I don't care myself what 2 gays want to do. If they want to have sex, marry or put on a gay porno show. It doesn't effect my life at all.
"The Gender element stores an indicator of the gender that the media content targets. Example values for populating the Gender element may include: Unknown, All, Male, Female, Male_Homosexual, Female_Homosexual, and Other."
If anything, people seemed to be more tolerant of gays back in the 1970s than now.
If you can't figure out I was kidding, in a way, you need an earlier bedtime.
The "in a way" pertains to the following. In the 1970's the gay rights movement was just getting organized in the cities, it hadn't even hit the rural areas. Most gays were deeply closeted with many passing as straight. If you think there was more tolerance of that lifestyle 30 years ago you either don't read much history or have a skewed outlook.

There are people who are stupid enough to say something like that seriously. If you don't know that, you don't get around much.

You're right about gays not being organized everywhere, but nature's message also has a point that the organized anti-gay movement per se wasn't around yet either. That started with Anita Bryant's crap in the late 70s and got a boost from the AIDS crisis in the 80s. It probably took another decade or so before gays got back to the point they were at in the mid-70s, although there's been an almost geometric level of progress since then.
