37. The Lavender Scare

Queer Qulture

Dec 12 2021 • 1 hr 7 mins

Let us welcome Cory back into the real world, from the deep, insurance pit she has been living in! Which also means she is back to hosting after the three-part Hirschfeld saga! She is presenting the Lavender Scare, during the 1940s-1960s when the federal government was persecuting and firing for being gay their own employees in misplaced fear they were communists and tyrannists. So, the usual bullshit. Forget any preconceptions you have as we dive in together, because DAMN it's a wild messed up ride. On the bright side, we have some returning characters in this episode and in a happy coincidence we mentioned the same protest! Join us for some classic American Criticism that will cost us any sponsors and find out for sure if there's really an x-ray that can tell you if someone's gay.
