This is Memorial Day Weekend, and I am starting it out with more of a "did you know" rather than a "have you heard", but did you know that about 400 gay leathermen gathered in Chicago in 1979 for the first International Mr. Leather contest. Today, the event has grown to be an annual tradition for thousands in the leather community drawing contestants and attendees from around the globe. Once, this was an event for "hardcore" leathermen, IML has expanded in recent years to include a more diverse crowd from the experienced to the curious.
