  • January 21 - Time magazine publishes an unsigned two-page article, "The Homosexual in America." The article includes statements such as "[Homosexuality] is a pathetic little second-rate substitute for reality, a pitiable flight from life. . . . it deserves no encouragement . . . no pretense that it is anything but a pernicious sickness." (Quoted in Eric Marcus, Making Gay History: The Half-century Fight for Lesbian and Gay Equal Rights (2002).
