      Inside the Military's LGBTQ Witch Hunt

      On weekends, Staff Sgt. Todd VanCantfort, an armed forces police officer in San Antonio, Texas, targeted gay bars in search of anyone in the military. One time, at the direction of his supervisor, he ditched his light blue and navy uniform to β€œdress gay.” He chose tight jeans, cowboy boots, and an open button-down shirt, advertising a burst of chest hair. It was 1985. San Antonio was dotted with several military installations and even more bars, many of them rowdy dance clubs where VanCantfort would break up fights or drive slurring servicemembers back to base.
