Over the years, there have been many attempts by people to compile
for our "alphabet communities".
Our approach to a timeline project will be quite
different.
We are asking YOU to be our "Research Assistants"
so that our timeline
will include information about as many different
lifestyles/communities as possible.
We decided to start with the
"Leather History
Timeline" compiled by Tony DeBlase
We are asking that everyone check our
timeline and then send us email
so that we may make additions, corrections,
deletions.
Information we would like to see added are major dates in
"our history" such as when a
specific club, organization was formed or
closed; when (and by whom) a specific phrase, flag
or icon was presented;
and anything else that you might consider to be "a historical event".
If you have any information that you would like to see
added to this project,
we would ask that you send us an email to
TimeLine@BDSM-History.org.
Please
include the sources of your information
(hopefully first-hand experiences,
if possible) so that we may verify them.
