The Lavender Scare was a time in US history when q***r people were persecuted under suspicion that they were Communist sympathizers, spies, and national security risks. What created this moral panic? How did q***r people fight back? How does the legacy of the Lavender Scare affect q***r activism today? If you've ever wondered about this period in Q***r History, or if you just want to learn something new and talk about Q***r activism, then come out to this month's Q***ring Conversations: The Lavender Scare, in the Civic Media Center’s main room. This is a collaboration with the Pride Center for Pride Month.
