A contract with a private facility in Fallon fell through when organizers were hit with an injunction to stop the rodeo from being held, two days before the event.

Two days in court, plus a trip to the Nevada Supreme Court failed to stop a homophobic DA who was behind the machinations.

Contestants who had horses on the restricted site were threatened at gun point and refused access to care for their horses.

It was a time of hysteria about AIDS. Blatant discrimination against gays was rampant. It was a shameful time for Nevada.
