Dear Ann Landers, read that two genetic researchers, Dr. J. Michael Bailey at Northwestern University in Illinois and Dr. Richard Pillard of the Boston University School of Medicine, have turned up some convincing evidence about homosexuality based on studies of identical twins. The results have established that genes may play a major role in whether a person is gay or straight. Since there is now scientific evidence that homosexuals are bom that way and their lifestyle is not something they choose, do you think peo-ple will be less hostile to and more tolerant of homosexuals? Please re-spond in the paper. This is a subject that a great many people are interested in and need to know more about. -Covina, Calif.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , “I adore lis-tening to him snore. It’s such a com-fort to know he’s right there beside me.” (That broad must sleep in the daytime.) For 24 years I have been married to a man who snores. If I turn on the light to look at him I’m sure the only thought that would come to my mind is murder. His snoring, under ordinary circumstances, is enough to shake the fixtures, but when he’s had a few drinks he makes such a racket the peo-ple in the next apartment bang on the floor with what must be a sledge ham-mer. Several years ago we took The City of San Francisco (a great train) to the west coast. The people in the next compartment knocked on our door and asked if I could do something to quiet my husband. I said, “Yes, but it’s against the law.” Last year our family doctor suggested either a sedative for me, ear-plugs or separate bedrooms. I am now using all three. Pass the word to my sister sufferers, Ann. PEACE ITS WONDERFUL
