Deconstructed Pride Framed Photograph by Everett Allen Photography

Forty-nine members of our queer leather community come together in this living tapestry, draped in the red, black, and blue of our deconstructed Leather Pride Flag. These fabric panels once formed the giant flag carried through the Twin Cities Pride Parade from 2008 to 2024—an emblem of solidarity, resistance, and visibility.

Now reimagined as individual wrappings, these same pieces become personal banners—worn, posed with, and inhabited. This collage honors both the shared legacy and the singular power of each body. Together, they form a portrait not of uniformity, but of joyful contradiction, fierce presence, and chosen family.

Pride, here, is not just a march. It’s a mosaic.
