Lavender Scare Copy

 

You won’t admit it, but you are undeniably attracted to the same sex. Every night after work, you walk home through the park. Sometimes, other men like yourself are here, and sometimes they show interest in you. Tonight is one such night, and as you lean in for a kiss, you feel the cold steel of handcuffs on your wrists. It’s 1952 and America’s frozen stiff from: The Lavender Scare. 

 

Uncover the hysteria of the horror as we rewind the clocks and uncover a hidden history. The Lavender Scare is a new history and true crime podcast dedicated to the retelling of queer stories. Join us each week as we uncover the genesis of modern queer rights representation with episodes covering a range of historical events centered in the queer space. 

 

Like a magician revealing their secrets, we will pull away the curtain on this mostly unknown past. Written for general audiences, we welcome all listeners to tag along as we go deep on the various moments in queer history that have shaped modern political discourse.
