"It seems to me that the greatest sin to which Christians are susceptible in questions of sex is really the sin of intolerance and lack of charity. Whoever makes other people's personal problems more bitter, and by holding these people up to ignominy, is the man. whose conscience should really burn him He is the man who has the most to fear for the safety of his soul... He is guilty of the deadly sin of pride, and I suggest there is none deadlier in the eyes of our Maker."

Whatever our religious beliefs-or lack of them-and whatever our cavils at such phrases as "failures and stumblings"-we who are homosexual should commend Mr. Kennan. Such words from a man until recently very high in public life are of tremendous significance, it seems to me a tremendous step in the right direction.

Sirs:

Baltimore, Md.

ONE is the medium which has long been needed to establish in intelligent manner and with steady, honest determination, a bridge of understanding between ourselves and the more conventional society we seek recognition in.

This reader is impressed with all efforts thus far, and though not in accord with all items published, the possibilities are virtually unlimited.

In the last italicized paragraph of "The Human Hybrid," February issue, D. M. Woods sums up, I believe, the main purpose behind your publication. (A fine article, too!)

ONE's acceptance by the National Officials concerned, proves that America is Democratic by LAW.

Therefore, can we not conclude that ONE's acceptance and ultimate understanding for us as homosexuals, by the Masses, would eventually prove beyond shadow of a doubt that America truly can be wholeheartedly Democratic?

ONE is a good wedge, but each individual must help spread our cause by leading intelligent conversation or discussion in heterosexual groups. It is said that the greatest advertisement method is by 'word of mouth.' Properly interpreted and tactfully used, this means can be our greatest asset for understanding.

Dear Sirs:

Houston, Texas

I want to commend the staff-ONE is a welcome ray of light penetrating the darkness of public ignorance on a vital issue. When will ONE appear on the newsstands? This will help enlighten the public, and should boost sales and subscriptions. I do hope ONE stays with us. It's the only one of its kind and would be sorely missed. In fact, it's the only medium of expression some of us have ever had. Honolulu, T.H.
