Date: 2020-03-28

Don Balfour is the president of Gold Coast Pride Queensland and Mr. Queensland Leather 2010.

In this video, Don discusses his first leather experience (which happened to be with a biker cop) his advocacy in the 1990's for HIV treatments to come to Australia, working with local HIV buddy programs to visit those in hospice, and his stint as a radio personality after the September 11 attacks on America.

Inside Leather History: A Fireside Chat is produced by Douglas O’Keeffe and Mistress Joanne C. Gaddy (the “Producers”).The Chats seek to capture the memories, reflections, and experiences of leaders in the leather and/or LGBTQ communities. With a deep and heartfelt regard for the importance of our history, it is the intent of the Producers to collect, preserve, and appropriately share the stories of our forebears and others who have made significant contributions to the leather and/or LGBTQ communities. This is done through a series of recorded interviews.
