cultural district
Introduction
The Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District is a cultural district in the South of Market (San Francisco) (SOMA) neighborhood of San Francisco that commemorates the history and culture of the leather subculture active in the area for approximately half a century. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors established the district with legislation signed into law by the mayor on May 9, 2018. On June 12 of that year, a ribbon cutting was held outside The Stud bar on 9th Street on 9th Street.
The area is roughly bounded by Howard Street to the northwest, 7th St. to the northeast, I-80 to the east, and US 101 to the south. There is also an enclave between 5th and 6th Streets, Harrison and Bryant.[9] It includes the San Francisco South of Market Leather History Alley, which opened in 2017.[10][11].
The district's goal is to "honor and commemorate the people, places and institutions that gave South of Market its distinctive culture and appeal, and would also help protect remaining businesses and spaces, and support the people who live, work and recreate there."[12].
