When did ONE Incorporated come into existence? Depends on who you ask. According to co-founder Dorr Legg: “October 15, 1952, in my home.” But fellow co-founder Martin Block cared to differ. #LGBTQHistoryMonth 🔊 https://t.co/kXVMU3lmkp

Phil Donahue RIP. One of the greats. In 1987, shortly after I told my grandmother I was gay (she was 84), she took me on a walk and explained that she watched the "Phil Donahue Show" so she knew that I couldn't change. It gave her comfort to know that Donahue was supportive.
