Queer Happenings on Capitol Hill

Recently, unexplained rumblings within the very bowels of The National Subcommittee for the Investigation of Coddling and Perpetration of Queer Happenings had many curious, Capitol Hill faces pink with consternation. Everyone knew something big was happening. Or about to happen. Rumors flew.

However, ONE, The Homosexual Magazine, has leaped again into the breach, thanks to the foresight of Ex-Sailor Wilberforce Jingletree, who made national headlines last December while changing his sex.

Here is the true transcript of that hearing!
