I am a man and these are my brothers.

Second only to my commitment to my maker and my family, I commit to these men. They have my emotional, physical and social support. I address these brothers with love - they are my brothers. I share the truth with them out of love. I need them, and they need me. 

What is said within my brothers is spoken under a sacred trust. Within the bounds of the law, confidences shared here remain in a vault. I am man enough to protect the vulnerable expressions of my brothers, I am man enough to listen and support vulnerability, and I am man enough to be vulnerable. 

I am a man and these are my brothers.
