part of our fellow servicemen. Thus, we set out on a trail difficult, yet rewarding in happiness. You are well aware that life is difficult for the homosexual who lives at home with his family, but it is even more difficult for him who tries to live in union with the one he loves. This second choice was ours. We crossed the most difficult bridge of breaking with the family. However, after long and sound talks with the family the only break necessary was that of living in our own home. Now after less than two years we are as a family should be one, and it has given me great happiness to know that they accept my home, way of life and, best of all, my friend.
Your Magazine, I am sure, will also bring joy to my parents. From just one issue I know ONE is intent not upon hate for those who condemn, but an understanding. Only by love and tolerance can we expect to achieve our position in society-an equal position with all our fellow men. I feel that your Magazine is a forerunner for this acceptance.
Even more important than what ONE does for society is what it does for us, The Homosexuals. It is a force which can bring a new outlook on life, perhaps save a young life. from extinction by giving a feeling of belonging. I am most proud to be part of a group that dares to put its foot forward against so many. May you all be rewarded by an inner feeling of satisfaction for your work.

I especially liked Alice Horvath's article, "The Problem of Meeting People." That is a problem I share with many others. Is there any way you can furnish the names of gay bars in Miami? Frankly, I'm not one to frequent bars, but I do enjoy passing an occasional evening in them, and it would be nice to know some place where I could meet some gay girls.

The old, old problem is ever with us. Unfortunately, Society" rules that we may not grant such requests; that they are, in fact, illegal. Also, did you ever ask a bar owner if he runs a gay bar? His pained expression will amuse you, I am sure.
Some day we may come to recognize that democracy requires that there shall be equal rights for ALL, and that the homosexual man or woman has the right to meet and consort with others of his kind under decent circumstances.
Dear Editor:
I approve of your advertising such books as THE GOD WITHIN. The homosexuals re-
quire a closer linkage to metaphysics. A better knowledge and control of the Astral world. will solve many of their problems. The gifts of clairvoyance and healing are not restricted to the heterosexual. I know. I have seen this time and again-with awe.

At fifty cents your magazine is "too much, and I don't think the other faggots can afford it either.

MAY WE BORROW YOUR NOSE to help leading perfumers find out which scents you prefer? Five fine test fragrances will be mailed to you if you send $1 to cover cost of bottles, packing and postage to Creative Guild, P. O. Box 605, Springfield, Ill.
Dear Editor:
My pleasure at the inspiring Supreme Court decision was dampened by that ad page 28. I've often wondered whether I had a normal sense of values or not because so often when something was found generally "tasteless" I'd see nothing wrong in it. But there is no question in my mind about this at all, and I just hope that it does not suggest a trend. May I suggest the setting up of a small side fund by interested subscribers which would be used to foot the loss if other pieces of advertising of a particularly gamey, odorous sort turn up and are refused?

I thought the cover on Feb. issue was too too much strictly swish. Not ALL that cater to the "gay" bars look like that! Hope you won't be angry with me for giving my opinion. It is a shame tho that a man wasn't placed on the cover instead of a "lady." People who see ONE for the first time might get the impression all homos are like they see on the cover. I don't hate these fellasthey're just a little worse off.
