IRS has subjected gay groups to added scrutiny

The Internal Revenue Service applied greater scrutiny to the tax-status applications of LGBT organizations, starting in the 1970s and occurring as late as 1996, according to this article. 

In one case, an IRS official wrote to an organization focused on LGBT youth requesting that it "describe in detail the procedures and safeguards in place to assure that counselors and participants do not ... encourage the development of homosexual attitudes and propensities by minor individuals attending your programs."
