  5. Three names when institutions show their seams: Frank O'Hara wrote 500 poems on lunch napkins in a city with laws against him. Radclyffe Hall's banned lesbian novel outlived every magistrate. Gertrude Stein listened to herself. The work survives.

  7. November 16, 1928 - An obscenity trial began for Radclyffe Hall's novel, "The Well of Loneliness." Great Britain banned it for its treatment of lesbianism, though it contained no explicit sexual references.

    A U.S. court in 1929 ruled similarly, for its sympathetic portrait of homosexuality, and because it "pleads for tolerance on the part of society."
