He worked as a consultant on the documentary film ''[[The Times of Harvey Milk]]''.

In the late 1980s, Bérubé belonged to the Forget-Me-Nots, an affinity group that performed [[civil disobedience]] at the [[United States Supreme Court]] during the 1987 [[Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights]].<ref>{{cite web | access-date = December 6, 2022 | url = https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/c8mw2q1z/entire_text/ | website = Online Archive of California | title = Forget-Me-Nots records }}</ref>
 
In 1990, he published ''[[Coming Out Under Fire: (book)|ComingThe OutHistory Underof Fire]]Gay Men and Women in World War II'', which examined the stories of [[gay]] men and women in the U.S. military between 1941 and 1945. The book used interviews with gay veterans, government documents, and other sources to discuss the social and political issues that faced over 9,000 servicemen and women during World War II. The work had its origins in a chance discovery. In the 1970s, a friend of one of Bérubé’s neighbors discovered a batch of letters that a dozen gay military personnel had exchanged during World War II after meeting at a military base in Missouri. Bérubé turned them into the basis of years of research and a prize-winning book.,<ref name=nytobit/> Itafter presenting his work in progress "Marching to a Different Drummer" at more than a hundred venues.<ref name=weeks/> ''Coming Out Under Fire'' won the [[Lambda Literary Award]] for outstanding Gay Men's Nonfiction book of 1990<ref name=lambda>{{cite web| url=http://www.lambdaliterary.org/awards/previous_winners/paw_1988_1991.html |title=Lambda Literary Foundation, Award recipients 1988-1991 |publisher= |date= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070111073036/http://www.lambdaliterary.org/awards/previous_winners/paw_1988_1991.html|archive-date=January 11, 2007 }}</ref> Professional historians praised its research and the quality of Bérubé's prose.
