Summary: Political Message “to Be Heard” (Press, 28 April 1978)
A letter to the editor, written by Ken McAllister on 24 April 1978, addresses comments made by Varian J. Wilson regarding homosexuality. McAllister, who possesses some psychiatric nursing training, expresses concern over the language used by Wilson, which includes phrases like "propaganda," "noisy minority," and "gentle homosexual a mythological creature." McAllister finds these terms familiar yet troubling and believes that they do not contribute to a clear understanding of homosexuality. He wishes well for the Gay Liberation Front (G.L.F.) and suggests that those not informed about current medical, legal, and social perspectives on sexual orientation should expand their reading. Through his letter, he highlights the need for more informed and compassionate discussions surrounding the topic of homosexuality.
