Caption under the flag graphic is incorrect...

The Leather Pride Flag represents the Leather subculture. While many in that community, BUT NOT ALL, also participate in BDSM and various forms fetish play, the Leather Pride Flag is not representational of those practices. While it's origins are VERY well established in the gay male community, individuals identifying in the myriad of other sexual orientations have embraced and been embraced by the Leather community.

Requested move 22 December 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved, but "Pride" will be lowercase. (closed by non-admin page mover) Jerm (talk) 00:22, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Leather Pride flag → Leather flag – In aiming to have a naming convention for all pride flags, as well as in the aim of WP:CONCISE, the "pride" should be removed from the name. See lesbian flag, transgender flag, etc. However, if "pride" is not removed, it should be uncapitalized. ~BappleBusiness^[talk] 23:41, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unlike the other flags removing 'Pride' would be less clear. Though, i do agree it shouldn't be capitalized—blindlynx 18:42, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose "Leather flag" is misleading and unlike the lesbian and transgender examples which describe people without losing much context, "leather" here describes a community/culture. Additionally, most references to the flag include the word "pride", within this article, and elsewhere regarding its creation and subsequent uses. HalJor (talk) 20:38, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above but "pride" should not be capitalized in the title, so Move to Leather pride flag. Rreagan007 (talk) 22:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Undo the move

See the previous section, @DarknessGoth777. This article should not have been moved. HalJor (talk) 01:06, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of the article rename was in the service of vandalistic historical revisionism

For some reason, User:DarknessGoth777 is fanatically determined to rewrite history, and get Wikipedia to pretend that the "old guard leather" community did not exist. I find that distinctly annoying for a number of reasons, such as that the gay male "leathermen" were rather well-organized at a time when many other aspects of gay and lesbian communities in the U.S. were rather disorganized, and when many other sexualities and identities included on Wikipedia LGBTQ symbols templates and articles were then extremely obscure at best...

Remove LGBTQ flags category

I think the LGBTQ flags category be removed due to the fact that the leather fetish scene can be joined by anyone and having the LGBTQ flags category implies that its inherently LGBTQ when anyone can be into leather kinks and fetishes.

Then why did you remove the category in a recent edit, giving the edit summary "No because the article still mentions that it is historically linked with LGBTQIA"? You didn't edit the article to remove any such association, and if they are historically linked, I can understand the concern of whether removing it is "revisionism". HalJor (talk) 15:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't someone else did. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 07:25, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't be under LGBTQ flags because it isn't one. It was made to represent leather kinks and fetishes. Those aren't LGBTQIA. Anybody can have them. The article still mentions it's historical overlap. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 07:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
