Dear Friend,

October 15, 1960

Do you believe in fair treatment for homosexuals in trouble?

Do you think a magazine for homosexuals has a right to exist?

Do you agree with us that homosexuality is widely misunderstood, both at the public and even at the professional level?

In short

do you CARE about homosexuals as human beings?

IF YOU DO, PLEASE HELP US. We at ONE urgently need your support to carry on our work in Education, Publishing, Research and Social Service in the field of homosexuality. The four of us who work full time in the office have given up other careers only because we believe we have a mission. (Our average salary is $60.00 gross per week right now, so we sure aren't in this for the money!) We know that millions of men and women belong to the homosexual minority, and we believe in our hearts that they have a right to be heard, and a right to equal treatment under the law and in society. It is ONE's mission to be their collective voice, and we rejoice in the privilege of serving them.

BUT WE DO NEED MONEY DESPERATELY. Advertisers do not flock to our monthly magazine. Universities do not endow our classes at ONE Institute. Corporations do not support our social services for homosexuals. Fons do not eagerly provide grants for our research activities. HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT YET A FASHIONABLE OR A POPULAR CAUSE, EVEN AMONG MANY LIBERALS WHO SUPPORT OTHER MINORITIES FERVENTLY.

We are entirely dependent upon YOU, and other friends, for financial assistance. And we ask for it every Fall, which is the purpose of this letter.

IF YOU'RE A HOMOSEXUAL, and a reasonably contented one who has made his or her adjustment to society pretty much as it comes along, some of this may seem quite remote. But were you always? Can you refuse to help us help today's new homosexuals? And the homosexuals of the future?

ONE is eight years old this Fall. We ask you for eight dollars, one for each year of our life. (Many of our friends spend that much in one night on the town!) Or, if you can send us five dollars for each of our eight years, or ten dollars, please do. (Some send a dollar a week, or five or ten dollars a month, etc.)

Whatever the amount, please don't refuse us, or forget us. Show that you CARE by helping! Please use the enclosed reply envelope now -today.
