Pride is here and by tradition, a Mr Leather Norway will be chosen. This year, there were not enough candidates to hold a competition, so the board decided to award the title to a well-qualified candidate.

Mr Leather Norway 2022 is Georg Luschgy. He has been visible in the community for many years and has supported the club both as an active member and as a volunteer. Georg has also been involved in queer rights at his workplace, which has given good results. A sincere leather man with a big heart and solid commitment. The board has considered Georg to be a good representative of the club and the community. We have concluded that he will honour the club’s purpose and fulfil the expectations we have for a Mr Leather Norway. The board will therefore award him the title Mr Leather Norway 2022.

The actual presentation will take place at Haraball on June 24 after Ambjörn has given his step-down speech as Mr Leather Norway 2021.

Here you can see Georg’s presentation of the candidacy for Mr Leather Norway 2022.

A successful Pride 2021

Covid also had its effect this year on Oslo Pride but that didn’t stop SLM Oslo from having a stand in Pride Park and arranging a 3 day street party outside our club. Additionally there was a second hand gear market and café and a new Mr. Leather Norway took office, Ambjörn.

A satisfied President:

An exhausted but cheerful President took time to talk to this writer.

• The pandemic did not make it easy for us to plan far ahead but we realized that it wouldn’t be a regular Pride this year, says Marius, President of SLM Oslo. 

SLM Oslo joined together with SMiL (Norwegian organization for fetishists and sadomasochists) to have a stand in the Pride Park at Spikersuppa. SLM also had their own street parties.

Oslo Pride 2021 is coming and we’re gonna have fun out on the street!

Visit us every day from 01PM from the 25th to the 27th of June.

No table reservations, first come first serve.

Free entry, no dress code and people of every gender and orientation are welcome to celebrate with us.

We’ll have tasty food from Dubliner and refreshing drinks from us.

This autumn, the board applied for support from several sources to ensure that we could get through these tough times and we’re very happy that our application to the Lotteritilsynet was approved.

Together with the membership fees that will be gathered later this year it means that we’ll be fine for now.

We still cannot have parties in our premises since we can’t be socially distant inside but we will have a different type of activity in November, namely an art exhibition.

Also, while the premises are closed we’re proceeding with necessary maintenance.

Watch the horror short that was filmed recently in our basement by students from Kristiania University College in Oslo

Even though we can’t have our usual parties due to the pandemic, it is fun to be able to help with these kinds of atypical, covid friendly initiatives in our club. The film looks really well done, nice job guys!

Winner! The winner of the leather jacket raffle has received his jacket and we hope he wears it with pride!

When Per Helge won the title of Mr. Leather Norway in 2019 he also won a leather jacket from DuoShop but he decided to donate it to a new member of SLM Oslo, decided by a random draw.

Congratulations Bjørn and thank you Per Helge and DuoShop!

Our club zine “Lenka” is now on display in the lobby of the National Art Academy of Oslo until the 15th of September.
