Hi guys! I just came across this article from a online political magazine which is extremely relevant to today's class & readings. It dates the current tactic by Republics as well as "progressives" of slandering ones' opponent (by questioning their sexuality in tweet form) to the Lavender Scare. As someone who doesn't follow politicians' twitters, I was shocked to find that gayness continues to be used as an insult, and grounds for mistrust.
Let me know what you think,
