“It is the policy of the Chief of Police not to conduct liaison with any group which deliberately engages in criminal actions. In that the laws of the State of California proscribe the kind of activity which would characterize a person as a homosexual, your type of organization falls into the category wherein we do not conduct liaison activities.”
---Chief of Staff, office of the Chief of Police of Los Angeles, in a letter to the Gay Community Alliance, November 16, 1971
“one homosexual can pollute a government office” —U.S. Senate subcommittee report, 1950
