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 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… a person who demands an intimate relationship with members of their own sex.
• He probably never realized until too late that he was riding in the shadow of death. But sometime that evening, Mike Merritt traded his life for a newspaper headline.
• Public restrooms can often be a hangout for the homosexual.
• So, no matter where you meet a stranger, be careful if they are too friendly if try to win your confidence too quickly and if they become overly personal. One never knows when the homosexual is about. He may appear normal, and it may be too late when you discover he is mentally ill. So keep with your group, and don't go off alone with strangers unless you have the permission of your parent or teacher.
