people is challenging in revolutionary ways, talks out of both sides of the mouth. Out of one side of the mouth, the establishment proclaims that the majority is heterosexual, and draws the line on the continuum to include the majority. But it is able to do so only by closing its eyes to actual behavior.

We need at this point to paint a second picture. Who is honest? The establishment maintains that the majority is honest-while at the same time being very dishonest about the truth of the homosexual situation. But we know that everyone cheats a little. Who is honest: the man who cheats 4%, 10%, 30%, 60%, 90%? When does he become a thief? The answer: when he gets caught.

A man who steals 90% of the time but is never caught spends his life renowned as a moral citizen, while the man who steals only once and is caught goes to jail. The same is true, of course, in illegal sexual behavior. The establishment counts only those homosexuals who admit it, or are caught. This means that the vast majority of persons who have homosexual experience are allowed to pass as heterosexuals, much as Negroes who have lost identifying racial characteristics are often successful in passing as whites.

At this moment, there are prominent psychiatrists and students of sexual psychology who will admit privately that the heterosexual establishment is going to be increasingly challenged by scientific fact. The fact which will be established is that all persons have strong homosexual desires and impulses, although many succeed in sublimating or supressing these desires to a point where they do not know they exist. Scientific fact number two: the vast majority of persons engage in homosexual acts when they have the need or opportunity. One young man, recently completing a five year term in prison, was teased by some of his friends

when he reported that "nearly everyone in the prison was having sexual relations with someone." Finally, he blurted out a statement which was truer than he realized: "Just because I enjoyed sex in prison doesn't make me a queer! I just need sex. I just like sex. Human beings are just sexual persons.'

Now here is the point of the disagreement over definition. Is this young man homosexual? The establishment says no. Out of prison he has taken up with girls again-although never exclusively. His "homosexual episode" was a temporary one, they say, of five years when he was deprived of "normal" sex. He is to be counted with the heterosexual majority from now on, despite the fact that he will continue to enjoy homosexual activity part time from now on. So out of one side of its mouth, the heterosexual establishment seems to be saying that anyone who has some satisfactory heterosexual relationships is a heterosexual. By that definition, the vast majority is indeed heterosexual. Indeed, despite many of the "case studies" and psychological documents which seem to read to the contrary, I know from vast personal experience that most homosexuals can and do from time to time greatly enjoy heterosexual experience.

Does a fraction of heterosexual ex-

perience make one heterosexual, or a fraction of homosexual experience make one one homosexual? An honest answer may be that we are all bisexual. The fact is that all, or nearly all young adolescents are homosexual, and the achieving of heterosexuality is quite an accomplishment, to be achieved only through a difficult struggle. In fact, very few make it, as heterosexuality is defined by the establishment.

For where out of one side of its mouth the establishment proclaims that the majority is heterosexual, out of the other side of its mouth it de-
