What We're About

The men involved in Manifest Love don't share any one single world view or ideology but we are drawn to this work because of some shared beliefs:

We aspire to create a more affectionate and loving gay world, that better manifests our most humane values in public and private.

We reject a queer culture that says we must compete, that attitude always serves us better than affection, that we need endanger one another, or that we cannot publicly embrace our most loving natures.

We affirm and support a robust sexual culture, as we know it's not all of who we are.

We know change is possible. As gay men helped build our culture, we can rebuild it. We know taking concrete actions can help us do better with and for each other.

We can give ourselves a world that better honors the true values of our hearts. That is the world we want for ourselves, and for each other. We think it is time we gave ourselves the gay lives we truly want.
How do they strike you? Anything strike a chord, Tiger?
