The Quorum (magazine)

A Magazine of Friendship was the first British homosexual magazine, published in London in 1920 by "The Editorial Committee" of the British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology and the Order of Chaeronea.

Only one issue of the journal appeared because George Cecil Ives, an influential member of both organizations, feared the publicity that would accompany a journal and urged Gardner to cease publication.

The majority of the contributors were from the British homosexual movement; the best-known author was Dorothy L. Sayers, later famous for her detective novels, who contributed two poems, including a love poem called Veronica.

[2] Three copies of the edition are known to exist, one at the British Library, one at Cornell University, and one in the private collection of Raimondo Biffi.

Research on the history of The Quorum was done by Timothy d'Arch Smith in 1970 and 2001.
