The majority of the country did not and there was no political correctness then so people didn't have to hide it

People talk shit on every message board, the folks on the post dispatch message board are a special kind of morons and I rarely go there. But overall I doubt if same has any problems in St.Louis, unlike the surrounding area St Louis is extremely liberal, on pride weekend a few weeks ago our mayor married 4 same-sex couples in a direct challenge to the statewide ban.
