Letters

Sirs

I have been an avid reader of ONE, and now Tangents, for a number of years. I always enjoy the stories and letters contained in each issue.

A few months ago, Hal Call of the Mattachine Society appeared on one of our local t.v shows to explain something of the homosexual make-up to the general public. I believe it would be a good idea if someone from our own organization here were to make a similar appearance as a representative for the sexuality Needless to say cause of homorepresentation if we are to gain our rightwe need good ful place in society qualified than the editors of Tangents? and who is better I have written to the station on which Mr Call appeared suggesting a series of programs on this subject. If you will recall Paul Coates did one or good shows a few years back, but we have two fairly a great deal more freedom of expression now than we did then. I wonder how other readers feel about this?

It always contains many good departments, and lots of humor which I feel is lacking in our own magathe latter zine. I don't think we always have to be serious. Why not laugh a little? It sure helps. Of course, having spent the life of a frustrated "straight" 90% of my life so far I can see humor where you may not. But there are plenty of funny situations around us every day This is what I would like to see you consider to improve the magazine. Why not suggest that readers send in their humorous experiences? As a new member and subscriber I hope I am not being I'd give the editors some food for thought. a bore. I just thought LONG BEACH

Contrary to what some of your readers have said about keeping lesbian interests out of the magazine because they have the Ladder to read, I am all for including their stories and articles. I have noticed you have been printing more lately Good. I believe Tangents should represent all homosexuals wants to read a strictly one-sided magaboth men and women. Who zine?

I believe someone asked about having a question and answers column? It sounded me like a good idea, and it should be a regular feature. It would be more helpful to readers than the "Tangents" column of news should be considerably shortened. in fact, the latter column

You should also be more selective in your ads. But I realize you need the money
