We’ve been a little quiet over here—but don’t get it twisted, the Virginia boys have been busy.

We’ve been out in the community, showing up, serving, and spreading that good leather gospel wherever we go. A few of our members made their way to CLAW, volunteering their time and even building connections with folks like the (because community doesn’t stop at state lines).

Back home, others have been gearing up to support Virginia Leather Contest Weekend and rally behind our very own President, Boy Josh.

Quiet doesn’t mean idle—it means we’ve been doing the work. And we’re just getting started. 🖤 Don’t forget to join us as we host VLC’s Cigar social! Details in the pic 😜

This past weekend the Virginia Boys of Leather split up and showed up. 🎳

Some of the boys and friends of the boys hit the lanes for a small bowling meetup full of laughs, friendly competition, and connection — while the rest gathered at Thirsty’s to celebrate the 4-year anniversary of the RVA Leather Social.

Two locations, one siblinghood. Grateful for the time spent together and proud of the community we continue to build. 💚

This past weekend, the boys traveled to DC for the Mid-Atlantic Leather weekend. We were so excited to collaborate with some of the DC clubs and help out with their events, and to get to know those who’ve been following our club. MAL is a unique gathering where people from around the world come together to celebrate community, meet like-minded people, and be their most authentic self. We are incredibly grateful to have represented our club here for the first time!

Thank you to the Centaur MC for organizing another weekend of kink and community. Congratulations to Gage Ryder for being named Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2026!

At the end of December, our Snack Drive for LGBTQ+ youth wrapped up—and we just made our final drop-off to the center. The Virginia Boys of Leather are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this possible.

Huge thanks to our community bar partners—Thirsty’s Bar & Grill, Godfrey’s RVA, MJ’s Tavern, and 37th & Zen—for opening their spaces and supporting our youth.

Because of you, LGBTQ+ young people will have access to snacks and a reminder that their community has their backs. This is leather community in action. 🏳️‍🌈🖤

Be sure to come see us and all our friends at Geared Up! We’re less than two weeks away!

This weekend, the Virginia Boys of Leather leaned fully into rest, reflection, and reconnecting. Out in nature—with nothing but mountains, a hot tub/sauna combo, and each other—we committed to building bonds and forging the kind of deep relationships that make our leather family what it is.

We’re grateful for good company, good energy, and the chance to slow down together.

And because sharing leather love across the Commonwealth is core to who we are, we didn’t keep all that joy to ourselves. We invited the good citizens of Luray to join us for a beer at Hawksbill Brewing and had a beautiful time connecting with new faces. One new friend even joked that we should go ahead and start planning the first-ever “Luray Leather Weekend.” (Listen… don’t tempt us!)

The Boys are collecting snacks for Side by Side VA all month long! From 12/1 to 12/31, you can drop off snacks at any of the locations listed. 💛🌈

Youth show up to Side by Side often hungry, tired, and looking for a place where they can just be. A simple granola bar, fruit snack, or bag of chips can go a long way in helping them feel cared for and supported.

We’re incredibly grateful to the community giants helping to make this drive possible — Thirsty’s, Godfrey’s, MJ’s, and 37th & Zen. Thank you for standing with us and with our LGBTQ+ youth.

Let’s show up for the next generation the way others showed up for us. 💙✨

Today is World AIDS Day. A day honoring the lives lost and celebrating those who continue to live and thrive despite this illness. What was once considered a death sentence is now a powerful story of survival, progress, and how a community of q***r people refused to give up. This is our legacy.

A legacy filled with leatherfolk who stepped up when the world looked away, offering radical acceptance and love at a time when many refused to see our humanity. Their courage, along with so many others, shaped the foundation we stand on today.

The Virginia Boys of Leather accept the call — the inheritance — of service to others, following the example set by those who came before us.
Today, we remember, we honor, and we commit ourselves to carrying their legacy forward with purpose and integrity. We hope you join us.
