Larry,

while this was about alleged obscenity, the Supreme Court in One implicitly held that these protections apply to homosexuals just as much as heterosexuals, just as it would do so for privacy forty-five years later in Lawrence v. Texas.

W. Dorr Legg Legg was a Professor at Oregon State University from 1935-1942 and his personnel file recently became public under state law. While researching OSU history, I had fun reading it to see if there were any clues to why he had to resign (rumor says it was due to being homosexual). I posted several blog posts with images from Dorr's personnel file and pictures of where he lived in Corvallis, Oregon, which confirms the FBI file erroneously listed Dorr's address in Eugene, Oregon instead of the correct address in Corvallis, Oregon, home city of OSU (called Oregon State College when Dorr worked there). Note, you will get a Google objectionable content warning because my blog was attacked by Justin Bieber fans: Thomas Kraemer, "W. Dorr Legg OSU archives records 1935-1942," posted July 31, 2010 Thomas Kraemer, "FBI files on gay OSU professor 1956," posted July 7, 2011 Thomas Kraemer, "Gay Oregon Professor 1935," posted Dec. 16, 2006 Thomas Kraemer, "OSU W. Dorr Legg homosexual marriage 1953 vs. CA Prop 8 2010," posted Aug. 22, 1010

It’s time we all start uncovering our history in the community that we live in. For far to long we have focused on instant gratification dismissing the old man or women sitting next to us. They are the ones that hold our history. say hi to them and find out their history.

What a fascinating and immensely readable description of ONE Magazine’s trials and tribulations in the 1950s.

Obviously these brave people paved the way for my own writing. Without their struggle and commitment, I wouldn’t have the freedom to share my writing today. Thanks so very much for the article!

Dr. White,

Thank you very much for stopping by and offering an update on ONE’s history. And I very much look forward to seeing your book when it comes out.

Great article! Glad you found information of use on the Tangents website, and thank you for linking to it.

FYI, it is Eric Julber, not Jubler! and the ONE Archives you refer to at the end of the article is not really related to ONE, Incorporated. When ONE divided in 1965, 1/2 of it survived as ONE and 1/2 became the Homosexual Information Center, which became a tax exempt organization in 1968 and currently hosts the Tangents website. ONE, Inc. legally merged with ISHR in 1966 ( see http://www.ishrdbaone.org/). The ONE Archives is more properly remembered as the descendent of Jim Kepner’s International Gay and Lesbian Archives. The materials that were ONE Inc.’s original archives (formally known as the Blanche M. Baker Memorial Library) have been with HIC since the 1965 split and are now being archived at the Vern and Bonnie Bullough Collection on Human Sexuality at CSUN. (See http://library.csun.edu/Collections/SCA/SC/bullough.html )

Please look for my book on this history, titled Pre-Gay L.A.: A Social History of the Movement for Homosexual Rights, which is due out from the University of Illinois Press early in 2009. Also, CLAGS is soon to host a website at OutHistory.org, and the HIC is sponsoring a pre-gay module there.

Cheers! And again, thanks for a wonderful article on this important day in LGBT History.

Betty! We don’t want to forget about Frank Kameny!

Victor,

Thanks for stopping by with your note! I’m glad to see that ONE played such an important role for you. If I have anything to do with it, ONE will not be forgotten.
