MARCH WITH THE EXILES AT SF PRIDE
Leather belongs at Pride.
Join The Exiles as we march behind our banner in the Leather Contingent at the San Francisco Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28th. Come dressed in your leathers, your Exiles swag, your colors, your patches, your boots, or simply come as yourself and help us celebrate the communities that have always been part of Pride’s history.
The Leather Contingent is one of the longest-running and most visible reminders that leather, kink, BDSM, and queer liberation have always been intertwined. We are proud to stand alongside leather organizations, titleholders, clubs, and community members from across the Bay Area and beyond.
Whether you’re a longtime Exile or attending your very first Pride, we would love to have you walk with us.

Why We March
Pride began as protest. Leather communities have been part of that struggle for decades, fighting for sexual freedom, bodily autonomy, queer visibility, and chosen family. When we march together, we honor those histories while creating space for future generations.
So grab your leather, lace up your boots, and join us.
Yes, we want you there. Yes, we want you marching with us. And yes, leather belongs at Pride.
