ticle, by Carol Gilbert, begins by reviewing briefly the large dimensions of the homophile community in San Francisco, as well as certain. myths together with popular and scientific opinions relating homosexuals and their behavior. It continues with an interview with two undergraduate homosexuals, one male and one female, much of which mirrors the stereotyped pattern of the disturbed homosexual-unhappy and socially maladjusted. Both subjects claim they would rather be simon-pure heterosexuals if they had the choice, but, as usual, they leave it uncertain as to whether their present distresses are moral, or social, or both. At one point, the male says:"All I want is to be accepted but I can't be. I'm 'queer'," which is another another way of saying that he has not actually accepted himself. On the same subject, the female says:-

people are insensitive to homosexuals. They refuse to believe we have feelings and that they can be hurt," which is another way of saying that she herself is, or has become, more or less insensitve to motivations and viewpoints

different from her own. On the whole, the article gives the impression that it was prepared with compassion and a desire to fairly depict the subject, but the interviewees suffered somewhat from the limited scope of the questions asked, which gave them little, if any, opportunity to talk about themselves in other than a sexual context. A TIME Magazine book reviewer once opined, somewhat unkindly, that "homosexuality has come a long way from the love that dare not speak its name'; it is now the neurosis that doesn't know when to shut up." Nevertheless, the subject still comes under the motto that "any publicity is better than no publiciy." As on the subject of civil rights for racial groups, public opinion must continually be reminded and prodded until the constitutional rights of American homosexuals are reflected in both our statutes and our

public policies. INSERT is thus both cited and commended by ONE for its fair and forthright handling of an important and controversial topic.
