Celebrating Pride Month - ONE magazine, first gay men's publication in the U.S.

 

ONE Inc., one of the first gay rights organizations, began publishing ONE magazine in January 1953, the first gay publication in the U.S. It sold in Los Angeles openly for a quarter, but in 1954 the US Post Office refused to continue delivering it because it was deemed to be 'obscene'.

ONE Inc. sued in federal court and won in 1958.




The magazine ceased publication in 1969.
