Martin Duberman called it: Bérubé in later years liked to recall that Doris Kearns Goodwin called the book "remarkably evenhanded", as if it were surprising he could be committed to both scholarship and political activism. It was adapted as a film in 1994, narrated by Salome Jens and Max Cole, with a screenplay by Bérubé and the film's director, Arthur Dong. The film received a Peabody Award for excellence in documentary media in 1995. Because he was gay, he was not allowed to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee when it held hearings on the exclusion of homosexuals from the U.S. military in 1993. He provided Senator Edward Kennedy with questions to pose at those hearings and submitted as written testimony a paper titled "Historical Overview of the Origins of the Military's Ban on Homosexuals". In the documentary film Over Our Dead Bodies (1991) by video artist Stuart Marshall, he is interviewed along with Michael Callen and others on the development of AIDS activism. He held several teaching positions in the 1990s. He taught at Stanford University in Fall 1991, the University of California at Santa Cruz in Winter 1991 and Spring 1992, Portland State University (Oregon) in Summer Session 1994, and the New School for Social Research in Fall 1996. Bérubé received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1996. He received a Rockefeller grant from the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in 1994 to research a book on the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union, which was left unfinished when he died. As part of his research, he created No Red-Baiting! No Race-Baiting! No Queen-Baiting!, a 90-minute illustrated talk on the left-wing, multi-racial, and gay-friendly union. In the 1990s he also shared his expertise on gay life with the creators of several documentaries, including: The Question of Equality (1994), a documentary television series of four one-hour films funded by Independent Television Service; Out At Work (1996), a documentary film by Tami Gold; Licensed to Kill (1995), a documentary film by Arthur Dong; and The Castro (1997), a documentary film produced by KQED San Francisco. Bérubé curated the U.S. section of "Goodbye to Berlin? Hundert Jahre Schwulenbewegung", an exhibition on the history of the gay rights movement presented at the Berlin Academy of the Arts in 1997.
