The LA Boys of Leather exists as a forum through which self-identified leatherboys may educate and learn, (about the brotherhood of boys and the leather community at large), provide fellowship and encouragement, socialize, have fun, and support each other and their community.

We define the term 'leatherboy' as broadly as possible with the intent of being inclusive. The term 'leatherboy' is not limited to a particular age, gender, appearance or sexual orientation. Rather it represents a common dedication to service and devotion to the leather community We gather in boyhood and brotherhood to support ourselves and our community with respect and integrity.
