they feared discrimination.
In many places it was against the law and the discrimination was awful. Sometimes you still see and hear the discriminatory things from people. If someone did show they were gay they could have been beaten or killed. This also stills happens.
Not only was being gay a criminal offense that could get a person prison time; if you worked in the government and your sexual orientation was discovered, you could be immediately fired and ostracized. This happened a lot under the reign of Senator Joe McCarthy during the early 1950s-- his anti-Communist witch-hunt also included persecuting many people that he suspected of being gay. It should also be noted that in the 1950s, the public at large still believed that being gay was a choice, and that gay people were sexual predators: society feared that gay people would turn innocent kids gay, and that is why homosexuals and lesbians were subjected to so much punishment and stigmatization.
