Reseña del libro "Outed: Lbj's Confidant and the Arrest That Transformed a Presidency (en Inglés)"

The story of the scandal in the LBJ administration that first brought queer life into the national political conversation in the 1960s. In 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson's longest-serving and most trusted advisor, Walter Jenkins, was arrested for soliciting sex in a YMCA bathroom near the White House. The scandal blasted across the front pages of major US newspapers, was dissected and analyzed by the FBI, and became a watershed in making straight America aware of queer life. In Outed, historian Timothy Stewart-Winter reveals that the effects of antigay policing were felt not only by the men but by their colleagues, families, and, in this case, the First Family. Walter Jenkins's political banishment had long-ranging effects, from how Johnson conducted the remainder of his presidency to how media coverage of political and sexual scandals became more explicit and salacious. Stewart-Winter reveals Jenkins's influence and legacy, encompassing but also looking beyond the scandal. Jenkins had a significant impact on Johnson's career and how it is remembered, including both his signal accomplishment--the programs and laws that constituted the Great Society--and his signal failure: his catastrophic judgment, after Jenkins's exile, regarding the Vietnam War. Drawing on Jenkins's previously unexamined personal papers, including hundreds of letters he received in the aftermath from ordinary Americans and government officials alike, Stewart-Winter shows how anti-gay policies and the revelations around them continue to reverberate today.
