Did you know that you may be arrested for BDSM even if it’s consensual?
Did you know that you may be arrested if you pay to attend a play party — even if it’s just vanilla sex?

The laws are different around the country and may or may not be enforced, but arrests like these do happen!

Consent Counts is a new, national organization of kinky, grassroots activists.

We need your feedback so that we can start a campaign to decriminalize consensual leather/kink/fetish/BDSM activity.

You’re invited to a special Consent Counts meeting this Friday Dec. 14.

WHO: For this meeting, we’re looking for feedback from gay leather men who are members of leather/rubber clubs such as Onyx, Windy City Bondage Club, Chicago Hellfire Club, Chicago Rubbermen, Windy City Boys Troop, etc. Any gay leather men who are not affiliated with a club are also welcome.

WHAT: Topics for discussion are: current legal status, community perception, and consent. See the attached agenda for more details.

DATE: Friday December 14, 2007

TIME: 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

WHERE: Leather Archives & Museum, 6418 N. Greenview Ave., Chicago, IL 60626

CAN’T ATTEND? You can still provide feedback. Just send an email to ConsentCounts@gmail.com . We will email you a questionnaire.
