Date: 2021-05-09

Hardy Haberman is the Chairperson of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation (https://www.woodhullfoundation.org).  The only national organization that focuses entirely on affirming our fundamental human right to sexual freedom and ending sexual violence. 

The yearly Sexual Freedom Summit in Washington DC features human rights activists, sexuality educators and researchers, professionals from the legal and medical fields, authors, sexual freedom movement leaders, and organizational partners. 

In this video, Hardy talks about using magic to overcome his shyness as a child, his work on the Bozo the Clown Show as a starring character, being Jewish at a Baptist college, and how attending the 1979 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights changed his life.


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.
