Update 4/24/26 - Speed dating is currently full, please fill out this form to be added to the waitlist! The after-party has more capacity than speed dating and still has space :)
You are cordially invited to leather speed dating & social hosted by Queer Yenta Radio. This event is for queer & trans people ages 25-99. We welcome seasoned kinky and leather queers, as well as those interested in kink and fetish connections, regardless of experience level. If you're wondering if you belong in this space, the answer is probably yes!
Registration is required for speed dating (no walk-ins), and optional for the social (walk-ins ok). Form responses are end-to-end encrypted, and we value your data privacy.
