Sydney Leather Pride came into being at the start of 1990. Its founding members were six individuals who shared a common fetish, that of leather BDSM. These six individuals came together to form what was originally known as Sydney Leather Pride Week Association.

The aims of this group at that time was a simple one, to educate and demystify the leather/BDSM lifestyle to the general community with education forums and workshops, while at the same time having fun.

And every year around the end of April and sometimes May, the Association creates and organizes events that have now become part of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community of Sydney. In 2010 the party will be held on the June long weekend

In a week long event, you have everything from forums and workshops on BDSM related topics, to art exhibitions and social gatherings. Also there is the two major events that now stand out within the community, that of the Leather Pride Fair Day, and Inquisition Dance Party, which is held at Fox Studios.
