The Lavender Scare was a period of a systematic campaign to identify and purge individuals in the LGBTQ+ community who held a government position. This period happened in the United States in the 1950s which gave a parallel to the Red Scare as they aimed to purge or root out communist individuals. The main themes discussed in Lavender Scare were: discrimination towards the LGBTQ+ community, invasion of privacy, impact on the individual's career as many lost their job, and finally, complex political dynamics of inequality and injustice towards LGBTQ+ as they thought they were more susceptible to the idea of communism.
