| Submission declined on 26 January 2024 by Cabrils (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. |  |
Comment: Also seem to have promotional stuff all over the article as evident from the username. zoglophie•talk• 13:09, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Michigan Leather Pride is an annual Leather contest that takes place in Detroit, Michigan in the fall. The weekend event also includes educational BDSM demonstrations and time to socialize.[1]
While the Michigan Leather Pride organization has been in existence since late 2019, after the dissolution of the Great Lakes Leather Alliance regional contest and its associated Michigan feeder, Great Lakes Leather Alliance-Michigan, the inaugural contest weekend in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In November 2021, a one day education and party event was held, without a title contest. Michigan Leather Pride hosted a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the 2021 event.
In October 2022, the organization hosted the first of its title contests for Sir, boy, Ms., and Bootblack, as well as hosting the inaugural contest for Michigan’s first non-binary title, Mx. Michigan Leather Pride.[2] In 2022, Michigan Leather Pride was one of five events in the state to host pop-up Mpox vaccine clinics by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.[3]
