regard it is a fact, the same as the need to wear glasses. Instead of judging whether an arrangement or solution is right or wrong, they should consider it on the basis of effect, the results. It is something which has been with us since the dawn of time, and will be here so long as there are people. ONE magazine is making a dent, helping people to understand, I think.

Thank you, Mr. Winters. You've been frank and very helpful. It seems that a homosexual may or may not be adjusted. If he is adjusted, he is stable, as stable as the rest of us. It also appears that a homosexual may make an make an outstanding teacher. If that is so, shouldn't he teach? Shouldn't he be given personal freedom in his private life? He's usually very careful in public, and in dealing with children. It is known, that most homosexuals are religious. Could it not also be, they have just as much integrity and character as the next person? It must be remembered that the admirable homosexuals are not usually known to be homosexuals. That's what makes for poor public relations and sweeping condemnations. Isn't it true, that the public should know more about the problem? Both to understand it and prevent it where possible in

Personal:

children as they grow up. If we condemn the homosexual as such, and deny him the right to work, we are certainly making his life no happier. He needs happiness and a sense of achievement, the same as the rest of us. Further than that, on a more selfish, cold-blooded level, if we lose the homosexual or crush him, we are losing something ourselves. We're losing his services, his value to the community. Wouldn't it be of greater gain to ourselves, to protect his happiness and reinforce his stability, than to harass him? How would you and I feel threatened, hounded, and laughed at? Do you think we could do our job as well? Do you believe we could think as clearly, be as fair, and creative? Happiness is elusive, at best. Should we deny it to certain individuals? What kind of a person does it make us, if we try to understand him? Are we better or worse for it? I believe the public as a whole, is more than fair, more than generous, once it knows the facts in a situation. When the people know the need, their hearts open, and they derive a sense of achievement from doing something to help. They feel worthwhile themselves. I agree the public should be informed, and I'm happy to see headway being made. Thank you.
