Description

March 30 Toronto The first issue of the magazine Gay appeared. Published by the Gay Publishing Company, 122 Wellington Street W., it was one of the earliest periodicals to use the word "gay" in its title. Gay was a tabloid containing general articles on homosexuality (some reprinted from American homophile publications), fiction, photos, local gossip, jokes and cartoons, and personal ads. It was renamed Gay International with issue twelve (January 1965), and moved to 980 Queen Street E. It probably ceased publication after issue fifteen (about July 1965).
