Dear ONE illuminates the lives of ordinary queer Americans as recounted through letters written between 1953 and 1967, to L.A.'s ONE Magazine, the first openly gay and lesbian periodical in the United States. Looking for love, friendship, advice or understanding, readers wrote of loneliness and longing, of joy and fulfillment, and of their daily lives, hidden from history. This dramatic reading is adapted and directed by Zsa Zsa Gershick from material from ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives at the USC Libraries. The Library Foundation recently published an article about Dear ONE featuring interviews with author Craig Loftin and director Zsa Zsa Gershik. To read the full article, please click here.

The Classical Nude and the Making of Queer History
|
|
 George Platt Lynes, Nicholas Magallanes and Francisco Moncion in Balachines's Orpheus II, 1948. Gelatin silver print. Private Collection The Classical Nude and the Making of Queer History
Exhibition on view June 29 - September 7, 2014
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 28, 2014, 6-9pm
The Last Bastion: A Conversation with Amelia Jones & Jonathan D. Katz: Monday, June 30, 6:30-9:30pm ONE Archives Gallery & Museum 626 North Robertson Boulevard West Hollywood, CA 90069 Organized by the Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art and curated by scholar Jonathan David Katz, The Classical Nude and the Making of Queer History investigates the continued centrality of the classical nude over centuries of art making. The exhibition explores how images of the classical past have acted as recurring touchstones in the historical development of same-sex representation, and as such, constitute a sensitive barometer of the shifting constructions of what we today call gay and lesbian or queer culture. The classical past is thus gay culture's central origin myth, and its representation offers far more information about the culture that appropriates the classical past then it does about that past itself. In tracing this trajectory of the classical nude across history, this show concentrates on four major periods: Antiquity, the Renaissance, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the modern/ periods. RSVP to the June 28nd reception on Facebook here. For more info about The Last Bastion conversation click here.

Noted psychologist, Dr. Evelyn Hooker, speaks at ONE Incorporated. April 2, 1978. ONE Archives at the USC Libraries
"First of all, let me state that I do not regard homosexuality as a disease. I don't like to refer to this business of being cured. I never use it. I try to help each individual appreciate himself. I really think the major thing is to know thyself. It's the largest commandment I know. It means a terrific lot of exploring."
- Psychiatrist Dr. Blanche Baker at Midwinter Institute, 1955
Preserving the voices of our LGBTQ pioneers, ONE is proud to announce that over 150 audio recordings from ONE's collections have been digitized and are now available online via the USC Digital Library. From 1955 through the 1980s, ONE Incorporated held hundreds of public programs, such as its monthly speaker series and Midwinter Institutes, providing a forum for the LGBTQ community to discuss civil rights, education, police relations, religion, literature, culture, and LGBT experience. Thankfully, many of these talks were recorded by the organization's dedicated volunteers. Thanks in part to a generous grant from The GRAMMY Foundation®, nearly 200 hours of audio can now be streamed online, capturing the voices of LGBTQ pioneers like Harry Hay, Phyllis Lyon, Del Martin, Hal Call, and Antony Grey; and allies like Harry Benjamin, Evelyn Hooker, and Adele Starr.

ONE Archives would like to thank the Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, especially Sister Barb le-q, for their transfer of hundreds of photographs and documents from Glaze's apartment after his passing.
 In 2011, The Sisters bestowed "sainthood" onto Glaze, who was best known for his non-violent direct action against the Los Angeles Police Department after patrons at his bar, The Patch, were arrested. He confronted the police with flowers from a local florist, providing the local gay press with wonderful visuals of a dozen gay men approaching the police station with armfuls of flowers.
