manner imaginable. Since they are not writing fiction, they can pen the most hair-raising pornography with every assurance that they are merely presenting medical truth. Chiropractors, quacks, newspaper reporters. hotel maids, and little old ladies from Pasadena all jump on the band wagon and try to out-do each other in the field of sensationalism. They attribute the homosexual state to earthquakes, birth defects, bad toilet train, ing, cosmic radiation, Ford motorcars, and skin pigmentation. The homosexual evil, in their estimation. is the cause of overpopulation, cleft palate, juvenile delinquency, receding hairlines, and fallen arches.
These self-styled authorities doing the homosexual more harm than is easily imagined. The general public is invited to hate the homosexual more, and the poor frightened little queen of sixteen, on reading them, is more confused and miserable than ever. It is a well known fact that young people take everything that's printed as the gospel truth. They think if it is in a book it is true, and that's that. For this reason, young homosexuals are so confused that they finally just throw up their hands in horror and say to hell with it all.
Although psychology is known to be an extremely inexact science, all psychologists set themselves up as unimpeachable authorities on every phase of the human mind. I hereby publicly declare that I know as much about my fellow homosexuals as the most famous psychologist. And I know virtually nothing. A man is a man. He cannot be categorized and put into some neat little pigeonhole. As Shakespeare said, the elements are mixed in him. He does what he does for reasons of his own. The cause or the blame cannot be laid specifically on him, or on any one part of his environment. Consequently, it is al-
most impossible for us to judge him.
The homosexual wages a continual battle, and wears a disguise that is only discarded during those rare moments when he is alone with another man, making love to him. Only then can he be himself. He is not a fictional character. He is not a strong character. He is an extremely frail and complicated thing called a human being.
And he is also my brother. And I love him.
