EDUCATING

X.ENOPHOBICS

Ex. is an organization that teaches the community how to understand each other.  No Judgement of  lifestyle or ideology. Ex. Has created an opportunity for The Curious to ask questions, see ordinary people perform extraordinary pieces of humanity.  Ex. Provides an understanding of why someone would want to change their sex, be tortured and or be someone’s slave, they might not be so quick to judge.  Understanding bridges the gap. 

Through the performing arts, our mission is to educate those people who are either afraid, ignorant to, and/or narrow minded about accepting anyone’s principles and life choices that do not fit their own.

Commitment in Relationships

I get a lot of flack about not being in a committed relationship.  Really do I need to be in one?  Last time I checked it wasn't a prerequisite for any class I signed up for.

I don't know anyone who has been completely monogamous and I don't just mean sexually, but intimately also.  Sharing your most intimate thoughts and actions with one person for the rest of your life is preposterous to me!  The idea sounds nice, but how many of us know anyone who is with one person, intimately... that sounds more like INMATELY!

Just my thoughts please feel free to put yours in...
