I believe one of the ideas that make APO great is our ability to accept
ANYONE into our brotherhood that believes in our cardinal principles.
When we allow this diversity in we grow much stonger by testing ourselves
against each other. I am a realist in the fact that I know APO has some
brothers that do no like gays or lesbians or bisexuals or crossdressers
or (fill in the blank). However with these brothers in APO it allows the
intolerant people to get to know and work with our varied brothers and
maybe become less intolerant. Most of the problems of the world come
from lack of ignorance, miscommunication and people unwilling to change.
APO goes a long way towards addressing these problems.
So, if there are any brothers of any 'type' (intolerant or varied or
otherwise, ((aren't we all?)) that would like to chat about anything, I
am willing to learn and teach.
