Rampent Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ralph knew 'Jimmy' in the early days. I know it's awful but that vid is on repeat play. It's surreal. I JUST CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!! ---------- Post added 15-01-2014 at 20:16 ---------- Maybe it was crimes against fashion/style... have you seen his hair? rALPH IS PEvert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonTop Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ralph had a sickness that was dangerous and contagious....lol. Homosexuality is apparently something you can "catch" from someone else. And Jimmy was released "on probation" to his parents. Ahh...yes. Homosexual behavior was considered a crime against nature back then. Homosexuality was equated with pedophilia. It is laughable in retrospect but as several of you have already stated, 50 years from now people will look back at all sorts of things we consider progressive and ask "what were they thinking?!"

Harleyman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Came across this American public information film from the 50's on youtube, where boys are warned to be wary of strange men because they could be homosexuals (who have a sickness of the mind) on the look out for easy prey to have their wicked way with... I was shocked at first but on reflection it's a positive reminder of how much attitudes have changed in the last 50 years. Forever more I'll be petrified of bald men in sunglasses...watch it, it'll give you the best laugh of the day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otXIaIxkWTI As a kid of sixteen I was living down south in Sussex afer we moved from Sheffield. On Saturday afternoons me and three of my mates used to take the train to Brighton for a day at the seaside since there was little or nothingnto do on Saturdays in the town we lived in. There were a couple of old queens who used to take a train to Brighton that day also as Brighton had a gay presence even back then. On one or two occasions these two old queens happened to catch the same train at a station further down the line and they would prance up and down the platform looking in the carriage windows to see if there were any teenagers aboard before they got on. I remember on one occasion they spotted us and one of them tried to open the door while one of my mates held on tight to the inside handle. He gave up trying to get in and looked for a compartment somewhere else on the train. We had a good laugh over that one ---------- Post added 15-01-2014 at 22:09 ---------- Ralph had a sickness that was dangerous and contagious....lol.

Interesting though that so many public school boys were homosexual when they reached adulthood. Co-ed schools healthy. Boys and male teachers only unhealthy BTW Homosexuality was also a crime in Britain in the 1950s. The News of the World was full of spicy stories about clergymen and other middle aged men being busted for doing naughty things to young boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague_Boy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 But why was he put on probation? Was it a criminal offence in those days to be groomed? At the time (pre-1962) sodomy was a felony in every U.S. state, punished by a lengthy term of imprisonment and/or hard labor. It was illegal in the UK until 1967.
