The CIA spent seven decades moving from purging LGBT officers to embracing them—until the second Trump administration began undoing that work.

    Honesty, you can cover operation «Employment of Homosexuals and Other Sex Perverts in Government» under the lavender scare, so my apologies there.

    And I can’t find Curlee anywhere in that Wikipedia article. How is she responsible?

    Timeline. She was employed for direct security before, during, and after the OPM breach. One can conclude she was responsible for the negligence that lead to the breach. Shortly after, we (assume) are both well aware how Putin took care of the vulnerable assets.

      She was not employed for direct security. I don’t know how you’re blaming the OPM leak.

        In 2011, OPM for the first time outlined a process for gender transition in federal workplaces. In June 2013, one of the authors (Curlee) became the first transgender officer to successfully and openly transition at the CIA, with the support of CIA leadership.

          So you’re blaming the OPM leak on her coming out?

            Absolutely not!
            I am saying that while employed, after authoring the guidelines in OPM, the leak occured. If she was assigned a security position before and during the leak, she did a poor job of securing asset deaths. If she wasn’t assigned a security role whatsoever, then my point is weightless. It is amusing still.
