OUR PURPOSE:

1. TO CREATE MULTISEXUAL AWARENESS

We want to inform KSU, Manhattan, and all surrounding areas
of gay culture in an effort to bring together all sexual
communites.


2. TO BUILD PRIDE AND EMPOWERMENT IN THE GAY COMMUNITY

We cannot effectively combat homophobia and hatred, nor can
we impact extremist religious groups or even mainstream
America, until we gain pride in ourselves and our community.


OUR PHILOSOPHY:

We empower ourselves when we communicate with and educate
each other, and celebrate who we are.  Only when we have
developed a strong sense of pride in self and in community
will we be able to change attitudes.
