Vintage Homophobia: Boys Beware


Click the link to see a homophobic gem of a PSA produced by the Inglewood, CA police department in 1961.

Mixed in among useful tips such as "don't hitchhike" and "stay with your friends" are the following nuggets of information you may not have been aware of:

1. All homosexuals are not passive, some resort to violence.

2. Public restrooms can often be a hangout for the homosexual.

3. Homosexuality is a dangerous and contagious sickness of the mind.

4. 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.
