One, Inc., which took its name from Thomas Carlyle's statement that "A
mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one," was founded in LA in 1952
as a homophile organization with connections to the Mattachine Society. As
the first pro-gay journal of its kind, it serves as an important source for preStonewall homophile studies. In 1954 the US Post Office declared it
obscene, leading to a four-year legal battle (chronicled in its pages) that
concluded with a favorable decision as part of Roth vs. United States. Aside
from its articles covering topics ranging from the Beatniks and Gay
marriage to homosexuality and national security, One Magazine also
featured poetry and short fiction by numerous prominent authors.
