One Gay Man's Story: Scarey Labels and Pentecostal Altars


        This was around 1977 - 79.  

     It was during this time when Anita Bryant became famous for her anti-homosexual campaigns.

     Television broadcasts were just beginning to tip toe (on egg shells) through the topic "Homosexuality."  The TV show "Soap"  (the first TV show with a gay character) was first aired.  

     Preachers like Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, etc. hammered and hammered on the topic.

     I was 18 and 19 years old.
