Mr. GayDays® Leather
2026 Alpha Dash
I am tremendously honored and truly proud to have been entrusted with the Mr. GayDays Leather title for the 35th Anniversary year of GayDays.
Set against the most famous cinematic landscape in the world, I plan to use the GayDays platform to expand our united mission to preserve equality for all LGBTQ+ individuals and spaces in the US and abroad with my consistent and fully engaged leadership. As a trial attorney in my civilian life, and armored with my leather family, the fundamental legal rights of those generally maligned members of our communities are of the upmost importance to me.
This year I will be leading campaigns to expand the Red Umbrella Foundation’s and similar organizations’ visibility in the United States providing legal support services for members of the sex-work community. Also, aligned with my Title Wife Miss Gay Days Sassy Devine, I will seek to garner strength and build lasting resilience for our sisters and brothers in the trans, queer, and non-binary spaces who need our support now more than ever. Together, we will empower those with creative vision, unique passions and collaborative perspectives to expand the GayDays brand on a global scale.
All of my title efforts will be lead through strategic partnerships and my in-person attendance at World Pride 2026 Amsterdam, Folsom San Francisco , Mid-Atlantic Leather D.C., and Mister International Leather Chicago, in addition to co-hosting charitable events in the geographic areas of the United States with Miss GayDays, that need our help THE MOST. Look for me online, in-person, and please come up or slide in my DM’s to hi - I welcome all perspectives, and love to stay connected.
GayDays has always paved the road ahead with progress and this year will be no different. I encourage everyone to stay engaged, stay motivated to effect change, and be the superstars that we are all truly are! We are one family!
With love in leather xoxo,
AlphaDash

About the
Mr. GayDays Leather Competition
Mr. GayDays® Leather will be hosting its 9th annual leather competition on Saturday, June 6th. Will you compete for the title?
Do you represent the ideals and beliefs of the GayDays® Family in addition to that of the leather community? Are you passionate about making a welcoming space for both the leather community and drag community? Are you willing to put in the work past winning the title with service and outreach representing the GayDays® brand and ideals? If so, you might be a perfect competitor for this year’s Mr. GayDays® Leather Competition! Our title is unique in the fact that not only is this a brotherhood of leather men but we also have our sisterhood of our Miss GayDays® Queens. We believe that these two communities, while very different at times from each other, are foundational to our greater community and as such, we yearn for our title winners to work together as a team to help promote and represent GayDays® across the nation and even internationally at times!
If you take home the 9th title of Mr. GayDays® Leather, you will have the chance to represent GayDays® at various events and prides in the coming year throughout the nation. In addition, you will get to go to compete for the International Mr. Leather competition in 2027 in Chicago.
If you are ready to be a contestant for our 9th annual competition, please read the 2026 GayDays® Leather Contestant Manual and then complete the GayDays® Leather Application Form and pay the $75 Registration Fee.
