his group was having a great deal of difficulty in functioning under the title, "Bill of Rights. And even

though the majority wanted the title reworded to something more workable, it was made quite clear that the title would stand. To find this true was quite a blow, to say the least.

Originally we felt it to be an extremely presumptuous thing even for representatives of three homophile organizations to adopt a bill that, so titled, purports to be the wishes and thinking of all homosexuals. Then to find that even the representation of such a small minority of homosexuals as we have here has no voice, either, is to us beyond sanction.

Not only are we being asked to adopt a "Bill of Rights" demanding attitudes from society (which, coming from any other group we would certainly laugh at as being for the most part impossible wants), but we are also being asked to adopt a bill whose use or final wording we have no jurisdiction over. You are asking us to sign our reputation at the bottom of a blank contract.

We realize there are questionnaires to be considered, but in the light of the difficulty of those here present in finding the same interpretation from questions asked, we cannot help but doubt their validity.

We sincerely hope that when we meet again there can be more of oneness in goals. But for the present I must state that, in our position of representing 110 members of the Daughters of Bilitis, only if this "Bill" is changed to goals or aims can we approve.

If it remains in the form of a "Bill of Rights for Homosexuals," not only do we here officially dissociate ourselves from it, but we feel it to be potentially an extremely dangerous act to the work which has been done and is being done to change public opinion.
