Granted, all the organizations together are never going to be able to gather up all the ones who seem compelled to flaunt their homosexuality at society and, shall we say, "show them the better life," but slowly and surely we can help slow down the breeding of this defiance. How? There are several ways now and more will become evident in the future. One, of course, is through all our publications, trying to show the importance of all homosexuals' using discretion not conformity, but discretion.

But of all the methods of reaching the individual homosexual, we feel none to be more successful than that of porsonal association. We are in a small but increasing proportion reaching more and more individuals in this way through our chapters throughout the country. We believe that one of the first axioms for social acceptance is selfacceptance. Where better to start finding self-acceptance than in a group of people who are themselves in varying stages of finding their own self-acceptance through group acceptance. This applies particularly to the younger poople coming up. These are the pooplo wo must be aware of if we wish to stop the breeding of defiance toward society.

Where do they go first to make contacts with other homosexuals? The bars, of course. Bars have their place, yos, but only the people with real strength can fight their way out of the example they see there that reeks of defiance, disillusionment, and despair. The defiance, disillusionmont; and despair, we all know, lie there under the mask of "ge= ioty" which the nuclous of habituals at the bars put on! Somo have been so long on the underside of the coin that they are afraid of the side toward the sun. But for those who want it, let's try showing it to them. And while there are many we won't be able to roach, we can at least stop some of this antagonism toward society which profits no ono. By the sunny side of the coin I am simply referring to the place in society each person can find and enjoy, regardless of sexual preference, when he learns that home life and public life mix like oil and water and will do so for a long time to come.

Perhaps somo may feel we are advocating conformity. Wo aro, when it comes to common courtesy to those who are yet so uneducated that homosexuals strike as much fear in them ao do child molesters, dope addicts, the mentally ill, etc.
