club entertainment. The "scandal" hadn't changed a thing.
Dr. Russell V. Lee, at a recent symposium on family problems in San Francisco said that for a normal husband to remain sexually faithful to his wife is expecting too much because monogamous marriage is a "bizarre and unnatural" state, that many men are not qualified for marriage (including homosexuals) and that the main problem is ridding society of the notion mony as static than other human institutions. . . . let us build an institution that preserves and develops the great values in marriage and go on to something better fitted to human capabilites and human weaknesses."
Toronto now has its own homosexual viewpoint in the form of a 12-page tabloid offset on pink newsprint called Gay. This young paper is "gay" all right; it is also gaudy and frivilous. But there is nothing really wrong with presenting the lighter side of the homosexual viewpoint. And Gay is still a young paper.
Concerning his paper, the editor commented in one of the beginning issues, "Gay's life and direction are still malleable. . . . We intend to provide the homosexual populace with an outlet for individual expression.
"This publication will strive to present its material in an intelligent and rational manner. It will go half way to meet other schools of thought, but it expects to be greeted when it arrives." Sample contents, "The Middle Sex," "Diary of a Call Boy," "Home life of a Homo Marriage, 'Mothers' Advice." Gay is published twice monthly at 25c.
