Kevin Lisle (he/him)

Born and raised in Alabama in a conservative, racially charged environment, it was no surprise that at 21, I headed west. Arriving in San Francisco, I felt like Dorothy leaving Kansas.

My first true encounter with the leather community, beyond secret magazines hidden from my family, was walking down Castro Street. At the time, the area was vastly different, dotted with leather bars like Daddy’s and The Castro Station. Outside, tall men in full leather smoked and cruised passersby. Curious, I stepped inside and discovered a new world of leather-clad men, porn on the TVs, and personal exchanges that made me feel I had found my home.

In 2013, I became Imperial Crown Prince to Emperor Drew Cutler, a leather Emperor of the Imperial Court. Supporting him as his leather prince felt like fulfilling my dream of belonging to the leather community. By 2014, I faced growing pressure to run for Emperor. Though hesitant, I announced my candidacy at the Ducal Coronation with a bold proclamation: “I am coming.”

On February 15, 2015, in full leather, I was crowned the Red Dawg Golden Jubilee Emperor of San Francisco. It was a defining moment and one of the greatest experiences of my life.
