Liberal L.A. keeps growing. Los Angeles will, by 1971, have the biggest Jewish population of any city in the world, a B'nai B'rith official predicts. The traditional liberal intellectuality of Jews undoubtedly has played a part in making L.A. (the birthplace of almost every major homophile organization) an intellectual center of the world. Harry Golden's world famous bi-monthly, The Carolina Israelite (a real bargain) nearly always contains a comment (and never anti-!) on homosexuality. He says there are three

great homosexual periods in history-the third being right now.

And Alison Hunter was wondering about the socio-sexual significance of the increasing number, in ladies restrooms all over the U.S., of standee urinals-and in the very best hotels, dept. stores, office bldgs., etc. Havelock Ellis, who wrote extensively on the subject, as that was the key to his aberrant sexuality, would have been fascinated. Few people know that the norm in ancient Egypt was that the women stood and the men squatted!

DRAFTEES

Frank-eyed farm-browned boys in skimpy suits Clutch canvas bags by curbs to board Delayed, mud-spattered buses. Slender smooth-chinned city youths, Hair waxed in four-way clover-leafs, Lounge leanly against ticket ledges, Feigning nonchalance, sly-eyeing Hulking, hippy clipped blondes.

In skin-tight pants whose faded seams Outline three-D anatomy.

Tapered boots crossed casually

Brush moccasins that hesitate,

Eyes slowly elevate, gaze and wait

The shy responding glance.

Husky unsure voices curse, inquire,

Or swagger eagerly.

Bold leather steps approach with laughter, Debonair in uniform.

All eyes swivel, follow, wonder,

Could that pair be me-and mine?
