Letters

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO THE EDITORS FORWARD LETTERS FROM READERS TO OTHER PERSONS NOR DO THEY ANSWER CORRESPONDENCE MAKING SUCH REQUESTS.

READERS ON RELIGION Dear ONE:

Although I feel many homosexuals are wasting their lives in various ways I still

see them have basic rights and treatment. I have seen several God-created homosexual marriages fail because of the overwhelming opposition of our so-called Christian society. I want to live long enough to see established a Christian environment wherein any Joe or Mike can meet when young, fall deeply in love and have the support and love of their parents to boot.

Then, perhaps, this same Joe and Mike can live as Christian, homosexually married people and on their thirtieth anniversary tell how wonderful it was to have each other and to love one another.

Is there any greater Christian reason for living than to help our younger homosexuals know the joy of a God-created homosexual deep love affair? If we work hard enough, somewhere in the world tomorrow two human beings will be given at some beautiful moment in life that love so deep and wonderful that lifts the lovers out of the present and places them in God's presence. Mr. G.

a sixteen year-old homosexual. I have realized that I was since I was fourteen. I fail to understand why many people seem to frown upon adult homosexuals who have relationships with teen-agers. I find that I enjoy an experience with an older man, in fact I am going steady at present with one thirty-seven years old.

He is both mature and understanding with me, more so than I could ever expect my parents to be. He has shown me that Gay people are often more tolerant and liberal than straight ones are, and made me realize that with us there are no barriers such as religion, race or nationality.

Can my relationship be so wrong? I have

learned many things from homosexuals that have given me greater insight as to what love is all about.

Dear Secretary:

Homosexuals and lesbians have a moral code given to them by Jesus, as taught by Mirothomi, the mystic. Love is a serious and holy thing and we have moral obligations, just as heterosexuals do.

Dear Friends:

Mr. H. Victoria, Australia

Do not think me a crackpot for saying this -I urge you to encourage a religious approach to the problem you are dedicated to help solve. Follow the examples of the Jews, Negroes and others who have suffered various forms of persecution.

The problem is essentially a moral one. Base your stand on the moral truth at the center of your being. Avoid identification. with any particular church, also hostility to any. Your church is in your heart.

We need science, psychology, biology, anthropology and the rest, but they have not helped much yet, because the poetic, mythical, religious and moral aspects of the truth have not been sufficiently recognized. Society will not accept, much less love, you until the hearts of individuals have been touched.

Scientific facts cannot reach the heart, but the poetic truth, the moral truth can, does, and will influence the human heart with sympathy and admiration.

Mr. W.

To Whom It May Concern:

Churches are locked and barred with iron doors. To whom does one turn in the hour of need? Thank God, I can still communicate with God. He at least is there when I call.

It took me ten years to accept finally what

I am, but the heartbreaking part in this all is that the person I love is so troubled that he is taking out all his hurts on me-much the way I reacted at the same age. Mr. M.

Dear Editors:

San Diego, California

The fanatical suppression of sex by our sanctimonious society, and the restrictive legislation that they have invented, has brought about another Garden of Eden paradox for, instead of suppressing, the result has been an amazing intensification-like pouring gasoline upon a fire to put it out.

Thereby, also, one of Nature's intended control valves-the homosexual-was frustrated. Already the scene is so crowded that the average man no longer can find employ-
