That said, there was crazy homophobia back then.

Yes, not to understate it. Though it was a few years earlier, Matthew Shepard's murder was prominent, and similar homophobic killings continued into the 2000s. Nightclub shootings took headlines this decade & the last, too. While parts of society seem more tolerant nowadays, regressive parts of society have hardly changed at all, so it's hard to gauge.
