Under new leadership
GCAM transforms into the
Heart of Leather Foundation
The Heart of Leather Foundation, having inherited the historical treasures of the Gulf Coast Archive and Museum of GLBT History, is forging forward to create a complete educational program that will tell the story of the history of our leather culture. That program will provide classes and seminars by individuals who have extensively researched the history of our leather culture and displays of leather items of historical significance that will tell stories that need no words. The goal of the Heart of Leather Foundation is to create a safe and welcoming space for all to gather, research and learn what it means to have a Heart of Leather.
