The Atons were founded in 1972 as a gay men’s Leather/Levi social fraternity that is dedicated to promoting a positive image of our lifestyle through our various activities. As part of our mission, we work to encourage local, national and international fellowship, and we also work to foster both the unity and diversity of the leather community.
As a club, the Atons of Minneapolis host many different activities. These include monthly meetings, social events, and an annual banquet.
To encourage fellowship we hold events known as “runs.” These started as motorcycle road trips to visit members of clubs in other cities. Ours is a camp-out, to which we invite other clubs and members of the leather community from all across the nation for a weekend of fun and brotherhood. It is usually held on the third weekend of July.
The leather community is composed of unique individuals who have a wide variety of interests and desires. However, we share the common bond of our interest in leathersex and all that comes with it. The Atons reflect both the unity and diversity of the leather community, while seeking to encourage a unity within this diversity. As part of this, we sponsor a variety of fund raising events to bring the community together to express our identity and celebrate our culture. Proceeds from these events benefit both club functions and the larger gay community – including charitable organizations and AIDS services.
To ensure that we achieve our goals, we are always looking for a few good people to join us. If you would like to attend our events, or are interested in membership, please contact our
The KOL is in the process of a formal re-organization. This means that we will be unwinding the current club structure and settling our books. KOL members Kim and Chris wish to pick up the reins and steer the club in a new direction to better meet the values and practices of the current leather community and potential new members. An important part of that is learning what is important to the younger members of our leather community and allowing that to guide the new direction. We have a strong sense that the new Knights of Leather will have a lighter social media presence and will focus more on connecting with people through in-person social and educational events.
