Answer:

A. Homosexuals were considered susceptible to blackmail and thought to be lacking the manly qualities necessary to fight communism, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The firing of homosexual government employees from the US government  was known as Lavender Scare. It was similar to the Second Red Scare. Homosexual men and women were considered to be community sympathizers and security risks. This term was popularized by David K. Johnson in his book The Lavender Scare.  Historians claim that there is more focus on Red Scare while studying the US history,but there is a lesser known element which was not known to people, It was the Lavender Scare.

Who was Josef Stalin before the ww2.like his background <br><br> Thanks
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:In 1912, Lenin, then in exile in Switzerland, appointed Joseph Stalin to serve on the first Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party. Three years later, in November 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia. The Soviet Union was founded in 1922, with Lenin as its first leader. During these years, Stalin had continued to move up the party ladder, and in 1922 he became secretary general of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, a role that enabled him to appoint his allies to government jobs and grow a base of political support.

After Lenin died in 1924, Stalin eventually outmaneuvered his rivals and won the power struggle for control of the Communist Party. By the late 1920s, he had become dictator of the Soviet Union.
