Informative show --- wish we had more out men at the Olympics, but praise for the preponderance of out women. 9 to 1, wow.

This gay leather man was attacked and beaten. You never report any of this violence and criminal activity towards gay Leatherman. Why is that? Why do you have such an incredible issue against gay? Kinky Leather folk.

Earlier today, Sunday June 23, I was assaulted by the person whom I bought home from the SF Eagle. At the moment, I am in the emergency room waiting to be seen. Thankfully, my injuries are not life-threatening.

Please avoid any speculation. I still consider the Eagle a safe space. I need some time to process and get some healing before I am ready to discuss the full details.

When I feel better I want to reach out to the leather community to talk about what happened to me, to ensure that the person does not do this to others, and possibly have an honest and open discussion about personal safety when meeting new people.

I appreciate any messages sent here. It may take me some time to reply.

I would very much like to thank My friends Pepper, Hastings Padua and Victor Jiao for their immediate support.

Everyone, please be careful and take good care!
