Gay Rights Suit Against Magazines Is Dismissed
A suit by Christopher Street West Assn., a gay and lesbian rights organization, charging that three national news magazines conspired for nine years to refuse all advertising from homosexuals or their associations has been dismissed by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Norman Dowds.
In his ruling last week, Dowds agreed with the defendants--including Time, Newsweek, and U.S News and World Report--that they had a First Amendment right to refuse or accept any advertisement.
