This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers

to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question
with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Christopher Street (magazine)
Description	Cover of first issue of gay magazine Christopher Street, dated July 1, 1976.
Source	Presumably a much-reduced scan of the cover; it is certainly an accurate, reduced reproduction, but who made the scan seems to be lost in history (and irrelevant, since there is no copyrightable creativity in a reduced scan of a 2-dimensional document).
Article	Christopher Street (magazine)
Portion used	Only the cover.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	As an illustration for Christopher Street (magazine)
Replaceable?	There seems to be no way to illustrate a magazine without showing some of its content; since Christopher Street was founded in 1976, no issue would be old enough to be public domain. Picture of first issue seems a particularly appropriate illustration. The magazine is defunct (last issue was in 1995), so there is no obvious place to request explicit permission to use this.
Other information	An earlier version of this page summary refers (without context) to http://www.firstuucolumbus.org/sermons/ser20031130.PDF; my computer won't view it, so I don't know why this PDF was referenced. Might be where someone found the scan.
