An evening with the writer, advocate, media gadfly, and founder of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom.

NCSF is the only group fighting for the rights of the BDSM-leather-fetish communities. NCSF helps people who are discriminated against because of their sexuality — when they’re fired from their jobs or arrested for sexual assault for having kinky sex. NCSF also helps groups and businesses when they’re being persecuted by the media or local authorities. NCSF fought successfully to help convince the American Psychiatric Association that kink is not a mental illness, and NCSF is filing Amicus Briefs in military and civilian appeals court to hold prosecutors to the promise in Lawrence v. Texas that moral judgments can’t be a basis for criminalizing consensual sex. Come find out more about what NCSF does for the leather community!

SUSAN WRIGHT founded the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom in 1997, a national advocacy organization for the BDSM, swing and polyamory communities, and currently serves as spokesperson for the organization. She chaired the successful DSM-5 Revision Project, and coordinated the SM Policy Reform Project for the National Organization for Women (NOW) which resulted in rescinding their anti-BDSM policy at their national conference in 1999. Susan has published over 30 books including kinky romance novels as well as urban fantasy, SF-Fantasy and Star Trek novels. www.susanwright.info
