Walter Winchell is quoted as saying: "Headline ... '425 Homosexuals Fired From State Department Since 1947'. There were at least twenty of them (from State) at the Gridiron Dinner (in their white-tie-and-tails finery) swishing all over the place. . Of course, only a pervert would wear such finery at a formal gathering; the real men were in jeans and stubble. And what's this Gridiron business? Are queers invading football now?

This Winchell person joins hands with Bernarr McF. in upholding the faith as they share the same magazine (Physical Culture July-August 1953) with a news item from Paris that screams the awful news: "Men working in labs manufacturing female sex hormones are developing secondary feminine characteristics!" In spite of the fact that injections of male hormones have had no effect on changing homosexuals, some professor from the University of Nottingham comments in the item, "In handling these products,

THE LUCRATIVE LIES

numbers of young men in full manhood have seen their breasts develop at the same time they completly lose interest in women while turning all their attention toward other men... .. This is where one arrives by trying to improve on nature." Were all this the case, there would be no sex deviates and no problem concerning them. The government could simply inject its "perverts" with the proper hormone and they'd romp off as whatever sex Congress wished them to be. Conversely, this serious foolishness relieves homosexuals of all responsibility for being what they are. They can shrug and say, "It's not my fault! Nature just didn't give me the right hormones!" Under this theory they cannot be legally prosecuted any more than a cripple is culpable for not being able to run. The whole thing is silly and disturbing. You'll remember it was this same mag that printed a plea to all juries insisting they acquit all "normal" persons accused of killing "perverts".
