>Most New Englanders have been fine with gay relationships for probably thirty or forty years.

I'm not sure if this is the case. It seems more like 20 years.

Yeah, I grew up in suburban Mass from the 70s to the 90s. I can assure you, at least at my school, gay people, but in particular, gay men, were the object of many jokes.

When I think about my childhood, warm and welcoming to gay people is not how I would have described my community.
