Since I’m old enough to vividly remember those days I can tell you that in 1965 with long hair and “Beatle boots” becoming popular there was a lot of “us against them”, 1950’s style haircuts and clothes vs. the British invasion and there was a lot of short hair’s vs longhairs. It was first implied that the victim of the prank was gay and now it’s progressed to assuming he was gay, thus the outrage. But if you really want to talk about bullying what about Obamacare being passed despite 70% of the populace being against it? Obama is still bullying after all these years.

Long hair in the 60s and 70s did not make one “gay” anymore than tatoos today make one a sailor or ex-con.
It was just following fads, nothing more and nothing less.
