The homosexual smear was the first serious attack on McCarthy. It came from the Las Vegas Sun in 1952. The publisher, Hank Greenspun wrote that it was "common talk" in Milwaukee that McCarthy engaged in homosexual acts. That same year, the Las Vegas Republican Woman's club hosted a torch light parade for McCarthy down Fremont Street (Glitter Gulch).
