Biographical / Historical
ONE Incorporated was founded in 1952; at least from 1956 onward, it was based in Los Angeles, California. Its name came from a quote by Thomas Carlyle: "A mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one." In 1956, it established the ONE Institute of Homophile Studies, which organized classes and annual conferences. The Institute also published ONE Institute Quarterly, a journal focused on the academic exploration of homosexuality.
