"I sympathize profoundly with the futile sufferings imposed on homosexuals by the law and public opinion. I have at various times expressed my disapproval of the laws against homosexuality but I am not prepared to make the change in the law a main purpose of my work and I think that, at the present time, the nuclear peril is more important. I think, also, that you greatly overestimate the effect that would follow from my vigorously taking up your cause."
