Ponyboy was very sensitive. I know that Ponyboy and Johnny were like brothers, but when they were up at the church at Windrixville -- there may have been some undertones of a crush going on. In the book anyway.

I always thought that too!
I think there were those types of undertones throughout the book.
I think Pony was crushing on Dallas too.

quoting Gary: How is bein gay like a lunch box?  How is it like getting gum stuck on the bottom of your shoe?

Lets see, a lunchbox and being gay is like you carry around what is important to you, what feeds you, and you keep it under wraps, in a sturdy metal container where it wil be safe.

Gum: It is like the  tarbaby analogy, being gay might be something you feel like you steped into and it is not desired and you can't get it off your shoe, it is down deep in the treads and everthing you take a step it is noticible to all those around you.

The Outsiders by SE Hinton

It is in the teenfic section usually of the bookstore. That woman wrote several very good books about teen boys.

any of her books are great. I liked Rumblefish the best myself but "That was then this is now" is a close second.

Rumblefish has a character in it that I just loved....and yeah now that I think about it, there are some undertones of gay attraction in several characters in her books.

the character is the older brother....I can't remember his name right off hand. I remember his description though and how his father said he had been born in the wrong time....that in another time he would be a prince..

I found a picture of the exact edition of The Outsiders I read as a kid!  Boy, I loved this book.  It was a coming-of-age kind of book, like A Separate Peace and To Kill a Mockingbird, also Catcher in the Rye.
