I had no idea! I drove to Ogunquit with my wife from the West coast back in 1977, beautiful, quaint, little town. Was it like that back then?
It’s only fairly recently that I first heard of the town.Who knows what was happening there back then. However,individuals like that were a lot less flamboyant then...so they might have been there in ‘77 but in hiding.
Oh,and BTW...Ogunquit is an easy drive from Boston,the largest city of The Gay State. That would explain its “summer resort” label.
