Hoover’s War on Gays: Exposing the FBI’s “Sex Deviates” Program

At its peak, J. Edgar Hoover’s notorious “Sex Deviates” file encompassed nearly more than 330,000 pages of information.

In 1977-1978, these files were destroyed, and four decades of the FBI’s dirty secrets went up in smoke. Join noted history professor and author Douglas M. Charles as he fills in blanks of the bureau’s invasive, systematic interest in the lives of gay and lesbian Americans through a remarkable feat of investigative research, synthesis and scholarly detective work.
