👉 What was the Lavender Scare?
A parallel to McCarthyism, which sought to root out alleged communists, the Lavender Scare was fueled by the belief that LGBTQ+ individuals were a “security risk” and susceptible to blackmail. This resulted in systemic discrimination, unjust dismissals, and ruined lives.
📉 The Impact:
• Over 5,000 federal employees were fired or forced to resign.
• LGBTQ+ individuals faced social ostracism and invasive scrutiny.
• It perpetuated harmful stereotypes that lingered for decades.
🗣️ Who Fought Back?
Despite the climate of fear, activists like Frank Kameny, one of the first to openly fight for LGBTQ+ rights, laid the groundwork for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. His protests against federal policies marked a turning point in LGBTQ+ activism.
💡 Why It Matters Today:
The Lavender Scare reminds us of the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and underscores the importance of protecting LGBTQ+ rights in workplaces and beyond. It’s a stark example of how systemic discrimination can silence voices and limit opportunities.
✊ Let’s Learn & Remember
