The Lavender Scare: Fired for Being Gay and Lesbian

At the height of Cold War paranoia, the U.S. government launched a covert campaign not just against communists—but against its own LGBTQ+ citizens. This episode of American Scandal Report, hosted by Oz Dalton, uncovers the untold truth behind The Lavender Scare, a government-led purge of gay and lesbian Americans from federal jobs under the guise of national security.

From secret surveillance to forced resignations and whispers of "sexual perversion" at the highest levels of politics, the Lavender Scare rivaled McCarthyism in scale and devastation—but remained buried in history. Through gripping storytelling and real case accounts, this AI-powered podcast by Skoob reveals how fear, censorship, and political strategy reshaped American civil rights—and how television, media, and law became tools of silent oppression.

Powered by Skoob, the ultimate AI podcast platform, American Scandal Report delivers focused, fast-paced episodes built for listeners who demand truth without fluff. Designed as a short podcast, it blends history, politics, identity, and conspiracy into an unforgettable US podcast experience.
