No more censorship of womyn's chests.

Recently I asked whether the SF Pride leather contingent is still censoring the chests of female participants (SF Bay Times, 8 July 2004).

According to "minimo", editor of the Janus newsletter: "Officially, bare breasts were allowed this year...... It does keep the leather contingent from being on TV."

I congratulate the leather contingent for restoring gender equality; and I retract my previous bitter denunciations.

Thank you for withdrawing your former and erroneous comments, but year after year this is beginning to sound like the old trick question: "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"

The SF Leather Pride Contingent NEVER did ban bare breasts (or bare anything). Simply writing a letter to the Bay Times does NOT make it true. Please see full comments at-

Once again, the SF Leather Pride Contingent is open to anyone who identifies in leather. We are particularly open to those who actually want to contribute to the planning and direction of this project.

We are an ad hoc, somewhat anarchic community contingent. When anyone involved with our group has a concern, we work toward a mutual solution. It is a bit more difficult to deal with complaints from those who don't show up before hand-- but it is REALLY bewildering to get complaints from people who didn't even show up for the Parade.
