Interesting. I had always understood McCarthyism as only the red scare, and I assumed it was how it was always used.

I would argue it is not McCarthyism. McCarthyism would he specifically using people's political ideologies as a metric, whereas sexuality is a personal private thing that would have absolutely no effect on the ability to do a job. At least McCarthyism has some way to claim that "commie" is actively working against the interests of the US.

LPT: if your dog is being playful and you need to catch them, try running away to have them chase and catch you.
