all viewpoints the above approach comes first, offers the most satisfaction and is the most realistic.

The homosexual has always been isolated, has never joined with those of like or sympathetic viewpoint so as to

create a social articulate mass, a social force to which the individual components could feel they belong and the happiness deriving therefrom. Herein lies the weakness and failure of this minority and the problem. J. B. S.

Hm?

We two hold useful, responsible jobs and like what we are doing. We try to do it well. We rent an apartment, have lived in the same place for 5 years, pay our own utility bills, and support a telephone. We buy clothes and food just like anyone. We bought a television set on the installment plan and furthered our education with a loan. We stretch the budget to pay the bills and bank a little, but who does not? Like most people, we have never been arrested, fined or sued.

We take advantage of our right to vote. We are interested in the people who run our city, state and federal government.

For entertainment we watch television if the mood invites us. See movies and plays. Read a varied and voluminous amount of literature from our own and other libraries. We have creative hobbies, play records, listen to radio music and the news, write letters. What little drinking we do is done at home. We rarely visit public bars. We feel it's more fun to entertain in our home.

We have the usual quota of pets, enjoy the out-of-doors and all creatures of

nature.

We are neighborly, we like people of all races and creeds if they are congenial persons.

We don't always insist on seeing eye-to-eye but when we have our little disagreements, we settle them peacefully and compromise. We are happy that we are partners.

Now there are two questions we'd like to ask:

1. Are you SURE we're two men, two women, or a man and a woman? 2. Does it really matter?
