==== Sex deviates program ==== According to Douglas M. Charles, the FBI's "sex deviates" program began on April 10, 1950, when J. Edgar Hoover forwarded to the White House, to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, and to branches of the armed services a list of 393 alleged federal employees who had allegedly been arrested in Washington, D.C., since 1947, on charges of "sexual irregularities". On June 20, 1951, Hoover expanded the program by issuing a memo establishing a "uniform policy for the handling of the increasing number of reports and allegations concerning present and past employees of the United States Government who assertedly [sic] are sex deviates". The program was expanded to include non-government jobs. According to [[Athan Theoharis]], "In 1951 he [Hoover] had unilaterally instituted a Sex Deviates program to purge alleged homosexuals from any position in the federal government, from the lowliest clerk to the more powerful position of White house aide." On May 27, 1953, [[Executive Order 10450]] went into effect. The program was expanded further by this executive order by making all federal employment of homosexuals illegal. On July 8, 1953, the FBI forwarded to the U.S. Civil Service Commission information from the sex deviates program. Between 1977 and 1978, 300,000 pages in the sex deviates program, collected between 1930 and the mid-1970s, were destroyed by FBI officials.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/fbi-history/1950-1959 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204172602/http://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/fbi-history/1950-1959 |title=FBI and Homosexuality: 1950β1959 |archive-date=December 4, 2017 |website=OutHistory}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/fbi-history/1970-1979 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180605032719/http://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/fbi-history/1970-1979 |title=FBI and Homosexuality: 1970β1979 |archive-date=June 5, 2018 |website=OutHistory}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/fbi-history/2010-2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204171135/http://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/fbi-history/2010-2019 |title=FBI and Homosexuality: 2010β2019 |archive-date=December 4, 2017 |website=OutHistory}}</ref>
