sex orientation. Also, parents, teachers, athletic coaches, and all others who deal with young people need to clarify their own attitudes concerning homosexuality. Rejection of a young person will not help him and may do incalculable harm.

michael, listen, the sea is sobbing
the only voice more vibrant is your own
too late for tears
these are the years of regret
they pass slowly
like smoke
or broken dreams

Letters
Dear Sirs:
Dear Friends:
I suppose that most of us sit back and read ONE Magazine with great interest. And if there is something about it that we don't like we write a letter of complaint or criticism. And those of us who are quite pleased with the magazine have kept our mouths shut. Well, I am sorry. I want you to know that I am enthusiastically behind your work. There was a time-before I had read and studied your magazine with care that I was ashamed of the fact that I was a homosexual. It seemed to me to be something of which a man should be ashamed. And, in fact, homosexuality and manliness seemed to be incompatible and contradictory. Thanks for setting me straight on that. And for the good fiction and research items. I like the more intellectual approach.
I am firmly convinced that if we are to make an impression (favorable) upon the non-homosexual population of the country we have best to make that impression on an intellectual approach. I am sure that ONE Magazine is making a favorable impression. It has helped shape many of my own views, and in turn I have been able to help shape views of my friends.
I should like to take this opportunity of saying how greatly I appreciate your work in dispelling the fog of ignorance and prejudice that for so long has obscured the whole subject of human sexuality. Even more valuable is your education of the homosexual himself, who, at last, is being helped to take a sane realistic view of his particular sexual orientation, free of the guilt, shame and self-pity that have oppressed too many for too long.
Everyone, not merely the homosexual, owes a debt of gratitude to ONE. Mr. G.

Perhaps the time is drawing close when we must all stand up against whatever it is that keeps us in the Twilight. Stand up and make a universal shout that will be heard everywhere on the face of the earth./Regardless of the consequences, to us, to our families, or lives or our positions.
