| Submission declined on 28 April 2019 by Praxidicae (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

| Submission declined on 10 December 2018 by Robert McClenon (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This draft appears to be about two topics, Cynthia Slater and The Society of Janus. Please focus on one topic. (Perhaps the use of an oversized subhead makes it appear to have two topics.) Declined by Robert McClenon 6 years ago. | |

Cynthia Slater, along with Larry Olsen, founded the second oldest surviving SM organization in the United States - the Society of Janus.[1][2] Her activism for women to be accepted within the gay leather scene in San Francisco during the late 1970's brought her to more mainstream attention.[1][3] Slater persuaded the management of the Catacombs, a gay men's club in San Francisco, to open up to other groups.[3] She was an early proponent of SM safety, and one of the major AIDS activists & educators during that time.[1] Slater hosted Janus Society safety demonstrations during the late 70's, cultivating a space for women within the 'plurality of gay men' already present within the leather/kink/fetish Venn-diagramatic culture.[4] According to first-hand accounts, she coined the term "SM 101", referring to the safety demonstrations and classes she presented.[5]Slater also contributed to "developing and disseminating kink friendly safer sex technologies".[5]It was in 1981 that "Dr. David Lourea and bisexual / leather icon Cynthia Slater presented safer-sex education workshops in bathhouses and BDSM clubs in San Francisco."[6]
Slater was also recognized at the San Francisco South of Market Leather History Alley, where her bootprints are immortalized alongside 27 other important figures in San Francisco alternative culture history.[7][8] According to the Leather Hall of Fame biography of Slater, she said of the Society of Janus, "“There were three basic reasons why we chose Janus. First of all, Janus has two faces, which we interpreted as the duality of SM (one’s dominant and submissive sides). Second, he’s the Roman god of portals, and more importantly, of beginnings and endings. To us, it represents the beginning of one’s acceptance of self, the beginning of freedom from guilt, and the eventual ending of self-loathing and fear over one’s SM desires. And third, Janus is the Roman god of war--the war we fight against stereotypes commonly held against us."[1]
