Oberons was a Milwaukee-based gay Levi/leather club founded in 1987. Its stated purpose was to promote “brotherhood/sisterhood” among its members, other similar clubs, and people interested in the Levi/leather lifestyle.
In addition to providing social opportunities for its members, Oberons supported the broader Milwaukee community through its fundraising efforts. Each year, the club donated a portion of the money it raised to local charitable organizations, including groups involved in AIDS education and support.
Oberons disbanded between 2004 and 2006.
We welcome any additional information about this organization.
