From the archives of the “queer Smithsonian,” San Francisco’s GLBT Historical Society, comes the forgotten history of a gay Korean War veteran tasked with writing the military discharges of outed gay seamen. The Typist details a conflicted clerk’s participation in discrimination and his divided allegiance to homosexuality and heroism. The Typist has toured in festivals internationally, inspired a feature length Buzzfeed article on LGBTQ military experiences, screened at the National Gallery of Art, and played on Alaska Airlines.
