restrictions and attitudes themselves.

2. They can accept and promulgate scientific knowledge and attitudes in general and scientific sex viewpoints in particular. They can encourage and sponsor considerable research in sexual areas which ultimately, by confronting fictionalized beliefs with unadulterated facts, will most effectively dispel non-scientific prejudices.

3. Above all and I am afraid that my many homosexual friends are going to like this recommendation least of all homosexuals can combat the highly unfair and unethical sanctions that heterosexuals now levy against them by ruthlessly attacking their own unscientific attitudes towards their exclusive inversion. They should frankly and firmly admit, privately and publicly, that they who are totally unable to desire and enjoy heterosexual (as well as homosexual) relations are not born that way; have unfortunately learned to become sexually fixated by some combination of circumstances (of which there are many possibilities); are, in view of their sexual fetishism and inflexibility, at least to some degree emotionally disturbed; and definitely, in most instances, can be cured of their exclusive homosexuality (that is, helped to obtain much more heterosexual satisfaction) if they will cooperatively work with a competent psychotherapist.

I am saying, in other words, that the most basic and thoroughgoing cure for anti-homosexualism will be attained when many or most homosexuals accept their exclusive, fixated inversion as a form (sometimes light and often serious) of emotional disturbance or neurosis, and when they stop being defensively, aggressively, and chauvinistically pro-homosexual instead of, as I think all sane humans should be, simply pro-sexual. If this be utopian, make the most of it.

To return to my opening statement. I believe that there are two main methods of combatting anti-homosexualism; first, the palliative but practical, and, second, the curative but utopian method. I hope that homosexuals will firmly resolve to take the first of these methods, and that they will at least give serious consideration to the second.
