LGBTQ rights in the US were awful. Sodomy was still illegal across much of the country, as was marriage between two people of the same gender. Blatant homophobia was rampant and dominated the culture. Coming out as gay could ruin someone's career, and coming out as trans was much less common than today, because most people spent their entire lives hiding who they were.
