Not once, but many times has ONE been called by friends and readers "provincial."

The basic drives, motivations, interests, desires and problems of the homosexual minority are certainly not confined to California or the United States. In fact, probably no other minority is more evenly spread throughout the world and in no other minority can the needs and problems be more thoroughly homogeneous. No individual, no group can be more cognizant of these facts than is ONE. Why then is it not more apparent in our pages?
