What is Deaf Leather Fraternity?
.
There is no sense of “all for one and one for all” that leads us to create the new philosophy of leadership and deep bonding of friendship. This defines the true meaning of brotherhood whereas a group of Leather Men who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing unites for a common purpose and maintains fraternal lifetime. We, also, welcome hearing Leather Men. DLF use primary communication mode of sign language.
.
The Deaf Leather Fraternity (DLF) exists to serve the men of the Deaf/hearing Leather and S/M community that are based on principles of Love, Honor and Trust. The successful brotherhood is the cornerstone of DLF where each brother has demonstrated his capacity of being authentic, genuine concern and honest self-evaluation. This is the prerequisite to be full fraternal membership with DLF.
.
There are many benefits of DLF membership whereas we will develop leadership role, positive fraternity experience, be social responsible and steadfast trustworthy in honor with Spirit of Brotherhood. DLF emphasizes three values of brotherhood, leadership and discipline.
