I'm in my early 50's, and knew 2 Vietnam era vets who were gay, but had to pretend to be straight back when being gay could literally get you put in prison. As a matter of fact, one of them was dishonorably discharged from the Marines for being gay, and did go to prison. Both had married women, and had kids.

I don't think Republicans are content with prison anymore. They want to make it punishable by death.

They probably don't care either way, as long as it makes the gay go away.

Except when it's someone they're related to. Or they like to hangout in rest stop bathrooms, themselves.
