The leather pride flag is a symbol used by the leather subculture since the 1990s. It was designed by Tony DeBlase,[1][2] and was quickly embraced by the gay leather community. It has since become associated with the leather community in general and also with other kink and fetish subcultures such as the BDSM community.
