  • Friendship and Freedom, published from 1924 to 1925, was a short-lived American gay-interest newsletter published by the Chicago-based Society for Human Rights (SHR), the first recognized homosexual rights organization in the United States. Henry Gerber, founder of the Society for Human Rights, started publishing the newsletter using his personal typewriter. The purpose of the newsletter was to act as a forum of discussion among gay men. The first issue of the newsletter was published in 1924, and a total of only two issues were published. Friendship and Freedom was the first known gay-interest periodical in the United States. This periodical, along with Jim Kepner's and Lisa Ben's Vice Versa, is described by author of LGBT-issues James Thomas Sears as "amateurish". The title of the magazine, Friendship and Freedom, was directly translated from a 1920s German gay magazine, Freundschaft und Freiheit. In the 1920s, the United States was less accepting of LGBT people compared to contemporary Germany, where many gay rights organization flourished during this period. As a result, Gerber's room in a boardinghouse was raided by the Chicago Police Department in July 1925, and everything associated with the publication of the newsletter, including Gerber's typewriter and his personal diaries, were seized. Gerber was thrown into jail for three days and the news of his arrest was published in the contemporary press with the headlines, "Strange Sex Cult Exposed." All copies of Friendship and Freedom that were not in circulation were seized by the police and destroyed. No copy of Friendship and Freedom survives today. Despite lack of any existing copy, the existence of this publication was verified by American LGBT historian Jonathan Ned Katz through a photograph published by sexologist and LGBT-rights advocate Magnus Hirschfeld in 1927 depicting homosexual publications, among them Friendship and Freedom.

  • Friendship and Freedom, en español, «amistad y libertad», publicada entre 1924 y 1925,​ fue un boletín de temática gay de Estados Unidos​ de breve existencia,​ publicado por la Society for Human Rights (SHR) basada en Chicago, la primera organización de lucha por los derechos LGBT conocida en los Estados Unidos. Henry Gerber, fundador de la Society for Human Rights, inició la publicación del boletín empleando su máquina de escribir personal.​ El fin del boletín era actuar como foro de discusión entre hombres gais.​ El primer número fue publicado en 1924​​ y se publicaron un total de os números.​​​ Friendship and Freedom es la primera publicación periódica gay conocida de los Estados Unidos.​​​ Tanto este boletín, como de y Vice Versa de Lisa Ben, han sido descritos como «poco profesional» por el autor de temas LGBT James Thomas Sears.​ El título de la revista, Friendship and Freedom, era una traducción directa de la revista gay alemana de la década de 1920, Freundschaft und Freiheit.​ En la década de 1920, los Estados Unidos eran menos liberal que la Alemania contemporánea, en la que florecían muchas organizaciones que luchaban a favor de los derechos de los homosexuales. En consecuencia, la habitación de Gerber en la pensión fue asaltada por la policía de Chicago en julio de 1925 y todo lo asociado con la publicación del boletín, incluido la máquina de escribir de Gerber y sus diarios personales, fueron incautados. Gerber fue encarcelado durante tres días y la noticia de su arresto fue publicado en los medios de comunicación nacionales con grandes titulares, «Descubierto extraño culto sexual».​ Todas las copias de Friendship and Freedom que no estaban en circulación fueron incautados y destruidos.​ Ninguna copia de Friendship and Freedom ha sobrevivido el tiempo.​​ A pesar de la falta de copias físicas, la existencia de la publicación ha podido ser verificada por el historiador estadounidense de temas LGBT Jonathan Ned Katz gracias a fotografías publicadas por el sexólogo y activista homosexual Magnus Hirschfeld en 1927 mostrando publicaciones de tema homosexual, entre ellas Friendship and Freedom.​ (es)
