Summary: Contentious Sculpture Attacked (Press, 10 March 1984)
On 10 March 1984, a vandal attacked a controversial sculpture at Stanford University, causing significant damage. The artwork, which features two homosexual couples—one male and one female—with their arms around each other, suffered an estimated $50,000 in repairs after being struck with a hammer. Police reported the incident, highlighting the sculpture's contentious nature. The bronze piece was initially intended for San Francisco, known for its prominent homosexual community, but was lent to Stanford while city officials deliberated on whether to accept the donation.
