a military advantage over
their neighbors.
Anti- horn asexual i sm became a patriotic attitude
connected with the territorial
ambitions of the Jewish kings.
It become an obcession of the
Jews and permeated every
aspect of their culture. It
was carried into Christianity
by Saul of Tarsus (St. Paul),
who spews forth anti-homosexual venom in the "Epistles
of Paul", more than half of
the New Testament'*. There
is an anti-homosexual taboo
built into Christianity, but
it lacks the intense patriotic
fevor of the Jewish taboo.
Gentile scientists seem to
overcome their subconscious
hate, but even Jewish athiests
have such firmlyrooted anti-
homosexual obcession s in
their cultural heritage that
it dominates their mental
processes to the extent that
it dominates their mental
processes to the extent that
the y cannot view homosexuality rationally.
Hopefully, American
cultural inhibitions against
mass extermination will preclude a restaging of the last
days of Be I sen and Dachau.
More likely, the neo-eugen-
icists will attempt genocide
by murdering homosexuals
while they are still fetuses
— as they have already iirt-
p.ied.
Either way, the genocide
of Gays will be disastrous
for the world. The ecology
probably requires a certain
percentage of Gays for ecological balance- In addition,
a high percentage of artists,
composers and literary figures
ore Gay. Gays such as Shake-
spear, DaVici, Michaelangelo
and Tchailcowski have brought
beauty into an ugly het world.

YMCA & YWCA: BAH!
The Young Men's Christian Association and the Young
Women's Christian Association in Houston do not turn
out to be as Christian as
their legal names imply, nor
as Christian is defined generally.
The Downtown YMCA
and YWCA both discriminated
against the American Association of Christian Crusaders
fAARC) and its Church of
Montrose by cancelling the
Church's reserved space on
Sunday the 23rd of May, 1971.
Both places had accepted the
Church's reservation of space
to use for church services,
then reneged at the last
moment on their agreements.
This shabby treatment of the
Church of Montrose and its
pastor, resulting in financial
loos and embarrassment, is
not to be casually excused.
These so-called "Christian" organisations violated
their agreements tor the sole
reason that the Church of
Montrose serves primorilly a
homophile community. Ap-
parantly these "Christian"
associations are not prepared
to follow the lead of their
purported Master and extend
the hand of Christian brotherhood to such as we. A sad
commentary on the basic
principles of the YMCA and
the YWCA. And rather silly
considering the universal reputation of both institutions!
The Gay citizen no longer
has to tolerate the malicious
opinions of the hets of this
world. Those days are long
and mercifully dead. As for
the YMCA and YWCA we
would remind our readers and
friends that both derive part
of their financial support
from the United Fund. Even
allowing for the extortion
techiniques used by the
United Fund to receive "Donations" from salaried employees here, we would urge
the homophile community to
say NO' to any further donations to them. Instead, direct
your donations to the Church
of Montrose. If you wish to
Support a Christian organisation, then support one
whichhas our genuine interest
ot heart.

Editor,
I wish you would quit
using the word straight as the
opposite of Gay. Straight
means right, correct usual,
ordinary,moral truth, fairness,
honesty accurate, upright.
reliable, and candid. Its
antonyms are tricky, dishonest, crooked, swindler, abnormal, confused, devious
dissolute, unnatural, and
vicious. (Funk andWaggneH's
Dictionary). When straight is
used as the antonm of Gay,
you imply that Gay is unnatural, and abnormal. The
continued use of the word
straight has an undesirable
subconscious psychological
effect on the readers and
militates against pride, self-
esteem, etc, and causes Gays
—to think of themselves in a
negative manner.
I suggest that the non-
prejudical word "Het" be
used instead of straight. You
will note that most of the
underground press has already
switched to the new usage.
I AM NOT ABNORMAL
P.S- I enclose a submission
which i s also furni shed to
Liberation News Service and
out of state Gay publications.
Dear / Am Not Abnormal,
We think your idea is a
good one, ana* in this edition
of The NUNTIUS we have
used the word "het" in
several instances, along with
the word* "straight" to describe a person of heterosexual persuasion. The word
"straight" has taken on many
more meanings in current
English usage over the past
few years and the dictionary
definitions are no longer
final. This is typical of any
living, vital language; the
dictionaries will catch up
later.)
Editor
Dear Phil,
Houston's Gay scene has
been most fortunate to have
three first class quality clubs.
Can you name any other city
in America which has three?
The old Palace Club was
first, the Romulus, then the
Phoenix fire bird rose out of
the ashes to penthouse level
and became the new Palace,
and then came that cute
Tattooed Lady- The Palace
Club was the most beautiful
Gay spot in America, even
if it did look like some
femme fetale screen star's
kosher bedroom.
As usual, the Gay crowd
ignored quality, most staying
away claiming the Palace as
being "too" elegant. If a
city has 20 and more gay
bars, why shouldn't 2 or 3
of them be fine places? If
one is going out to gay places,
why be forced to limit one's
self only fo dirty, uncomfortable grubby ugly places.
Some kid themselves that
they don't feel comfortable in
a fine place. Others have a
mistaken opinion that fine
places are nelly. What is
nelly about the Houston
Country Club, the River Oaks
Country Club, the Houston
Club or the Bayou Club?
These places are all fine
"The Nuntius" contacted Miss Anne
Homack, Assistant Director of the
Houston Public Library, concerning
the installation and use of a two-
way mirror by the Houston Police
Depot tment in the men's rest room
at the Library.
Miss Homack was queried concern-
D^jl |t F '"9 **ie *n'rror ana sne related that
its installation had been mode at
the request of the Houston Police
Department. "... she didn't re-
,t___fiyu member just how many years ago.
I ClI\ "Because of numerous complaints
made by patrons of the Library concerning "certain actions" that were
transpiring in the Library's facility.
When asked if the mirror had been
a determining factor in reducing the
number of complaints, the Assistant
Director stated that, "Yes, it hod
been o determinant in curtailing
these actions" and that such unpleasant activities had calmed down.
She went on to say that recently
the staff of the Library had received
very few complaints from their
patrons and that "... spells of
complaints came in cycles."
