ington on a very important project, and, despite the fact that my superiors were aware of my army history, I was scheduled to receive an advancement of several grades, when I was obliged to resign because of ill-health. For the next several months I was undergoing medical treatment, but I, and those attempting to help me, continued to bring pressure upon the War Department to review my case. At this point my records conveniently "disappeared." I still have my dishonorable discharge, and this I have ceased to fight. For a while I was disgusted and bitter and, throwing caution to the winds, became quite well known among the saliors in the seaport city where I was undergoing treatment.
I did get hold of myself, however, and having come to the city where I now live for reasons of my health, I began to look for work. I, a gentile, soon found it with a Jewish businessman who was interested only in ability. Once having persuaded him to try me out it was not difficult to prove satisfactory. My employer soon became interested in furthering my ability and he urged me to study and to take the examinations which would permit me to extend my usefulness
and greatly increase my earning power. I appreciated my employer's interest in me and so I told him my whole story. I also told him that I still, but quietly and circumspectly, engaged in homosexual activities. He continued to urge me to take the examinations, which I did. Today, with his help and encouragement, I am a well-respected member of my profession and have many friends in business and professional circles, some of whom know my inclinations, others most certainly suspect them, and some, of course, remain ignorant of them.
I make no secret of the fact that I am unmarried, that I do not go out with girls, nor that I am buying a home with another man my own age with whom I have been living for several years. Today, despite my homosexuality, I am one of the highest paid employees of one of the most important firms in my area. I will undoubtedly remain homosexual the rest of my life. I do not deny it if asked, but I do not flout it. To me homosexuality is as natural and right as any other expression of one's personality characteristic with which man may be either blessed or cursed. A.L.H.S.
