Emergency Light Bar

Our incredible community

A few events of late have prompted me to reflect anew on how compassionate our community can be. We go about our daily routines with such focus that we're usually oblivious to this fact. Maybe I'm biased, but considering that for decades now the leather community has been at the forefront of most local and national charity work, I'd argue that we're the most giving.

On June 17, leather trailblazer and icon Roger "R.J." Chaffin of Chicago, IL, passed away at 59. In that relatively short time, Chaffin was able to achieve an unbelievable number of accomplishments, including his recent role as the weekend coordinator for International Mr. Leather (IML). His achievements are so vast I don't have a fraction of the room here to do him justice, but a couple of highlights are: In 1989, long before any national attention on the subject, he co-produced the film Crimes of Hate about gay-bashing, and in 1977 he and his then-partner Jose blazed the trail to civil unions in Illinois by agreeing to be profiled in a three-part Chicago Sun-Times feature on same-sex relationships that included photo coverage of their ceremony, unheard of at that time. It's people like Chaffin that we have to thank for many of the benefits we enjoy today, not just in Chicago, but around the world.

We lost another leather icon, George Wong of Los Angeles, on June 6. Wong was one of those people who seem to have been cloned, as he showed up everywhere. He was a member of many leather organizations, including the L.A. Band of Brothers, judged dozens of contests (including IML), was a major player in fisting, gave many leather and fetish seminars, was a producer of the Mr. L.A. Leather contest, and even found time to indulge his passion for volleyball as a U.S. National Volleyball Champion, European Champion silver medalist, and Gay Games gold medalist. Again, too many accomplishments to do justice here, but I will note that his reach was not just L.A. or San Francisco (where he attended every single SF Pride), but across the nation and around the world.

With any loss, there is a certain amount of sadness and grief, but there is also a great joy in what they've left behind and the memories we share that will always keep a part of them alive. The legacies they leave are an inspiration to us all.

The outpouring of love and support regarding these losses, plus the fact that so many took the time to give their love and support during my husband Doug's recent medical emergency, once again have reminded me that our community is just plain incredible.
