  • The big story from Issue 25 is back: The Happiness Club, a ‘friendship group’ that has resorted to threatening to out gay members unless they pay off its debts. The devastating arson attack on the UpStairs Lounge gay club in New Orleans is investigated (more info at Wikipedia). CHE and SMG have walked out of the National Federation of Homophile Organisations. Reviews include The World, The Flesh and Myself by Michael Davidson and Live and Let Die.

  • An abundance of news and subse­quently, a lack of space, has forced us to omitt John Gough’s feature on Hermaphroditism. It will now appear in GN 29. – page 19

  • Water my plants and I will water yours. I would like to hear from sensible, sober, responsible guys who are really interested in exotic greenhouse plants and who would care for them when I am away. Brentford, Hounslow, Ealing, Richmond area or near. Box 28/51 – page 18. This is clearly code for something, but what?
