I'm not American nor am I familiar with its history, so I got a question.... Was homosexuality ever illegal in the US? I only got my resources from films and media but it seems like most of the queer films I've seen set in 1930s-1960s America punishes homosexuality... Like that film with Alan Turing or fellow travelers(Haven't seen this yet)... Was it really that scary to be gay in those times in the US? Was chemical castration really a punishment?
