I have finished the book but before it ended I predicted that Beef was going to turn out gay. My first clue that he was gay was when Patrick had spoken about his boyfriend to Jason. He told him “That he had a hard family life” (Myracle 296). Beef is known for having a father who beat him. I was sure of my assumption when Beef’s girlfriend told Cat that she had found some matches in Beef’s coat from this place that is known for being a gay bar. Cat was blind at the moment how the dots were beginning to connect together to form Beef. Beef, Patrick’s boyfriend, turned out to be the one who harmed Patrick. Beef did not harm him because of their relationship it was because of the drugs in Beef system, so in the end it was not a hate crime.
