THE GAY-DETECTG F MACHE
In the 1960s, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) attempted to e a slightly more scientific, though equally flawed, approach- a mache to tect if a person was gay or not. This was an attempt to elimate homosexuals om the Canadian ary, police and civil service.
Takg the lead om the Uned Stat’ McCarthyism, the Canadian ernment nsired all homosexual public servants to be a threat to natnal secury for var absurd reasons. In orr to al wh the “secury threats” posed by gay people, a special team the RCMP was formed. Sectn A-3’s sole missn was to intify and dismiss om service every homosexual workg for the Canadian ernment.
Intified homosexuals were immediately fired or forced to rign. If the subject’s pupils dilated when beg shown erotic photos of people of the same genr, s/he was assumed to be homosexual. For stance, another tt n by the RCMP clud monorg subjects’ physlogil rpons to specific words such as queer, gay, drag and even bar.
