#Trump’s #AntiTrans policies mirror the #LavenderScare, when thousands of #LGBTQ+ #federal employees were purged from the government (the 1940s-60s). Fueled by #McCarthyism and #MoralPanic, it destroyed careers and lives, leading to suicides but also sparking a civil rights movement. Now, Trump bans #trans people from the #military, rolls back #healthcare, and fuels fear for political gain, echoing history’s worst #injustices.

Today in Labor History June 15, 1950: As part of their Cold War hysteria, the Senate opened an investigation of 3,500 alleged "sex perverts" (i.e., homosexuals) in the federal government, somehow overlooking their cross-dressing darling in the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover.
