This movie is a homophobic transphobic and pedophobic strawman of a film.
Don't watch it!

Some have claimed that this ten minute film is basically the anti-gay propaganda equivalent of Reefer Madness, but Reefer Madness was consistently entertaining in an unintentionally campy way, whereas Boys Beware is bland for the most part. According to this awful "educational" short film, being gay is the equivalent of being a child molester or being mentally ill, which is insulting and cruel. This idiotic mess of a film makes the exploitation films of the 30's and 40's look sane in comparision, because even they didn't make as outrageous of claims (And at least most of those were entertaining as camp value), nor was even entertaining like the unintentionally funny Christian propaganda film Rock: It's Your Decision. As a gay person, was I offended by it? Partly, yes. However, I mostly brushed off this nonsensical mess, and had it been a longer film, perhaps I would have been able to salvage it for camp value. But alas, it is far too short and also generally boring. This is mostly a crappy novelty of paranoia and stupidity of yesteryear that is nowhere near as entertaining as other trashy propaganda films. This should have just tried to be anti-pedophelia, but instead, it decided to lump gay people into the same category, making for a stupid, slightly offensive film. It might be worth seeing once, but there's not much to it, unfortunately.

Booklover11's Mini Reviews: Oh my god, spotting this on the internet for the first time, I couldn't believe it, but it's true. It's a late 50's, early 60's propaganda film focusing on... Homosexuality... Yeah, you know this sucks now. It shows Homosexuals as "Horrible" and "Vicious", which really shows the horrible aging of this 2 minute short. It slanders Homosexuals to the point of criminals, which is clearly not the case. I mean, imagine the offensive nature this would encounter today! This is said to be the most controversial shorts of all time, and I have to agree. The ONLY way I would hate this short even more is if they replaced the main Homosexual with an African-American, other than that, there's no way I can hate this short even more than I already do. It's aged, it's offensive, the facts are not even close to relevant, even back then, and worst of all, this just shows the complete hatred of this kind of people back in that time. PEOPLE GOT JAILED FOR THIS STUFF, PEOPLE! This short is actually sort of historic for showing us the hatred for Homosexuals, but for all the wrong reasons. By far, the worst piece of commercialism I've ever seen. Not recommended to anyone at all. 0 Stars.
