How to Identify a Homosexual, According to a 1980 CIA Memo

In 1980, the CIA released a three-page memorandum on how to identify homosexuals during investigations in order to blackmail them. As you might have guessed, this CIA memo is hilarious.

So if you’re having trouble with your gaydar, don’t worry. The most brilliant criminal investigators in the United States have you covered.

The memo adds, “Very few employees come to work wearing eye makeup or ‘My Sin.’”
