    Yes, Billie Joe has come home. Getting off the street turns out to be easier than getting the street off of him. He has to learn to live with rules and schedules again, but that's the least of his troubles.
    Billie Joe's enemies find out he's being tested for AIDS. The word is out.
    The people Billie Joe has avoided, because they'd been found out, turn out to be his only friends. Billie Joe went in search of what it means to be gay. When he returns home he finds out what it's like to be labeled gay at school.
