Young boys beware. He is a homosexual. (1950s video)

[Iroscato]

ROFL, I totally loled.

However, I didn't actually roll on the floor.

But did you at least physically laugh your arse off?

[Edwardo Piet]

Of course what do you take me for some sort of liar by omission?

This is insightful into WHY so many older people have such a difficult time accepting gay people. They were taught they were all pedophiles!

[Edwardo Piet]

I am pretty sure bigots just used that as an excuse to hate them still further.

I was trying to help a 12 Stepper (who in fact had served time for drug, tax, threatening the president, firearms, prostitution and pedo offenses) and his dad was such a jerk to me all I could figure out was he thought I was as legally screwed up as his son and he didn't want to be around me and/or me around his son.

I pretty quickly dropped his son and went and helped someone else, there is no shortage of people needing some help, and I shouldn't have to put up with undeserved attitude problems.

People go with what they were taught growing up barring subsequent learning/growth experiences.

It reminds me of this.

I remember a 60s driver ed film;

family gets ready for a picnic

family loads car

family sets out for fun day together at state park

dad driving along

(goes on for long enough we all are starting to get bored)

dad whips out to pass on a curve

and goes head-on with a big dump truck

EVERYBODY IS DEAD.


The end.

Curiously, even though I started school in '61, I have no recollection of 'Duck and Cover' or any kind of nuclear attack drill at all.

We had fire drills, 2 a year, all the way K-12, but I don't recall ever having a civil defense drill, or film, or presentation. We had an assembly when they built a nuclear power plant nearby, that was fun.

We had sonic booms quite a bit, window rattling, scare the crap out of the kids, make teacher scream sonic booms. I suppose it had a similar effect.

What Jimmy didn't know was that Ralph was sick. A sickness that was not visible like smallpox, but no less dangerous and contagious. A sickness of the mind. You see, Ralph was a homosexual.

What's that? The Gay™ is contagious? O noes!
