About
From the Producers:
For over thirty years, American Brotherhood Weekend (ABW) and its titleholders have served the broader LGBTQ kink and fetish community with dedication and enthusiasm through volunteering, fundraising, judging, and more.
The role of the American Leather Family titleholders are special in that they are expected to serve the community during the title year. Each titleholder is to act as an inspirational communicator capable of effectively raising funds, speaking, or volunteering for worthy causes and organizations relevant to the LGBTQ community.
American Brotherhood Weekend (ABW) title families are the only national leather titles emphasizing and celebrating LGBTQ individuals serving proudly and openly in our community. Many former titleholders have taken a public stance on one or more significant issues, such as same-sex legislation, equal rights, civil rights, domestic violence, harassment, hate crimes, public health & safety, community outreach, or as a voice for others with urgent needs.
