I think there were 4 out of 800 in my HS Class of 1972, but they kept to themselves. Smart move on their part, and I doubt anyone bothered them. Maybe a snicker or two.
I was way ahead of 72, I often look back and think about it. It was the same area as this one I honestly do not remember even talking about it, growing up. That was when we would still drive across the Bay and have a Family day in the Beautiful town of San Francisco. Graduated class of 61.Life is very different, very very sad.
I graduated in the same year, 1972, just about the same class size as well. There were 2 kids, one guy and one girl, who everyone pretty much suspected, and over the years they did come out. In the case of the guy, not only did he never get threatened, he was a very popular kid. In the case of the girl, I don’t think anyone really dared pick on her. LOL! That’s another thing, really butch girls can become bullies themselves. I’ve seen it.
