Historical Calendar - January 13th

• 1958 - The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reverses three lower court rulings that an issue of One Magazine seized in Los Angeles (see October 1954) was obscene thereby protecting the right to publish material about homosexuality.
• 1983 - Zandra Rolon and Deborah Johnson are refused seating in a private booth by a posh Los Angeles restaurant. They are told that a city ordinance prohibits such seating, which is not true. They sue, and win, but the restaurant removes the section rather than seat gay or lesbian couples proclaiming, "True romantic dining died on this date."
• 1992 - Out Magazine begins publishing with a test issue. The first issue on the newstands was dated "Summer 1992."
