              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two BR Women Exchange Vows in ‘Gay Wedding’ &lt;/strong&gt;by Bill Bankston&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two Baton Rouge women, Gloria Villani, 49, and Earline Robin Hulsey, 34, exchanged marriage vows in a Sunday ceremony at the Metropolitan Community Church mission in New Orleans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two women said that this week they seek to obtain a civil marriage license at the clerk of court’s office in Baton Rouge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They said they expect to be denied the license and that they will then launch a court fight to obtain legal recognition for marriages of their type.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ceremony, which included communion and exchange of rings, was performed by the Rev. Ron Anderson from the Metropolitan Community Church in Ft. Worth, Tex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A spokesman for the church said it was founded in 1968 in Los Angeles and that there are now about 60 congregations in North America and Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Sunday ceremony was the 10&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; such service performed at the church in New Orleans, members said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both women have lived in Baton Rouge since 1969. Miss Hulsey is a native of Oklahoma and Miss Vallani is a native of Louisiana.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They met about a year ago, they said. Miss Hulsey said she was once married to a man but that marriage was annulled.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>&lt;p&gt;This is one of twelve stoles donated by Merrill Proudfoot to honor friends and colleagues.  Lester was a friend of mine as well.  Part of an older generation (he was in his 70's when I first met him), he was an example of so many whom the church has treated with a double standard.  It was quite obvious that his partner was more than just a "roommate" for 37 years.  However, as long as Lester was willing not to talk openly about their relationship, the church was more than willing to take full advantage of his many musical and administrative gifts -- even to ordain him as an elder -- while at the same time voting to maintain the ban on LGBT ordination in presbytery.&lt;/p&gt;

Dear Howard and Mark,&#13;
&#13;
The rest here is doing me good as I try to regain some strength and improve my health.  From May until July I lost twenty pounds and by the time I left for Israel both my legs had picked up some severe reaction to something. One of the drugs which my doctor prescribed gave me a hallucigenic reaction and for a couple of weeks I lost all bearings - barely making it through the Shabat service when I observed yahrzeit for my father. Now, at least, my weight is stablized - although I must start a tremendous effort to regain weight and I am on a maintance dosage of cordisone until I return to New York. The doctor here said he never saw anything like what has attacked my legs and after hearing the total situation suggested admittance into a hospital for two-three months of test. That isn't feasible, but testing will begin once I return.</text>

              <text>26 February 1961&#13;
&#13;
Keith Wedmore:&#13;
&#13;
Dear Friend,&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for your letter to George Gorman dated 21 February. I am more touched than I can say at the kindness and warmth of your response to my comments. So touched that I will buy a new ribbon before I next write that your aching eyes be not strained beyond bearing in efforts to decipher my comments.&#13;
&#13;
If you and the QCH (&amp; OPS of course) think that similar comments on the rest of the drafts would be useful, I will gladly do my best. But you must bear in mind that comments of an "interested party" who has not had the benefit of your discussions is bound to be not merely biased but (to some extent) ill-informed. You will please to make allowances accordingly.&#13;
&#13;
I propose to address future letters to you as I find it easier to write 'Don't you think' rather than 'I wonder if the committee has considered'. I think that I would rather continue to send them through George, However--this is strictly confidential and for yourself only, not for the committee--I will not rule out altogether the possibility of my journeying from Chevy Chase (where I am writing, as you will know, border ballads and Elizabethan love songs) to London if it would really be useful in pulling the draft into shape.  At the moment I feel extremely critical of it.&#13;
That brings me to the question: What is the draft. I returned to George the mimeographed Parts 8 and 10 which he let me see in September. Since then I have received the following which I have letters (since the QCH has no Helpful Symbols on the documents):--&#13;
A containing &#13;
Part I (Introduction) 3 pages&#13;
Part 10 though no to marked (How can help be given?) 2 pages, p.2 being numbered 10&#13;
Part 2 (Heterosexuality) 4 pages&#13;
Part 8 (Homosexuality and the law) being your revise. 8 pages&#13;
Part 11 (Summary)  1 page&#13;
B containing&#13;
Part 5 (Perversions)  2 pages&#13;
Part 6 (Origins of sexual behavior)  10 pages&#13;
C containing&#13;
Part 3 (Homosexuality)&#13;
&#13;
I gather that this is all I ought to have, but what is "the later printed revision of Part 8: or do you mean 'duplicated' and therefore the draft in DOCUMENT A? And 'Homosexuality' was Part 5 in your synopsis (letter 4 November 1960): why is it now 3? These are not meant to be captious questions, but I can't use what little intelligence I have on the draft unless I can related each chapter to the book as a whole.&#13;
&#13;
While are on the book as a whole can I put in more more plea for a uniform prose--dignified, vigorous, lively, but unfascetious. I know that you said (4 November again) that 'a deadpan article on sex--yet another, let's face it--could be terribly dull'.  I agree. Dullness is a perennial danger of drafting documents by the committee method. But the way to avoid it (it seems to me) is to entrust the re-writing of the book to a single individual once the drafts are agreed for content. Naturally the QCH would have to re-vet the rewritten document, but at the moment the changes in style between one part and another are unhelpful. I want a vigorous book, but I also want one that moves with dignity so that is can have effective powers of persuasion. Some of the asides in some of the drafts still seem to me cheap and unworthy and all too likely to defeat what I take to be QCH's intention.&#13;
&#13;
Now for Part 3. I am mercifully ignorant of who drafted this. I assume from your letter it wasn't you, but even if it was, I judge from your letters that you are charitable enough to forgive me if I say that it seems to me completely shapeless, with a lot of irrelevancies and non-sequiturs, and with half of it utterly out of place. But I do realize that it is a first draft.&#13;
&#13;
Almost the whole of (c) belongs, I should have thought, in Part 9; and I do not therefore propose to discuss it in detail now. Surely the purpose of this chapter is to do the following: &#13;
&#13;
1, Define homosexuality--it is necessary to explain that it does not mean 'the practicing of homosexual acts' (several rather well-informed people have told me that it does).  It is also supposed that it derives from the Latin and has something to do with men, and an explanation of the Greek tongue might be useful, followed by an explanation that as the word 'Lesbianism' is commonly used for female homosexuality, the word 'h/s' in this book will be understood to mean 'male h/s;.&#13;
&#13;
2. Differentiate between h/s and preoccupation with small boys. I know that this is in all sorts of places, but it does need saying and driving home (the Nancy Mitford quotation on 0 5 is unhelpful as it can rather easily be misunderstood).&#13;
&#13;
3. Give supposed percentages (as on p.2) and refer to the wide variety of physical types, etc., to be found--the sentences 'It is commonly..unassailable' (p. 4) belong to this.&#13;
&#13;
4. Deal with merely physical h/s in adolescence (some of pages 2 and 3 come in, but the treatment of this as it stands is confusing (a) physical adolescent h/s whether individual or 'orgy-like'.  (b) emotional adolescent involvement, which is what the Radcliffe Hall passage is about, (c) seduction of an adolescent by an older man--the passage beginning 'seduction, then' is out of place as the drafter hasn't discussed the problem)&#13;
5. The incidence of h/s in present-day Britain.&#13;
There my be some other points, but I think that the chapter should stick to facts, so far as anybody is prepared to accept that anything on this subject is fact.I think that my first notes (of which I hadn't kept a copy) urged strongly that the book should move steadily along the lines of reasonably accepted facts until it came to Part Nine--though I had prepared my own imaginary synopsis at that stage. I still hold that view.&#13;
This is probably enough for a first shot. Without going through Parts (a) and (b) in detail, I am prepared to take a few detailed pot-shots:--&#13;
&#13;
p. 1. 'one can no more deplore...' A poor parallel since most grass is green and only the minority pinl, while most people are hetero and only the minority homo. I want a dignified (see 1 above) not a flippant reference to the dictionary.&#13;
&#13;
p. 4 A.P. Herbert.  Again, an unhelpful parallel, and there are too many quotations anyway--as bad as Robert Davis's pamphlets or certain Swarthmore lectures. OUT.&#13;
&#13;
p. 4 'have been actually prosecuted." Actually presupposes surprise, e.g.:-'George Gorman has actually been stick on procedure' 'Anon has actually had a fit of generosity'. The drafter means simply: 'were prosecuted'.&#13;
'Alert readers' is poor too: you can be alert and have a poor memory; or you can be alert and miss 'The Times' for a week while in Brittany (even Anon can't remember who the Junior Minister was)). And in any case I think it is dangerous to bolster as case by arguing from cases of h/s offences other than those in private.&#13;
&#13;
p. 6 'A well known Quaker'.  I just cannot see that this follows from the sentence before. I could understand it if it read: "A well known Quaker pacifist long and successfully concealed his homosexuality and once told a member of our group that, were it known, it would immediately undo all the work he had been able to do for promoting greater understanding between nations and races.' Does it mean that?&#13;
&#13;
This is really quite enough. You and the QCH will, I hope, realize that these criticisms stem from a fundamental respect and interest in the draft. If I didn't think it could be a good book I wouldn't trouble to criticize.&#13;
Yours sincerely,&#13;
Anon</text>

13th October, 1962.&#13;

&#13;
Dear George,&#13;
&#13;
In the course of a letter from Anna Bidder I note that you are going to allow until the middle of November for the final preparation of our report, but I wonder whether you can fix the publication date? The reason for this is that the people in charge of B.B.C. television religious broadcasting have been waiting for about a twelve-month with great eagerness for this report and want to arrange a Sunday evening television broadcast for three or four members of our committee the moment the report is published. Oliver Hunkin (Assistant Head of the Department, whom I know very well) has been prodding me for a long time and now he asks whether he could be reasonably certain of using for this purpose the Meeting Point programme on Sunday, February 17th. The 3rd March is also a possibility but much less convenient.&#13;
&#13;
I gather from Anna Bidder also that publication by the Home Service Committee would depend upon the approval of two Readers; I wonder to what extend this makes the project uncertain? The report will quite as controversial as my articles in "The Friend" earlier this year and will follow much the same line in general; indeed it was the feeling that I was largely supported by the committee that made it possible for me to write as I did.&#13;
&#13;
It is a bit of a nuisance that the B.B.C. should want us to be definite in this way, but on the other hand if the Meeting Point programme that the B.B.C. arranges for us is well conducted--and I think Oliver Hunkin and I can see to it that it is--it should be good publicity for the Society of Friends in the eyes of people who are looking for a courageous and constructive lead in sexual matters, and personal relationships generally, from a section of the Christian church.&#13;
&#13;
/Continued...&#13;
&#13;
We have had broadcasts of Quaker Meetings occasionally but this broadcast would be a really vigorous and concentrated discussion on the Quaker approach to human problems. We should have to make it clear, of course, that it hadn't yet secured the official approval of the Society, but it was the work of people starting definitely with Quaker pre-suppositions.&#13;
&#13;
Yours ever,&#13;
Kenneth</text>

Dear Lotte,&#13;
&#13;
Many thanks for your letter--it came by the 2nd post (12:30pm) and I have to be out all the rest of today. So I can only send a hasty and unconsidered reply. I think your notes would be very useful, can't at the moment, make any constructive suggestions, except that I am sure we should recognise that a good many females homos. do not know they are and we ought to be very careful what we way, and how. Do get the group to talk about this--I'm more than ever sorry not to come.&#13;
&#13;
Am keeping the copy of script you sent so as to go over  it more thoroughly. I see it's a carbon so you will have another.&#13;
&#13;
Many thanks--excuse haste; the dinner demands attention!&#13;
&#13;
Yours, &#13;
Joyce</text>

Miss Del Martin&#13;
The Council on Religion and the Homosexual&#13;
330 Ellis Street&#13;
San Francisco, California 94102&#13;
&#13;
Dear Del:&#13;
&#13;
In the course of a conversation, one evening, in Kansas City, you asked what the purposes and goals for the Washington Area Council on Religion and the Homosexual area.&#13;
&#13;
In order to supply you with a complete answer, I am enclosing some background material having to do both with out Council, and with the MSW Committee on Religious Concerns, the activities of which preceded, and gave rise to the Council. If you read the material in the order in which I have numbered it, I think that you may get some insight into our thinking — which, I believe, is not really significantly different from yours (except only that, since our clergymen are seemingly, more conservative than yours, we are operating as a closed-membership group, as the enclosed draft-constitution indicates).&#13;
&#13;
Any comments which you have would be appreciated.&#13;
&#13;
Our Council's address, incidentally, is:&#13;
The Washington Area Council on Religion and the Homosexual&#13;
Post Office Box 5618&#13;
Washington D.C. 20016&#13;
&#13;
As soon as I have "picked up all the threads again, after my 10 days away from Washington, in connection with the KC meeting, I will proceed to get together the material we discussed, in regard to the military — although there won't be that much, since the Services have been notable for their nearly (but not quite) unbroken silence.&#13;
&#13;
Please keep me (personally) closely posted on all developments in regard to the May 21st rally and released subjects — and I will, of course, return the favor. Thank you.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;
Franklin E Kameny</text>

Dear Keith:&#13;
&#13;
Joyce James wrote to me, as she cannot come on Sunday. She owuld have liked something written about female homosexuality, as you have not mentioned this problem at all. I have taken the liberty to note down a few thoughts, rather hurriedly, as I had her letter only to-day. I enclose my notes, perhaps you could make some use of them and hash something up about the topic. I am sending a copy of these notes to Joyce, asking her, is possible, to write her comments to me to the Club, I also send them to D.F.&#13;
&#13;
Yours&#13;
