I was in high school 1959 - 1963 and am trying to imagine what would have happened if any student announced that they were homosexual.
They probably would have been ridiculed on a regular basis and beaten on a semi regular basis. I am not saying that’s right but I do believe it would have happened.

I recall they were. Back then, "Queer" was not a "good" word. I agree that it was wrong of people to attack them, and we can get into the old standard parroting of "They must have been subliminally queer themselves, to feel so threatened by one."
I never hated them..Just thought they were silly and funny and..well..wrong.
