Miss Valentine has direly contradicted her own theme. She offers in one mouth the above statement, then later turns around and announces that the lower animals commit and accept homosexuality without question. Nature never gave any such statement as she suggests to any animal. Had nature done so, then, by nature itself, homosexuality would be forbidden, or never even created. How does Miss Valentine explain the fact that animals copulate male to male, and female with female in the face of nature's decree, when there is no possible hope of homosexuality fulfilling the command.

Further, let me inform Miss Valentine that the laws of God, or Nature, or any other omnipotent force are congruous with homosexuality, and that any animals, including man, who are bent to homosexuality are following such laws and decrees. I am afraid of the damage that Miss Valentine has done to susceptible minds.

He also blandly assumes that homosexuality is the exclusive provience of the educated, cultivated classes-There is almost a total absence of this type of male among laborers, craftsmen, and those, in general, who earn their livelihood by brawn rather than brain." Nonsense! Though a lot of homosexuals encourage this notion by insisting
