The ONE to remember

Octavio Roca was kind enough to point out the following article in the July 15 issue of JSTOR (short for Journal Storage), a digital library founded in 1995: "ONE: The First Gay Magazine in the United States." Founded in 1952, the magazine was published by ONE, the first gay rights organization in the United States. Some of you will recall Lillian Faderman's discussion of the group and the magazine in her magisterial The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle, which we discussed in 2018 and 2019 (we read chapters from it on third Wednesdays). But the JSTOR article not only contains lots of details to supplement Faderman's account, but ends with a very helpful reading list.
