Talkback

Submit your thoughts on THE GREAT PINK SCARE.

We invite you to respond to the questions below or add your comments. Selected submissions will be posted on our Talkback page, so check back regularly and join the discussion.
  • THE GREAT PINK SCARE evokes a period described as “sexual McCarthyism.” Do you see links between that era’s invasion of privacy and the legal climate today?

  • Filmmaker Tug Yourgrau says he hopes that his film will “make people more aware of the devastation and trauma that unjust laws and ignorance caused so many gay men and women before Stonewall and gay liberation.” Do you think this film achieves this goal? Did you learn something you didn’t know by watching it?

  • In 1960, a bill was passed that allowed the Postal Service "to seize and detail the mail of anyone suspected of trafficking in obscenity." How much, if any, participation should the United States Postal Service have in censoring the mail today?
