they are as normal as the majority (dope addicts, alcoholics and paranoiacs say the same thing)." "The homosexual wants the right to be considered harmless when in reality he is a danger-a source of contagion and perversion." "The homosexual wants the right to mingle freely in society without causing aversion and repugnance and without discrimination. But the aversion which a normal person feels for a homosexual is a natural instinct and he has a right to be repelled; to expect him to feel otherwise is to ask him to abrogate his rights in favor of the homosexual."

The second of these two chapters is entitled "What to Do About It." Here are some excerpts: "We have treated the problem of homosexuality in North America with the greatest objectivity. Assuming that there are causes, the suppression of those causes would do away with the effects. For that reason we turn our attention now to its prevention." Here follows a very simple plan: eliminate pornography, and this can be done by not allowing any woman to appear on the street, on the stage, in the movies, or in any picture with one bit more of her anatomy exposed than some austere senator or worthy president would allow his wife or daughters to expose in public.

Parents should abstain from any expression of marital disagreement or discord for "to place the child in the position of a judge, even though no sentence is requested of him, is to send him down paths which will affect his future conduct." "If parents cannot avoid leading a dissolute life, the children must never be allowed to know it."

Boys must be treated and brought up like boys; girls like girls. Children must be given a "sane and healthy sex education by a responsible and well educated person." Sometimes the physician may be invaluable but one must be very careful that the doctor is himself "healthy." "A homosexual physician is a veritable calamity." Children must be carefully isolated from any contact with adult homosexuals.

And then, having prevented the creation of any new homosexuals the old ones must be "cured or corrected, whether or not they wish to be cured. We must force them to want to be cured."
