Homosexuality Increasing, Expert Says

The following is, a partial report from a Texas law enforcement conference held in Fort Worth nine months ago. It appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Many readers of the REVIEW will criticize the statements made here because the speaker cited an increasing awareness of homosexuality as an actual increase of its incidenceLa common fallacy that most unbiased observers have pointed out time and again. Of interest, however, is the statement by a psychologist that expressions of sadism are most often seen among those aberrants whose sexuality is repressedmeaning, perhaps, that guilt and frustration combine to force outlets which are too often harmful to others.

BY GARY CARTWRIGHT. Homosexuality is on the upswing and is being reflected more each day by teen-agers.

Teen-age girls are wearing their hair shorter and boys are growing theirs longer. But it goes farther than this:

The girls are developing hero worship for male celebrities with feminine characteristics and young males are getting "crushes" on female movie stars with masculine characteristics.

"This is what really scares me." Dr. Everett L. Sutter, San Angelo clinic psychologist, told an audience of law enforcement officers here Monday.

Speaking at the annual conference of the Texas Division of the International Association for Identification, the San Angelo

authority said:

"I think this upswing can be credited a lot to the situation caused by World War II and Korea, where children were left with the mother in complete control.

"High divorce rates is another contributing factor. When a couple are separated the children go with either the male or the female parent, but not with both.”

This concept is difficult to accept until you understand that homosexuality is a symptom of hate the male child for the mother and the female for the father, he said.

Sadism in some degree is present in all homosexuals, Dr. Sutter explained. It is more prevalent in those who do not practice perversion.

"These are the cases that give police the most trouble."

Dr. Sutter surprised many of the members by saying homosexuality can be cured in almost every case.

"So far we've had 100 per cent success with 28 cases tested. If we can keep the subject away from the mother (or father in cases of females) for at least a year, we've got the problem licked."

The treatment, he explained, works something like Alcoholics Anonymous. It involves the teaching of a "higher power-a basic Christian teaching."

It also makes the subject aware of the hate factor and shows him how he projects this factor.

Homosexuals may practice perversion in many ways including sadism (sexual pleasure in abus. ing others) and masochism (sexual pleasure in being abused.)

In other business at the threeday conference, which opened Monday at Hilton Hotel, R. O. Queen, assistant superintendent of the bureau of identification of the Houston police department, was elected president of the organization.
