00:00:01.340 - 00:00:23.590

Yeah. Yeah. The space had already been contracted for and it does not constitute a match so much a denial of space as a cancelation of space. Now the fair officials were fully aware of what we were going to do and why we're going to do it

00:00:23.590 - 00:00:44.420

and the kind of information that was going to be displayed. They accepted this information at face value, they accepted the money for the booth. And as yet that money has not been returned. The grounds for canceling the space uh, grounds given to us was that the

00:00:44.420 - 00:01:05.810

subject matter was too controversial? Well, I don't consider controversial subject matter in our free Society to be grounds enough for prohibiting a free discussion. And there are, after all, a great many other very controversial and very offensive to some people. A very offensive themes that are

00:01:05.810 - 00:01:20.790

going to be displayed at the fair For example, we were assigned originally the booth number 10. And right next door to it, there will be a booth by the planned parenthood group. Now there are a number of people in our society and particularly in some among

00:01:20.790 - 00:01:38.550

some religious groups, which would find this theme extremely offensive and terribly controversial. Doctor Why is it so important for you and your group to take this particular opportunity to pass out your information on homosexuality? Well after all, this is a theme which is where there's a

00:01:38.560 - 00:02:00.300

great deal of misinformation and an awful lot of just total lack of information. And it it does border on a very touchy theme of sexuality in general, as you well know, uh sexuality itself, despite the fact that Radio T. V. All kinds of of magazine, newspaper

00:02:00.300 - 00:02:19.370

publicity and so on, saturates our society with this theme. And nonetheless it seems to me where an anti sexual society, sir, do you think a state fair is the proper place to pass out information on homosexuality? Again? The proper place is any place where there are

00:02:19.370 - 00:02:36.560

large numbers of people who might well benefit from the kind of of correct information about homosexuality. And I don't see that the State Fair ought to be any exception to the rule here.
