Yesterday I saw on TV the movie "Prayers for Bobby" in which Bobby had feelings for gay.
He had to tell his brother that he had those feelings and his brother swore that he would not tell their mother.
But his brother broke that promise and the mother made him a weary religious therapy and also threw them even with Bible texts to Bobby's head.
He could cry with his nowhere and his diary is the following:
"I can't ever let anyone find out that I'm not straight. It would be so humiliating. My friends would hate me. They might even want to beat me up. And my family? I've overheard them....They've said they hate gays, and even God hates gays, too. Gays are bad, and God sends bad people to hell. It really scares me when they talk that way because now they are talking about me."

Bobby comes from an American Christian family and shortly before his 20 th birthday, he committed suicide by jumping from a bridge.
That movie completely caught me and I had been crying because of the fact that this young man ended his life has been and he'd cry to his mother, was not answered.
In the film you can hear excerpts from his diary show that he is sinking quicksand.
The point of me not whether Bobby was gay, but rather the fact that his cries to the mother of "Listen to me" and "accept me for who I am," was not answered. He suffered under it and had nowhere to turn for help ...
The film is based on a true story and that's saying something and why that film has a message.
Such a mother must have known that his son is nosomewhere else and she did not even bother to listen to her son. Only 1 min no biblical texts into hurling and others things.
Now the son is gone, the mother suddenly realizes the emptiness in her house and the loss of her son.
It made me cry and angry that the mother was not lissening to his son.
What do you think?
