"Ralph is sick, not a sickness that you can see like small pox but a sickness of the mind. Ralph is a homosexual." WOW! No wonder the world is as screwed up as it is today. This "educational" film was shown in classrooms across the country during the 1960's and possibly for the next 20 or 30 years. It would explain some of the hate and fear of the gay community and a fear for the gay individual during that time period. Watching this film today, one just can sit back and laugh at it how it portrays a gay man as "sick". and how you must avoid them at all costs.Although some of the points in the film still ring true today, such as to not go in a strangers car or to not take an unfamiliar "short cut" home. One tends to wonder what the world might have been like had we treated the gay community back then as we do now. But with all the conflict of gay marriage today. It might not have been any different.
