Some of us remember "Kill a Queer for Christ" t-shirts. And then Anita Bryant talking about 10 year prison terms for gays. Keeping any gay mentioning measure off ballots at the time was job # 1.
Westboro wouldn't have been that far of the mark in '79. Wild in my lifetime it turned around and Westboro is an anachronism now. I recall ~1982 a gay friend had all the windows smashed in his car. We thought he was lucky to not have been killed at the time, and then later a friend of ours was killed in a drive by shooting at a gay bar.
