CHAPTER

Introduction

This chapter delves into the life of Tom Amiano, a special education teacher in San Francisco in the late 1960s who wrestles with the challenge of balancing his professional life with his involvement in the gay community, all while facing the threats of being outed and the entrapment strategies of the police. It explores the struggles of living in a time when gay sex was illegal and the fear of losing one's career due to their sexual orientation.
