You mean if the hoax photo from seven years ago was actually a real photo taken prior to the 1960 election, right?
 
Before convention or election.

As the 50s had been relatively hushed up it would seem that he would have lost both, either Adlai Stevenson or Lyndon b Johnson win the convention or Nixon wins the election, either way I can see a withdrawal from Vietnam occurring faster and/or the creation of a dystopia for progressives or utopia for conservatives. No major anti-war protest means no sexual revolution, and while the black rights movement would have ended in success we would see no native Americans rights, feminist women's rights, or war on drugs.

In other words birth control and abortion would be looked down upon, the anti-catholic sentiment of the USA would still exist, but on the other sides blacks may be more successful and perhaps better economy?

While it is less likely that this would happen, I don't think it wouldn't happen. Maybe a few years from OTL.
Overall, many of these things weren't connected to Vietnam. Especially Anti-Catholicism. Most of that ended with WWII, American Catholics fighting alongside Protestants.

The sexual revolution seemed to sprout from anti-war protests

Anti-catholicism definetly dies out in WW2 but kennedy was a final nail in the coffin, if he's a pervert I could see a world of "the whore of babylon" arise

I'd say it's a contributing factor. If a person questions societal norms in one area, yes, they're more likely to do it in others.

I guess I would enjoy a longish "The Atlantic" magazine type of article, several bios or autobiographical mini-essays of different people who lived through the 60s, and then I guess a pie chart of the author's best judgment call of the major contributing factors.

The Pill around (?) 1960, the sheer demographics of a big baby boom generation, but then a spread of rebellious attitudes, definitely one factor.
