STREET FESTIVAL XXI CELEBRATING S.L.U.T.S.

Throughout history we queers have been known to celebrate and reclaim the words that the outside world has thrown at us.  This year we are excited to celebrate what we believe S.L.U.T.S to stand for and encourage discussion and discourse to challenge the idea that sex positive is a negative or harmful thing.  Sex, Love, Unity, Trust and Safety are all components of who we are, especially to the Leather, Kink and Fetish communities,  and we want to celebrate that. Call it out! Join us on the 27th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues on June 17, 2018 from 11-6pm.
