Defense of Marriage Act

I graduated from high school in May 1975 and began my freshman year at college in August of that same year.  During the fall semester, the gay rights activists on campus set aside a day that they designated as “Gay Day.”  They put an announcement in the school newspaper that on Gay Day, anyone who was in support of gay rights should show their support by wearing jeans to class.  At that time, there were over 20,000 students attending classes at the university, and approximately 80 percent of them wore jeans to class every day.
