It was pretty normal in the 80s.

I've not been to a gay bar in forever, but I'm sure it's the same.

Not so sure that they'd get beaten to a pulp though. One time at an old gay bar in Charlotte, a bunch of rednecks came by on a summer night when many of us were outside for whatever reason. They shouted the usual names.

The second time they drove by, one of the drag queens pulled a handgun from her purse and gave chase. You should have seen the rednecks take off; I've never forgotten it. We laughed ourselves silly.
