Gays in the Government
Description
An account of the resource
One of the biggest contributions that Washington D.C. made to the early LGBT movement was through attracting attention about the debate surrounding whether or not gay people should still be allowed to have government jobs, and security clearance for the government job sector. Because the America Psychiatric Society still acknowledged homosexuality as a mental illness in the 1950-1960s, they were susceptible to blackmail, which made them a security risk. Senator Joe McCarthy included homosexuals on the list of people who needed to be investigated by his Congressional subcommittee. McCarthy and his chief councilman, Roy Cohn, fired hundreds of LGBT people form the government, during what was called The Lavender Scare.
