Stand Out – LCR at Rome Pride Croisette Fair

From May 28 to June 5, 2025, every evening from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Leather Club Roma (LCR) will be part of the Pride Croisette, the LGBTQIA+ village leading up to Roma Pride. We’ll be there with our own dedicated space: “Stand-Out” — and the name says it all.

Why “Stand-Out”?

Because visibility is not just pride — it’s power. It’s a choice. It’s resistance. “Stand-Out” is an invitation and a statement.
In a world that often pushes kink and fetish identities to the margins, we choose to be visible. As fetishmen, kinksters, leathermen, and rubber lovers, we are proud, vocal, and unapologetically part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Our space isn’t just a booth — it’s a platform for visibility, a tribute to leather culture, and a reminder that our identities matter.

What you’ll find at the Leather Club Roma stand

The “Stand-Out” space will be vibrant, welcoming, and full of life. Here’s what you’ll be able to do:

• Learn about Leather Club Roma: active since 1999, LCR has been shaping Italy’s fetish and BDSM scene for 25 years.

• Meet our core members: the passionate volunteers and activists who bring the community to life.

• Sign up and become a member: support the Club and become part of our growing family.

• Shop exclusive LCR gear: T-shirts, pins, caps, and more — items that represent who we are and help fund our future events.

• Connect: whether you’re a regular or just curious, you’ll find a space where questions are welcome and conversations matter.

Talks, stories, and real conversations

Throughout the week, Stand-Out will host talks and discussions exploring the intersections of kink, pride, and identity. Topics will include:

• Fetish and activism: how our bodies, desires, and styles are part of a political narrative.

• Kink visibility: from shame to pride — what it means to be seen.

• The leather legacy in Italy: a look at our history through clubs, marches, and revolutions.

• Safe spaces & consent: building healthy, inclusive communities in the kink world.

Speakers will include activists, LCR members, guests from other queer and fetish organizations, and voices from the broader LGBTQIA+ landscape.

A living community. A visible identity. A call to be proud of who we are.

Being part of the Pride Croisette is an honor — and a responsibility.
We are proud to represent that part of the LGBTQIA+ community that speaks the language of desire, leather, real bodies, radical choices, and deep belonging.

But we also show up with openness, humor, and heart.

Leather is not just about what you wear — it’s about who you are.
It’s about brotherhood, care, conversation, and solidarity.

And in Rome — this eternal, complex, beautiful city — we want to say it loud:

There is no Pride without fetish.
There is no community without visibility.

Come find us. Let’s talk, connect, share.
Let’s Stand-Out — together.
