We get oblique angles on Davis and the others; vocal timbre, walk, cigarette handling, etc., which enhance the image yet still magnify Pierces immense talent.

Dear Maiy: That letter from Colorado made me stop and think. Im a guy who has been gay for as long as I can remember. One night I got bombed on beer and stoned on pot and went the other way with a straight girl. (She was also bombed and stoned.) We both wanted to see what it was like. When we sobered up several hours later we were sick to our stomachs and couldn't look at each other. It would never have happened if we had been in our right minds. We agreed it. was stupid, nutty and never again. But and heres the clincher we have been dear friends ever Portland, Denver and Boise correspondents needed.

As for your favorite looniness, Ann thinking of homosexuals as who a have "Severe personality disorder isn't that a people condition that renders a person unable to handle a human experience? So please tell me, who has the biggest chunk of it? Lake City, Utah. Alabama Letters Cont. there is a single gay person who has not h ad some moments of wishful thinking heshe was not gay. With being gay come the moments, be they months or years of accepting the fact we are different than what our parents and neighbors might have wished us to be. Nothing in this period of acceptance can be a joyous event. Once we have accepted the fact we are gay and knowing there is nothing we can do to change our drive, nor medical science can do to change us, we have to learn to accept the constant the stings and barbs hurled at us from those who would have us different. All this does verylittle to make any of us jump for joy. I suppose it is for this reason the attitude of what you mention in your letter creeps our through the Until the time comes paper. I when can find something mirthful for the paper, why don't you get busyh and write solmething in a lighter vein? We're always in need for new fresh articles. , Thanks 5Mnujcfi.' Dear Al: The term severe personality disorder can cover a lot of territory. Some homosexuals function extremely well in business, the professions, the arts, sciences and are in fact, prominent community leaders. (Many are so neatly closeted, no one would guess a thing.) Their "personality disorder relates only to sexual preference. By the same token, some heterosexuals are plenty crazy in ways to numerous to 'mention. AS tc who has the bigger chunk of it, I'd say it's a draw. Dear Maiy:You missed a bet when you responded to the two gay lovers who wanted the freedom to walk hand in hand, caress and dance together if they felt like it. Your statement that it was inpoor taste for any couple, heterosexual or homosexual, to mush it up in public was correct, but you ignored the most revealing aspect of the writer's letter. I has been my observation that any couple, gay or straight, who make an elaborate show of affection are insecure and therefore work overtime to convince observers that everything is peachy keen. People who are sure of their love don't feel the need to put on a public display of thicr closeness. A People Watcher Dear Watcher: Step up to the head of the class.
