outlet for your sex drives as the leader of a "rough and tumble group of young men." Although most people do not recognize it, you were "protesting too much." I find it rather common for men with latent homosexual tendencies to try to cover their sensitive natures by over-doing the rough stuff. I am sure you will find a happier adjustment in life by accepting your true nature. Thus, instead of putting so much of your vital energy into building smoke screens to hide behind, you can apply this same creative energy into working out a truly artistic sexual routine based on

mutual interests and understanding friendships. Thus you could build a truly happy, creative life with someone whom you can respect and cherish. I'd love to hear what you have to say about it all a year from now. Remember that you have had a fortunate experience but not all homos are angels any more than all heteros are devils. Discrimination is important in all aspects of life. Just now you are wearing rose-colored glasses! With all good wishes, Sincerely,

Dr. Blanche

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO THE EDITORS FORWARD LETTERS FROM READERS TO OTHER PERSONS NOR DO THEY ANSWER CORRESPONDENCE MAKING SUCH REQUESTS.

Gentlemen:

Have enjoyed your magazine immensely since discovering it about a year ago through friends from New York. Would it be possible for you to run an article or series on "Gay Resorts? On the East Coast we have Ogunquit, Me., Provincetown, Mass., Fire Island, N. Y., New Hope, Pa., etc., which I am sure your West Coast readers would enjoy reading about. We in turn would certainly appreciate hearing about places where our friends on the West Coast and in the Midwest enjoy their vacations. I am certain it would be worth the effort and certainly make interesting reading. Mr. P. PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Dear Sirs:

Your editorial statement (July, 1959) "Homosexual acts between consenting adults. are neither antisocial, nor sinful": this with the rest of your platform has my assurance and I am willing to back it to the utmost. The poem by Willis Eberman, "Other People" sure thrilled me. Also the item about one of the largest parks in one of the largest cities: Central Park in New York brought back many wonderful memories of my most wonderful times after dark... Time is endless. It seems there is no end to this endless chain of events.

Mr. W. WASHINGTON, D. C.

Dear Sir:

By a stroke of luck or fate I discovered a copy of ONE in the drawer of an hotel at a seaside resort near Cape Town. I found it to be a most fascinating magazine of a very high quality. Some years back in a magazine called People Today I vaguely remember a friend of mine pointing out an article stating that such a magazine was being published. As I could not trace it further I presumed that this venture had petered out.

I myself am twenty-three, fond of reading and dabble in art and music although I am not particularly knowledgeable in the latter two. I am fond of the social whirl, but for obvious reasons do not attend queer parties too frequently.

Mr. F.
