True, everybody has a right to voice his opinion, but his idea of a totally homosexual world is just as absurd, more so, than the idea. of a totally heterosexual world. And what are the majority of heterosexuals going to do? Just sit around and let Steuart's world come to pass?
He can't be serious. I am convinced the whole thing is a joke. It's a good one too, but perhaps it would have been better if you had included one showing the other extreme, just as absurd. An article by Dr. Bergler perhaps. Mr. D. Austin, Texas
Dear Sirs:
I was shocked and disappointed that you would publish such trash as Steuart's. I am very much in favor of artificial insemination and would like to see an objective, scientific article on the subject, but his article is NOT on the subject despite its title.
His only message is his desire to stamp out all heterosexuals. It is as ridiculous to think of stamping out 90% of the population as for the Negro to want to eliminate all whites. Steuart should be reminded that this country is based on freedom and tolerance and that to fight intolerance with intolerance is merely a trite example of two wrongs not making a right.
Are you Editors trying to alienate all heterosexuals? If so, you are on the right track. My parents, who are sincerely trying to understand my "abnormality," got hold of that issue, the first they had seen, and on the basis of Steuart's article decided that ONE is just a ridiculous piece of propaganda, published for the purpose of proving that homosexuals are the best people on earth.

WHO SAYS UNDESIRABLE?
Dear Editor:
I enjoyed the "Humor From Holland," also the "Voices From Afar" (Letters, May, 1961). Previously I read about someone who was kicked out of the Services with an Undesirable Discharge. I too have one.
Like so many others, I was involved when one person was caught and turned in the names of over three hundred of us, including business men, a priest and men from all the Services. I thought this was going to be bad, but it is NOT.
I have a very good job with a big company. So I hope the unfortunate ones who have had Undesirable Discharges or the ones who might have them in the future will not think of them as so terrible and do foolish things.
Of the number of those at the same time as myself I knew of three who committed
suicide rather than go home and face family and friends. Excuse me for getting carried
away.
Dear Sir:

Believe the following item in OUR NAVY magazine (January, 1957) is significant and may perhaps mean the difference between verdicts for some of your future Navy men who are readers:
"The Military Court of Appeals has reversed the sodomy conviction of a Navy career man who was sentenced to be dismissed from the service two months before he was eligible to retire.
"The Court noted that Chief Warrant Officer was convicted mainly on the strength of testimony of a shipmate supposedly involved in the alleged acts. The Court said insufficient weight had been given the testimony of thirteen witnesses who said 's character was excellent.
"He was accused of participating in several acts of sodomy aboard the USS WASP (CVS-18).
"The Court said that character testimony is 'often the best, if not the only defense which the accused can produce in a sodomy case." Mr. S. Jamaica, N. Y.
