102 Photos of Leather, Sex, and Fantasy on the Streets of New York

* Folsom Street East, Inc. celebrates and inspires participation and pride in fetish, kink, and LGBTQ communities through the creation of safe spaces for public expression of our sexual identities. Folsom Street East promotes and provides grants to other nonprofit organizations serving these communities.

* The Folsom Street East Festival has been recognized by the Anti-Violence Project and was granted a Community hero Award in 2016 (gotta love NYC!)

* They envision a world where sexual self-discovery and fulfillment is supported by an environment that is safe, sane, and affirming. Where access to a diversity of fetish/kink community spaces is expanded and fear of stigma and negative repercussions are diminished. And where all people are empowered to challenge sexual norms and embrace and add to a broad spectrum of sexual identities and expressions.

* Folsom Street East is an all volunteer non-profit. Support from individuals like you is essential to the work that they do. Connect with Folsom Street East today to learn more!
