Product Information
A conservative Presbyterian mother reaches out to the gay community for support after driving her homosexual son to suicide in this made-for-television movie adapted from Leroy Aaron's 1995 novel. Bobby Griffith (Ryan Kelley) hails from a devoutly Christian family. Lately Bobby's been questioning his own sexuality, and upon confiding this information to his older brother, the news quickly circulates to their parents and other siblings. While Bobby's father and siblings resolve to stand by him despite their opposition to his startling revelation, his mother Mary (Sigourney Weaver) believes that her son is committing a sin, and encourages him to change his ways with the help of the church. Despondent over his experiences in the church, Bobby decides that his best option is to move out of the family home, all the while hoping that his mother will find a means of accepting him for who he is. But Mary is staunch in her position, and when Bobby realizes he'll never live up to his mother's expectations he takes his own life. Devastated, Mary seeks consolation from her pastor but fails to find the answers she's looking for. In time, Mary begins a dialogue with the gay community, and discovers that sometimes support can come from the places we least expect.Product Identifiers

Anyone who is homophobic or who has homophobic family members may be helped by this film
This is a very well-scripted and acted film based on the true story of a woman who woke up one day to realize that her own homophobia, based on her Christian faith, drove her dear son Bobby to suicide. I am a heterosexual Christian who has at least two relatives who were born gay. I know them both closely enough and well enough to say that they were born that way. I am also aware of Jesus' own words in Matthew 19:12 which clearly indicate to me that some people are indeed born "different." Jesus knew some would not receive what he was saying. That is at the end of the very same verse. This film points out other passages (though not the one I just mentioned) which are interpreted very differently today by some Bible scholars--a way that allows one to love and accept rather than condemn. Mary found that out too late. Sigourney Weaver did a magnificent job playing the real Mary Griffith--and Mary Griffith is still alive today. I would just like to add that I grew up in a culture and family that was predisposed to homophobia and I too used to be homophobic, but I was more fortunate in that I knew it was because of fear (for me) rather than any sense of righteousness. I had to purposely face that fear in order to overcome it. I had done so before this film was made, but have high hopes that this film will help people to do just that--learn to face it and overcome it in the name of love for one's fellow humans if nothing else. I hope you will watch it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Entertaining and educational
This is a very good movie for multiple reasons. It's based on a true story and the actors portray their parts well. This is a great movie for young people just coming out as well as for parents and friends of someone who has recently come out as gay.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Prayers for Bobby , Great Movie
I like prayers for Bobby because I had the same issue with my mom but I told my mom to watch it with me and she says Chris this is how I've been acting as I know that Mom but anyways if you have gay people in your life please accept them, I don't want to be gay but I have no choice, I did never want to be with a female that's the God's honest truth, but please watch this movie for the gay people, Thanks, God Bless You,Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A learning experience for parents of children with sexual identity issues.
It is not entertaining. It is heart breaking. But it has important and very helpful for those who are struggling for the child and the parents with the issues pertaining to the issue for those struggling with sexual identity.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Quite adequate
It was a really good movie, yet heartbreaking. I was glad to see the mother's change of attitude after the death of her son, though it would have been better if it changed before he died.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
