On this day, September 23, 1984: San Francisco hosted the very first Folsom Street Fair. What began as a neighborhood street festival quickly became the world’s largest leather and fetish event, celebrating k1nk, BDSM, and queer s3xual freedom in public space. The fair emerged at the height of the AIDS crisis, when queer s3xuality was heavily stigmatised. Today, Folsom attracts hundreds of thousands from around the world, remaining a landmark of queer culture, s3xual liberation, and defiance. #OnThisDay #FolsomStreetFair #QueerHistory ##LGBTQHistory #SanFrancisco
