It?s not as simple as lies and manipulations it?s more complicated. Many great leaders and community activist, MLK included, lied about their sexual relationships to maintain their ability to continue their work. I wish no one felt like they had to lie about their sexual behavior.

I would like to start a dialog around the complexity of sexual relationships and societies stunted cultural norms. Given that context, I think I might understand how and why the lies and manipulation might have been set into motion.

How can we use this opportunity to learn and evolve our cultural norms around sexuality?
