In a new documentary short, investigative journalist Michael Isikoff explores a dark and little-known chapter in America’s recent political history. For decades, the federal government ran what was known as its “sex deviates program.” The program targeted gays and lesbians and collected intelligence in order to purge them from the federal ranks. This went on for decades, and its painful legacy lives on to this day. Isikoff joins us Wednesday to discuss the U.S. government’s war on gays.
