Kink Between the Lines (KBtL) aims to provide the platform for and intentionally hold spaces that center marginalized perspectives and topic matters that are generally given the backseat, if they’re included at all.

For our purposes, marginalized includes (but is not limited to) conversations around mental health, disability, race, gender, age, sexualities often forgotten (ie: intentional inclusion of the letters outside of “LGB”), socioeconomic status, trauma, religion, recovery status, parenting, HIV and STIs, and more, and how those identities come into play (pun intended) when participating in BDSM, kink, the lifestyle, and its communities.

Participants of KBtL III (including staff, volunteers, presenters, and attendees) come from all over the world. This is a compiled list of, some, of the many stolen lands that we come to this event from. This list is far from complete. We acknowledge the histories of genocide, colonization, and assimilation that took and continue to take place in our current locations. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and future. Kink Between the lines is committed to lifting up and listening to indigenous voices in our communities worldwide.

In the column to the right, you’ll find a list of native lands with a link to resources that we’ve found to share with you.
