Excerpt from a conversation I had with another MAP Just know that having an orientation doesn’t make you a monster. It doesn’t mean you are destined to act unethically.

I am seeking a volunteer to help procure content for The Mirror Project. You would be tasked with: Finding notable MAP-related content on the internet If necessary, obtaining required permissions from the

On May 24, 2022, nineteen children, and two adults were brutally murdered by a heavily armed gunman at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. Local law enforcement arrived within three minutes of the gunman entering the school.
