down when I'm misbehaving, he also believes in me.

Sure, I sometimes get awfully mad at him. Sure, he sometimes annoys me nearly to distraction with some of his quirks (and vice versa), but, so what? This is life, and nothing is perfectly satisfactory in life. But I love the guy and wouldn't give him up for the world's greatest lover or the Bank of England.

There is nothing like the trials and tribulations of a steady partnership to learn about yourself. The interplay of our philosophies, beliefs and backgrounds against which our homosexuality developed, and the experiences through which we each found self-acceptance -all of these are of importance in our understanding of each other. Every individual is a world in himself and communication is possible in only the smallest degree actually. Don't underestimate the homosexual "marriage. It is a wonderful thing for those who can find it.

Now comes Frank ("The Single Homosexual") Golovitz to say: "If a young man considers himself a girl, there's no harm in his trying to be a good wife to some big bruiser -but it isn't real homosexuality."

a drink they'd kick in with fifty cents pretty fast. If the poor little "faggots" can't afford the magazine the lesbians will buy it.

I'd buy ONE even if it cost double the price. Where else can I buy a magazine where the characters are gay, doing the things I've done and know about?

And now comes the May issue. The article, "Is Your Child Homosexual" is terrific. I wanted to shout with joy when I read it. Arnell Larsen (San Juan Capistrano) needs a lot more training. I mean: study of the better authors. The story was OK, but he needs a little more-well, polish may be the right word for it.

Gentlemen:

Miss W. BROOKLYN, N. Y.

Let me congratulate you on the fine May issue. Especially noteworthy was the splendid story by Arnell Larsen, which was beautifully done and an example of writing on a homosexual theme at its best.

I get quite a few letters from friends in Australia, inquiring about ONE, but the censorship there is so strict that I have discouraged them. Can ONE be mailed there?

"Real homosexuals are rare, even if homosexual practices may be commonplace," declares Vardis Fisher, in his book, God or Caesar. Will you ask Mr. G. (Fisher didn't explain himself) for more information? I'm curious to know how real I am.

Dear ONE:

I don't know whether I'm imagining it or not, but your magazine seems to be improving! "The Single Homosexual" is the best article I have seen in ONE. Also, "Art on Saturday Night" was good. I see that Mr. T. feels that fifty cents is "too much," and that the other "faggots" can't afford it either. I'll bet if they wanted to buy a good-looking guy

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Subscribers in many parts of Australia and New Zealand have been receiving their copies of ONE without difficulties of any kind ever since the Magazine was founded.

Dear Mr. Lambert:

Congratulations on the May issue. It is the best yet; and, for my vote, the story "Mission San Juan Capistrano" is outstanding on every

count.

Dear Mr. A. (March, 1958, "Letters"):

Many of us know that there is nothing wrong per se in being attracted to teen-agers. What is unkind or hurtful is wrong, and that
