Foreword
Homosexual civil rights in this country are only just now being recognized. That a citizen’s preference is outside the majority’s is a concept which in earlier days would have brought dunking and burning (Salem, Mass.) and imprisonment and economic and social ostracism (Hollywood, the McCarthy era of the late fifties). And through the sixties activists finally really began to speak out—en malle.
However, it took the seventies to finally enact legislation: Right to work, Right to marry, Consenting Adults (vis. sexual behavior), etc. And now we have the acceptance of the homosexual for employment law enforcement—with, of course, the outspoken opposition of a few diehard, tough-cop forties holdouts such as one notable from the Los Angeles area. This, although there have nearly always been informational liaisons between the homosexual community and the police. The city of San Francisco even employs a transsexual counselor (herself a transsexual) to deal with related problems which are too often not understood by the non-cognoscenti, which could potentially lead to law enforcement problem.
There is, however, an incredibly seamy side to police-homosexual relations, and this involves vice enforcement. It can, and does, involve entrapment, and that is the fictionalized point to be make here, in Under Cover, the story of young college-graduate police detective, Gary Bannon, who while assigned to entrapment duties, finds himself facing the double dilemma of a homosexual murderer and the startling revelation and self-realization that he is gay himself! He must maintain his closet to protect his job, but his motive is not selfish; he must find the murderer!
