Text Any textual data included in the document Homosexuality from the inside an essay by David Blamires Published by the Social Responsibility Council of the Religious Society of Friends Friends House, Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ Foreword The Social Responsibility Council of the Society of Friends is glad to have facilitated the publication of this essay, written by an active and concerned member of the Society in collaboration with a small group, the majority of whom are also Quakers. We welcome the opportunity of putting before friends and others a sober and informed account of the position and feelings of some homosexual people in our midst. It need hardly be added that an essay which is so clearly written on behalf of a minority group does not purport to represent the view of the Society of Friends as a whole nor of the Social Responsibility Council in particular. However, this essay does represent both the spirit and the method in which we feel such a subject should be approached. In the first place it introduces candour to a subject where there is a history of concealment; and concealment, as we know, is a barrier to trust and thus to honest relationships between people. Secondly, as Friends who speak of "that of God in every man", we are invited to try and understand the problems of those who may not feel or act as the majority do and to try to meet the difficulties that such a minority group encounters. Friends are accustomed to the attempt to reach out in understanding to minority group, sometimes to people who are fundamentally anti-social. In this instance we should remember that the homosexual minority amongst us often give, from deep conviction, most valuable service to our Society and to mankind at large. We should ask ourselves whether they might not be able to contribute more if the underlying fears, so clearly shown in this essay, could be removed. We also record our sincere respect for David Blamires for putting his name to this essay; it is sad that this has to be labelled a courageous act. We commend this essay for careful study, and as a basis for frank discussion. We believe that apart from its value in itself, it gives us all the opportunity to examine our own attitudes, whether of love, tolerance, antagonism or prejudice and through our examination of those attitudes the better to understand ourselves. September 1972 Chris Barber, Chairman Leslie A. Smith, Secretary Introduction This essay has been written in the first place for members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Those who have contributed towards its being written hope that it will help Friends to understand better the situation of that minority of people, usually estimated at about five per cent of the population, who are homosexual. Since homosexuals, both male and female, are found in all walks of life, it is likely that of the 20,000 Quakers in Great Britain about one thousand will be homosexual. This fact alone should make Friends consider that they are able to do for this substantial group of people if, like most others, they need help in their spiritual and emotional lives. The burden guilt and repression which many may feel is a cause of great personal distress. It is not made any easier when some sections of the Christian community turn their backs on them unless they are prepared to suppress completely their affections for their own sex. The homosexual--at least in the Western world--grows up into a society in which he feels he does not properly belong. Despite the considerable coverage which the media give to homosexuality in plays, films and news items, there are still very many people who do not realize at all clearly what it means to be a homosexual and yet functions as an ordinary human being. Hence this essay. Although what follows has been written largely by one person, it represents the outcome of extensive discussion between homosexual and heterosexual Friends and others close to them. It has grown out of the concern of a small group of homosexual Friends that a new and responsible exposition might help to overcome some of the misunderstandings that are apparent. We hope that it may also be of relevance outside the confines of Quakerism. The time has now come for society to make a positive move towards accepting the homosexual as a person with a pattern of experience that is authentic as that of the heterosexual and that can be discussed and worked out with the same degree of rationality and understanding as is the case with the heterosexual. This is not the first time that Friends have attempted to make a contribution towards a contemporary understanding of homosexuality. In February 1963 the Home Service Committee of the Religious Society of Friends in Great Britain published an essay by a group of eleven Friends called Towards a Quaker View of Sex. This eighty-four page book immediately attracted a great deal of publicity. It was the subject of a television programme. It was quoted and misquoted in almost all the daily newspapers, as much as anything because here a group of people, explicitly identified with a part of the Christian Church, was prepared, after several years of study, discussion and prayer, to put forward an approach to sexuality--and in particular homosexuality--that was radically different from what had hitherto been expected from a Christian body. The authors of Towards a Quaker View of Sex started with a consideration of homosexuality because this was a specific matter on which their guidance had been sought. But the more they went into the question, the more they felt compelled to extend their investigation beyond this narrow section of the sexual spectrum. It may well have been this extension to sexual attitudes generally that caused disquiet among certain sections of the Society of Friends, but on the whole the publication of Towards a Quaker View of Sex was a liberation. It was widely read and discussed, perhaps less among Quakers than in society at large, and it is not an exaggeration to claim that it has played a significant part in the change of social attitudes towards homosexuality. Towards a Quaker View of Sex expressed the kind of approach to sexual relationships towards which many people, especially among the younger generation, had been striving for a long time. It refused to pass simple traditional judgements on such matters as extramarital sexual intercourse or homosexual relationships. Instead, it asked searching questions about the depth and tenderness of relationships, about caring for other people, about wholeness and integrity and about the exploitation of other people for one's own satisfaction. "Surely it is the nature and quality of a relationship that matters: one must not judge it by its outward appearance but by its inner worth. Homosexual affection can be as selfless as heterosexual affection, and therefore we cannot see that it is in some way morally worse" (Towards a Quaker View of Sex, p. 41). The authors were, quite rightly, not prepared to set up a precise moral code of what was permissible and what was not, but tried to provide a basis of judgement out of which the individual could develop an awareness of what was right in the particular situation in which he found himself. Its central chapter focussed on the issue of homosexuality, and there is a great deal of eminently good sense in what is written there. Since 1963, however, there have been major changes in the law relating to homosexuality which have made certain sections of Towards a Quaker View of Sex out of date. With the Sexual Offences Act of 1967, homosexual relations between two consenting males over the age of 21 in private no longer constitute a criminal offence in England and Wales. This provision does not apply to Scotland or Northern Ireland, and homosexual acts are still illegal in the Armed Forces and the Merchant Navy. But although the Sexual Offences Act has brought some change in the way in which homosexuals and homosexual behaviour are regarded by society at large, the peculiar situation in which the homosexual finds himself is still barely appreciated by the vast majority of heterosexuals. One disability under which Towards a Quaker View of Sex labours it the fact that it was written largely "from the outside", as was perhaps inevitable at the time when it was written. More than is the case now, homosexuality was then in large measure regarded as a "problem", especially morally, but also socially and medically. It was then the particular province of doctors, lawyers and the Church to pronounce judgement, on behalf of society, on people who were never thought of as "us" but always "them". The present study is, therefore, an attempt to remedy this lack in Towards a Quaker View of Sex and to provide some insight into what the homosexual himself or herself really feels and how differently the world looks from his or her particular angle. It is not an official Quaker view, but is intended as a contribution towards an ongoing discussion.

Phil Knutson Rollie Severson Doug Mose Kevin Maly It is difficult for the church as an institution to take first steps. There was a long time when Lutheran women could not be ordained. The first to be ordained is a dear friend of ours, Elizabeth Platz, Campus Pastor at the University of Maryland. This stole was originally given to Ted by Beth as a symbol of gratitude. We now pass it on in hope another first will occur. Now is the time for the ELCA to also ordain those gay and lesbian people who live in livelong committed partnerships.

Channing Joseph's book (to be released in 2023) presents the story of Swann, a queer community leader and resistor who had his own house and organized drag balls. People came to Swann's place to dance the cakewalk in contests much like the contemporary drag vogue dance depicted in the famous documentary Is Paris Burning? The queen's house was not just a residential space; it is a sacred space that offers refuge based on a moral system the queen dictates. Her drag ball takes on ritual proportions that heal, mesmerize and fascinate.

Title A name given to the resource Howard Solomon Subject The topic of the resource Queer Spirit Podcast Description An account of the resource Howard Solomon is an academic historian and community activist who, in an earlier life, served for over 30 years on the faculty of Tufts University and taught courses on European history, the history of sexuality, and the history of stereotyping. Howard has also been a scholar in residence at the Sampson Center for Diversity at the University of Southern Maine. Among other projects, he curated a traveling exhibition about Charlie Howard, the young gay man who was murdered in the early 1980’s in Bangor by three high-school boys, entitled “Twenty Years Later: How Far Has Maine Come?” He’s also spoken throughout Maine on antisemitism and continued to write, including an essay about the creation of Portland as a so-called “gay mecca.” Over the years Howard’s community engagements have included Merrymeeting Arts Center, the Maine Task Force on LGBT Youth, Maine Jewish Film Festival, Maine Initiatives, the Matlovitch Society, and the National Coalition Building Institute. In 2007 Equality Maine recognized Howard for being the remarkable queer treasure that he is by giving him a lifetime achievement award, which might give some folks the impression that Howard has slowed down or even entered his dotage. Not so, because Howard keeps shifting gears and in recent years has been devoting more time and energy to producing art, especially collage and found-object sculpture.

Title A name given to the resource Howard Solomon's acrylic and paper collage on canvas. Subject The topic of the resource Queer Spirit Podcast Description An account of the resource "If Not for Others, What Am I?" is 8" x 6", acrylic and paper collage on canvas by Howard Solomon. Solomon created it in 2018, along with two other pieces of the same dimensions and mediums, "If Not for Myself, Who Will Be for Me?" and "And If Not Now, When?" The three titles come from Rabbi Hillel's three questions, or admonitions: get yourself in order, align with others, act. For Howard Solomon, these are the distillation of Jewish ethics. They also parallel the principles which animate Solomon's taichi practice: get my breath and balance in order, become mindful of the space I'm in, begin.
