    That sounds really hopeful. Where and when did the events covered in the book take place? Also, what was the name of the book?

      It’s the Lavender Scare by David K. Johnson. See if your library has it! It’s kinda expensive on Amazon. It takes place in Washington DC, in 1940s-60s.

      I read the hell out of that book and it’s one of the ones I continually have thought about since then. I had to keep checking the copyright page and years to make sure what was happening in 1954 and not a handful of decades later, lol.
