Our Mission
BlackBoots Twin Ports is an organization based in Superior, WI, encompassing the Twin Ports region throughout northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. Established in 2021, we began as a leather men’s social club and have since grown into a broader LGBTQ+ community safe space.
Our primary goal is to provide members of our community with a space where they can feel comfortable exploring their identities.
Members are encouraged to wear gear that expresses who they are and reflects their personalities within our safe spaces. While matching event themes is encouraged, it is never required. Wear what makes you feel like you!
We aim to provide education and resources to support the unique needs of all members in our community.
Resources are available for both local and national assistance. We offer education focused on sexual health, kink exploration, and safe practices. The unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community are often underserved, and we strive to help fill that gap.
We maintain our roots in the leather community through our BlackBoots Titleholder events. We endorse and encourage diversity in our Titleholder competitions for Mr., Mrs., Mx., and BlackBoots Pet. Join us for our annual competition event, held the first weekend of October.
