ONE, DECEMBER 1960 & JUNE 1954, ON RELIGION

Dear sirs:

I think your Christmas issue was one of the greatest. I only wish that every minister, priest and rabbi in the country could get a copy.

The "Open letter to Honorable Davie Fulton' was one of the most touching pieces | have ever read. It is indeed a shame it can't be reproduced and sent to millions of people who do nothing but condemn us.

I wonder if the voting power of the homosexual population of this country will be discussed at the Midwinter Institute? I think an article on the subject would help make the homosexual realize that one defense they have is the vote, in the event legislation is ever introduced, or anyone ever runs for an office whom we know will defend our rights.

Dear ONES:

If the homosexual feels he can belong to a church of whatever breed or description, I can see no reason for his not doing so but, despite the fact that such affiliation means something in the way of social integration, it is hard for me to see how anyone of intellectual integrity can support an organization which condemns him. A homosexual can privately support true Christianity, but I feel he is a fool to support an organized "Christian church which condemns him per se.

I feel that organized religions are largely superstitious fraud. These people are imperfect humans whose ex cathedra statements have no authority. They have no more ability to speak for God than anyone else.

Very important was the article on "Juventus" (November, 1960) indicating the changes of law regarding homosexuality in France. De Gaulle is a Catholic Facist, and the trend in France today is in that direction. Mr. J.

Sirs:

I want to expose your pseudo-scientific ideas. My brother was one who believed in your kind of logic before a a psychiatrist cured him. Today he enjoys sexual intercourse with girls. He has also denounced his former homosexual beliefs.

You know why people are homosexuals. They are uninformed. They have received no schooling on sexuality when they were young. Homosexuals are backward people. It was generally accepted in Greco-Roman times as a good thing to be a homosexual. Today we have killed those morals. The homosexual has no place in modern times.

One day in the future we will have educated the world and homosexuality will be history. Nazi ideas of the master race were believed. So are your ideas taken to be true by some.

Dear friends:

Mr. H. New York, N. Y.

I disagree with Don Slater's Editorial (October, 1960) saying that homosexuals do "not merge and jell easily with the masses."' For every reason which makes homosexuals individuals I can give you two which makes them conformists.

Dear Mr. Slater:

Mr. L.

I wish to take you to task for your Editorial. You state that homosexuality and communism are inimical. I disagree most heartily. I think that only when we have a greater degree of socialism in our life with its consequent greater liberty of trying to understand the various sociological problems, will homosexuality have a chance to be understood properly.

Historically we know of many revolutionary heroes who struggled and gave their lives for the emancipation of mankind who themselves were apparently leading homosexual lives. One cannot say that our own. government offers such liberty that the homosexual feels free to go about his business without covering up a bit. Try getting a civil service job, corporation job, or anything else of that nature while freely admitting that you lead a homosexual life.
