On Being a Leatherman
Being
a Leatherman is more than being a member of a back patch
club. Our club
and the larger leather community embrace some very laudable
traits.
|
Acceptance
of a person’s opinions, strengths and weaknesses
|
|
Acceptance
of dress, sexual appetites
|
|
Willingness
to teach by example and an openness to reveal private
information to help a brother learn and grow.
|
|
Comfort
with one’s self
|
|
Comfort
in one’s own skin and place in the community and the
world
|
|
A
cooperative mind
set with others
|
|
Collegiality
with his brothers in decision-making – not always
insisting on his own opinions.
Embracing the majority opinion and supporting an
endeavor. Publicly
and privately supporting those elected to lead.
|
|
Without
being secretive, not making his personal trials and
tribulations a problem for the whole.
|
These are
hallmarks of and values of the leather community and
lifestyle and of the Long Island Ravens.
From remarks by President
Jim Greene
on the occasion of the
L.I. Ravens MC 11th Anniversary,
March 9, 2003
