Episode 14- Season 2 – BB Mr Laird Leatherman

Sexuality, Society & Culture

Listen in as BB, the 2025 Laird Leatherman, joins us for a powerful conversation on identity, leather culture, and living authentically.

We talk about his journey from Sri Lanka to Darwin, and finally to Melbourne, where he found both a home and a community. BB shares how volunteering has shaped his sense of purpose, how he found pride in his leather title, and what it really means to live out loud as your truest self.

This is more than a leather story—it’s a migration story, a queer story, and a human one.
