Even the Uned Stat Post Office tracked homoséxual packag, rerdg where they were livered. Gay tablishments were shut down by police and people were arrted and jailed for beg gay. In 1952, the first edn of the Diagnostic and Statistil Manual (DSM), which tailed mental health diseas regnized by the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn, listed homoséxualy as a mental disorr.

"Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" also placed unprecented power the hands of ary superrs, some of whom threatened to turn their female subordat as gay to erce séxual favors.
