After the Second World War, great emphasis was placed on repopulation. The image of the heterosexual family was touted, and Western culture espoused the ideals of a strong father figure, a woman at home, and their two well-behaved children.

There was not really any place for homosexuality in this idealized image shown on TV, the movies, and advertisements. Despite the relative freedom they had begun to enjoy before the war, gays were singled out, and labeled perverts or predators.
