520 $aA portrait of prejudice begins with the 1955 murder of an eight-year-old boy in Iowa, and the arrest and conviction of a simpleminded salesman for the crime. Within months, public hysteria caused the police to arrest 20 middle-class gay men who were charged with being "sexual psychopaths," although none had anything to do with the murder, and who were incarcerated for prolonged periods of time in a state mental hospital.
