About Us

Salt Lake City Leather Pride and the MR. & MS. LEATHER SL❤️UT Title Contests are a celebration of leather, community, connection, and being exactly who you are—with absolutely no apologies required.

Each year, leather folks, kinksters, friends, and the leather-curious come together from Utah and beyond for a weekend packed with live entertainment, social events, vendors, community, and plenty of reasons to put on something that makes you feel damn good.

At the heart of it all are the MR. & MS. LEATHER SL❤️UT Title Contests, where personality, confidence, leather, and a little attitude take center stage.

Of course, all that fun has a purpose. Salt Lake City Leather Pride raises funds benefiting UAF Legacy Health, Utah’s ONLY LGBTQ+ focused nonprofit health clinic, helping provide accessible, affirming healthcare for our community.

And because we like our fundraising with a little more excitement, the weekend also features live and silent auctions, great prizes, and some serious temptation. This year, that includes the chance to take home a Harley-Davidson motorcycle or a RAD E-Bike. Yes, really.

Whether your closet is already full of leather or you’re still figuring out what you look good in, there’s a place for you here. Pull on your boots, buckle up, strap in—or just come as you are. Meet someone new, find some old friends, make a few questionable decisions, and celebrate the community that brings us together.

Leather. Pride. Community. A little mischief. And a whole lot of SL❤️UT.

Mission Statement

Salt Lake City Leather Pride envisions a community united by volunteerism, dedicated to fundraising initiatives that support the broader LGBTQ+ community, and that strengthens the leather community with a sense of unity. We aim to create a space that respects the history of leather culture and gives back to support valued partners.

The MR. & MS. LEATHER SL❤️UT Title Contests titleholders serve as passionate ambassadors for our community, embodying the values of volunteerism, fundraising, and education in support of the LGBTQ+ community. These roles entail fostering inclusivity, respecting the diverse history of leather culture, and promoting empowerment. The titleholders play a crucial role in uniting the community and representing the values of Salt Lake City Leather Pride.
