That makes me feel very young, for some reason. I can't imagine it. But I *do* remember the decriminalisation of homosexuality in my native country, which is just as bad. But then, I remember it partially because a whole bunch of people turned around and said "What, is that illegal then? Who knew?" which helped the media hype a bit - my generation seems to have thought the illegality was around public exposure, rather than gay sex, and it turned out it wasn't.
