstone,[1][2] L&G was a member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom,[3] and engaged in educational and advocacy work for "kink-oriented" UUs within the denomination.[4][5][6] The organization's efforts were coordinated by an elected steering committee, which appointed and oversaw specialized committees (educational outreach, crisis response, etc.) and local affiliates.
