subject in high school. How can people be tolerant and understanding toward homosexuality when they know so little about heterosexuality?

Most homosexuals are sexually frustrated, unsatisfied, repressed. Women insist on keeping their children in the dark. They assume that their daughters and sons are absolutely virgins. They know they are fooling themselves, but they prefer to perpetuate this make-believe.

Ignorance is the thing women appreciate most in men, and as far as sex is concerned, women (mothers) try to keep their sons in complete ignorance. They are so selfish they prefer to expose their sons to venereal disease rather than accept sex education.

You at ONE are doing a noble job of educating the heterosexual public. Heterosexuals are at the present time unhappy and are cruel to homosexuals because they, the heterosexuals, are so unhappy themselves dominated by women!

READERS ON RELIGION

Dear Editor:

and

It was interesting to note the six letters under this heading (May, 1962). As a layman active in my local Protestant Church 1 was disturbed to read so much self-pity, plus ignorance of New Testament ethics. If each of them would read Rev. Robert W. Wood's, "Christ and the Homosexual" he would find answers to his questions and direction for life. Since the publication of this book about two years ago the religiously disturbed homosexual has had an intelligent and encouraging directive to his relationship with the Church.

Rev. Wood considers marriage by two of the same sex, he pioneers new thinking in the realm of morals, and gives concrete suggestions to the homosexual seeking meaningful Church associations. Let the homosexual study this book and he will discover many of his problems have been considered, followed by specific answers.

Dear Sirs:

Mr. D.

Newark, N. J.

I would like to give a few words of encouragement to some of my brothers and sisters in the Letters Column, if I might:

Never forsake God nor give up hope, for no matter how many times our friend or any friends may hurt us we have a Loving Father on high that loves and understands his children here on earth below.

While it is true that Church, along with Society, does condemn us who are gay, there are a few churches throughout this wonderful land of ours that leave the doors of the church open. It is also true that there are clergymen, priests, ministers and rabbis that

are gay and are capable to advise and counsel us in difficult times, for they understand the problem of the homosexual and (like myself) are willing and sympathetic to lend an ear. Hang on to what is good and never forsake the finer things of life that are to be had by those that desire them. Father S.

MISCELLANY Dear ONE:

Cedar Lake, Indiana

Another week, another dollar. I hope you don't decide to bill me for what you are worth to me; I couldn't afford it. Maybe some of us don't deserve what you are doing for us, but we who have any sense at all appreciate it and love you for it. I'm glad you found a good new home, you deserve the best.

Dear Friends:

Mr. F.

Stone Mountain, Ga.

Congratulations and many kind wishes on your new location. Special thanks for the article "The Invisible Society," by Carol Bradford (May, 1962). Within the last few months I have made the acquaintance of some of the most tremendous people I would ever want to meet-and they are all dykes. I retract all my narrow-minded statements which I have made in the past regarding our female counterparts.

Your last few issues have been tremendous. Sometimes a little disturbing, and at other times that long-awaited "shot in the arm." I am constantly overwhelmed by your handling of these delicate subjects so precious to all of us with such tact. All one has to do is to compare at any given moment the level of gay thought in any uninhibited gay situation or society and then compare the level of editorial expression of ONE, and one cannot help being proud of the tremendous efforts you are making.

Dear Editor:

Mr. A. Burlington, Vermont

After two weeks I feel that I know the city pretty well but I have been somewhat disappointed with the life in Tokyo. It is certainly fascinating in many respects, but I have yet to find the sort of adventures described in the issue (November, 1960) you had on Japan.

Dear Fellows:

Mr. B. Tokyo, Japan

The issue (June, 1962) was excellent throughout. I found the article on "Coming Out' most enjoyable. I couldn't help but reflect that whether it occurred to us soon or (as with myself) late, with joy or with pain, it was a process we would not want to reverse even if we could.
