that it is not contrary to nature to desire the same sex. We will have to follow eventually.

Given these truths and given equal status in society as the right-handed person, the homosexual would flourish as he did in every golden age in history. For every brilliant, creative period in time has been a homosexual age. If the truth were known, as it is only known amid the brotherhood itself, much of the world's valuable social, scientific, political, cultural and artistic progress today is being made, produced and fostered by homosexuals. Given these truths the facade of exhibitionism, the publicized unpleasant aspects associated with some homosexuals would vanish. Given case for case the breach in morals would be no more, if as great, as that made by heterosexuals. For these

shows of anger, retaliation and distrust, of shame and helplessness are not inherent in the homosexual nature. They are the result of our cultural atmosphere.

In conclusion it is obvious that any broad statement as iconoclastic as: HOMOSEXUALITY IS GENETIC is subject to much discussion and argumentation. My purpose has been only to present the distillation of our study. Only that conclusion is vital. With it all else follows, no other excuse is necessary. With the knowledge comes a God-given confidence, a whole new lease on living. With it comes the profound sense of responsibility to prove to the right-handed majority that the left-handed men and women can do the same work, live as wholesome and profitable lives and leave behind as Christian a heritage to mankind.
