This has made my week! This guy is a long time leather activist and organiser and now he is standing for office. Full of win and awesome, this is. http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/joe-laiacon... As part of his fund-raising efforts, Laiacona is reaching out to fellow sadomasochists. He hasn't said what he would do specifically for the community if elected, though he has referred to "antiquated laws" that, if enforced, could be used against it. But he says he raised $1,800 at one leather party, and he pitched members of the Next Generation Chicago, a pansexual BDSM group for the 18-34 set, at one of their meetings at the Leather Archives & Museum in Rogers Park. He's also used his column to enlist supporters by drawing parallels between being a reformer and a practitioner of sadomasochism. |

He is a dude! Makes a change, from what I hear most politicians are naughty subs  Whatever they are - it is nice to see someone proud of who they are!

It's great that there's someone brave enough to stand up AND run for office, we need more like him. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - Confucius |
