personal bch -vicr code, which if done will climiria’tc barriers of acceptance and in- tegraoion 5e.co society as a v;holc; further, the Society advocates that ii'ttcgration must bo rapproach.cd Tàth a. view to erasing trends for variants to establish invert societies of their om,

I:i its social action program, the Society hopes to aid in the revision of statutes mich regulate hume n behavior ndth a view to strongly supporting ènforobiop meni of Ians wiirch forbid (a) indecent .and lewd activities in publicj (b) sex'act­ivities betmon adults ..md minors, especially small children, and (c) use of force or violence botvicen any indiv5.duals Tfiatsoovcr. This program is to be accomplished along lines of cooperation vdth law enforcement agencies, officials, social welfare agencies and other orgcuiizations and in 'ividuals concemed vrith such problems.

5, The Society hopes to dis’'el false ideas about the sax variant in order to elim­inate discrimination, derision, prejudice and denial of civil rights. This is to bo done by»- the dissemination of accurate information about hioman behavior,

6. It hopes to instill in tho minority itself a desire to assume full responsi­bilities of citizenship and proper behavior,

7. It hopes to provide legal'aid where appropriate to insure all persons full rights to equal justice under the la-w, especially as related to sox offenses. In t’-iis connccticn, tho Society hopes bo lend its aid in exposing cases of extortion to proper authorities.

8, The Society’’ finally hopes to eventually’’ provide group therapy programs and professional p.;-y'ehi.''.tric o.oss-?i’taacG to aid ’the rehabili’batj.on ond adj'-’-.SL/mcnt of vari’ints and others am.th probi.; ras of emotional ins’tability . This is to be done tdth a view to rcdo.cing the high incidence of sox variation in future generations, and removing from crii,linai definition those activities tóiich, in tho minds of e:xpcrts, actually cause no h a m to our social order,
