  Origins of "SAFE SANE CONSENSUAL"
The August 1983 report of that GMSMA committee represents the earliest use of the phrase anyone has found, and it seems very likely that i was its author.
GMSMA's Community Involvement Committee chose "safe sane consensual" as the slogan for the contingent and the conference because we felt these words were the best sound bite to distinguish the kind of sexual expression we were marching in support of from the typical association of S/M with harmful, antisocial, predatory behavior.
As an organization, GMSMA never tried to officially define "safe," "sane," or "consensual." From the beginning, we knew that beyond the obvious applications of these terms, there are vast gray areas.

 GMSMA
GMSMA stands for GAY MALE S/M ACTIVISTS [1] (http://www.gmsma.org/).
Until the creation of GMSMA, there simply had never been a gay male s/m group that attempted in a significant way—on both the national and international scale—the purposes of GMSMA.
It was a member of GMSMA who coined the term SSC around 1984.

 Leather Leadership Conference, Inc. --The Origin of Safe Sane Consensual
And the fuse was lit when the Community Involvement Committee (GMSMA’s political arm), chaired by Barry Douglas, decided in late 1986 to use a streamlined form of it as the slogan for the S/M-Leather-Fetish Contingent in the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.
While his formulations are not "official" GMSMA policy, they have been widely disseminated and formed the basis of those in the "S/M vs. Abuse" statements adopted at previous Leather Leadership Conferences.
Two factual corrections about the history: The S/M-Leather Contingent banner for the 1987 March on Washington did *not* include the SSC slogan; this was added for the S/M-Leather-Fetish Contingent in the 1993 March, but the slogan *did* appear in all of the Contingent's publicity in the months leading up to the 1987 march.

Although I was raised Catholic, and even went to a Jesuit high school, I have never been able to understand the ceremony of Holy Communion.

When the president of GMSMA and director of this program, John, asked me whether I wanted to be branded for the demo, I knew he was having trouble finding someone.
