Behind the Mask
Our members arrive wearing masks, yet it is only here that they feel free to remove them. It is a delicious paradox. The world demands we wear the mask of conformity, of propriety, of the person we are supposed to be. It is only in the shadows, in the sanctioned space of shared transgression, that the true face can be revealed. Do not be mistaken; the masks we wear tonight are not for hiding. They are for permission. Permission to be, finally and completely, yourself.
