Arsonists spray 'FAG' at Lesbian and Gay Archives

Arsonists spray 'FAG' at Lesbian and Gay Archives

The word 'FAG' was scrawled on the floor of the Lesbian and Gay Archives by arsonists before they set fire to the premises. There was an upsurge in anti-gay activity during the campaign; bashings of gay men became more common.
