How

Division of ONE Institute presented a Symposium: Homosexuality Fits In fits into religion, philosophy, politics, everyday living, etc.

·

Starting with a brief anthropological survey, examination was made of the possible beliefs of ancient man, superstitions, the general attitudes towards sex. A study of Greece, a period of 1500 years, showed that homosexuality was a part of the culture, not something separate. Part of the process of a young man reaching maturity was to have the guidance and tutorship of an older man. The history of America is rich with Greek influence in the fields of art, architecture and parlimentary procedure, but lacking in the concept of "Brotherly Love". Acceptance of ourselves as individuals and as members of mankind concluded the first section of the Symposium.

A look at the biological factors seons to indicate that the choice of love object is psychological in nature. Germany was used as an example of the contemporary scene; noteworthy men and women working in literature, art, etc. Many attempts are being made to bring religious doctrines a and sex mores and practices together on a more sound and practical working basis. A careful study of the Bible proves it is still the greatest book ever written and has "everything" in it.

The sessions closed with a discussion of "Homophile Organizations: Where are they Headed?" Mentioned were some of the problems and pitfalls groups of this nature should be aware of. It would appear that our culture is on the verge of a new and dynamic development in which the homophile will have an important role.
