Dear sirs:

In Mr. Gerber's otherwise sensitive article "The Society for Human Rights" (September, 1962) there is a slighting reference to the Bible. This does not stand alone many blame part of the present legal and social prohibitions on Judaism; an unjust and faintly anti-Semitic twist that I resent highly.

What are the facts? Is Judaism, and are the Holy Scriptures opposed to homosexual behavior? The answer is, no! The largest and most influential group of Jews during the time of Jewish rule, the Saducees, were admirers of the Greeks and of athletes. They advocated and enjoyed a wide sexual life.

Earlier, the story of King David shows the acceptability of homophilism, not just by Judaism, but also by the Bible's compiler, the scholar Ezra. The Talmud says, "Honor the unwed scholar. Men, love him; women, work for him; homes, give him a place."

It was the followers of Christ who had a special venom against the homophile! Jew and non-Jew must accept this fact, once and for all!

Mr. T.

ONE'S 1963 MIDWINTER INSTITUTE

WILL focus on a thorough examination of the legal status of homosexuals in the United States today with special emphasis on the implications for homosexual citizens in other states of the new legal code in Illinois in effect since January 1, 1962.

Attention will also be given to the civil rights of homosexuals as government employees, as public school teachers, as members of the armed forces, and as patrons of public health agencies.

You cannot afford to miss the sessions on these important topics. Plan now to attend ONE's 1963 Midwinter Institute in Los Angeles, the last weekend in January. Now is the time to make your arrangements.
