Dear Friends:

I feel quite strongly concerning homosexuality, its members, their dealings with each other and with society as a whole. Life is tedious at times, and experiences cause all sorts of psychological reactions, but I must confess that once the memory of a bad experience is eradicated life is beautiful and worthwhile living.

I firmly believe that all men can live together in harmony, and this goat depends upon the individual and his concept of himself, his environment and his relationship to his fellow man.

My life has been rich (not financial) and full of many pleasant experiences mainly because I learned at an early age correct behavior. I strive not to change my life and way of living, but to mold myself into an asset of happiness, peace and love.

Dear Sir:

Mr. M.

In reading "Rodger" believe it or not I could see myself as Ted. This was a wonderfully written story of, as I see it, everyday life throughout the world. Friends of mine enjoyed the story as much as 1, which prompted this note to say, "carry on with your wonderful work and stories for all of US."

As I have said before, the answer to the riddle of homosexuality is in parapsychology and occultism. Love must be expressed in all its several levels. We are on one of those levels. There will be a time when all is perfected and harmonized. I do believe though that we are emerging from the darkness now. Mr. O.

Dear Sir:

An opinion expressed by Mr. A. C. of Galveston, Texas did, and I quote, ''make me so damn mad that I would like to answer him. Women for the most part who are lesbians try to be as inconspicuous as possible, not because we are ashamed but merely because it is easier to get along in this world when considered "normal." When a man is pointed out as being gay he receives one glance, a woman receives a second, and a third. Is it any wonder then that we prefer to keep quiet? Be that as it may, I'm sure that our women will come forward and present to the public their ideas, dreams and problems.

Another opinion expressed by Mr. L. of Baltimore, Md., gave me real food for thought. Agreed, homosexual love can and often is beautiful, and our society does provide the world with a great number of its better artists, authors, musicians. But I think it's a darn crime for any active homosexual to seek out and force attentions on any innocent youngster. If a person is destined to become homosexual they will on their own without any help from us oldsters.

I would like to renew my subscription for ONE. I have enjoyed reading each issue very much. I am glad to see that there are a few brave people trying to help others to understand the real meaning of homosexuality. Mr. H.

Dear Editor:

It would be a good idea for you to support a certain type of case in its legal struggles and carry it all the way up to the Supreme Court. With the help of appeals in the Magazine it would not be difficult to back this celebrated cause financially.

The benefits of this action would be in-
