Movie: Prayers for Bobby (Prayers for Bobby)

- Nobody can get to you pet. How to be perfect?
- I'm perfect? Do you really think so? Look in the mirror, there will be the fourth Charlie's angel.

To hide the truth - this is the same as standing on the edge of the cliff and look down at the breaking waves. I want to get rid of the body worships together with them. To fly? But it's scary: they are telephone lines and electrical wires. Crashing into them would be very painful. Will I ever be free?

- You think it's OK to interpret the Bible any way you want?
- No, of course not. But the Bible was written and interpreted by mortals. And many of those interpretations were reflections of the time in which they lived.
And you think that you are free to question it? In my opinion, is blasphemy.
- I don't think God is opposed to ask questions. He may not always delighted with our responses.

Blind faith is as dangerous as the lack of any faith.

I have no doubt that the Lord can handle it. He will help us. He will heal Bobby. So we were all together in the Kingdom of heaven, we cannot stray. We can't sing. That is a terrible sin. The Bible calls it an abomination. In Leviticus if a man lies with another man they should both be put to death. I will not allow my family was not together in the next life.
Mary, please, let's worry about this life before you worry about the following?

Homosexuality is a sin. Homosexuals are doomed to burn in hell forever. If they want to change, they can recover from their bad habits. If they turn away from temptation, they can again be normal. And they need to try harder, if not impossible.
All this I told my son, when he learned that he was gay. When he told me that he was gay, my world fell apart. I did everything in my power to cure him of this disease. Eight months ago my son jumped off a bridge and killed himself. I deeply regret that my lack of knowledge about gays and lesbians. I know that everything I was taught was bigotry and dehumanizing slander. If I tried to learn something besides what they told me, if I'd listened to my son when he opened his heart to me, I would not be standing before you today full of remorse. I believe the Lord was happy with a kind and loving soul Bobby. In God's eyes kindness and love are the most important. I didn't know that every time I repeated the words of the eternal curse for gays, every time I called Bobby a sick pervert and a threat to children, his dignity, his sense of self-worth destroyed. And finally, his spirit was broken so that it does not have to help. It was not God's will that Bobby climbed over the side of a freeway overpass and jumped directly into the wheels of long-range truck, which killed him instantly. Bobby's death was a direct result of his parents ' ignorance and fear of the word "gay." He wanted to be a writer. He wasn't supposed to lose their hopes and dreams, but he took them. There are children, like Bobby, they sit in your congregations, you don't know about them, and they're listening as you echo "Amen." And that will soon silence their prayers. Their prayers to the Lord for understanding, to be accepted, and your love. So... Before you echo "Amen" at home or in the Church, think. Think and remember: the child listens.

I sat there, listening to all their stories. About how they always knew their child is not like everyone else. And today I had a dream. Bobby was a baby. My son was always different. He was different from the moment of conception. I knew it. I could feel it. Now I know why God didn't heal Bobby. He didn't correct him because it was nothing to fix.

I called them fruits, and ferries. I didn't know. It took me a long time to accept my Sam. I think I always knew. That is, he asked for a pink shirt from Lacoste to your birthday. He was always different. And now he tells me that he's gay... what do I do? I take him hunting. And here he is in his pink Lacoste shirt, he saw a deer and yelled "Run, Bambi, run!"

- They're my friends. Now friends be a sin? We have fun, okay? We go together to the dance.
- They're gay, right? I thought you got better.
- When? When I looked unhappy? It looked like I got better? You're right, mom. I am doomed to roast in hell!
Don't say that!
But it says so in your Bible!
- The Bible says that people can change.
- I tried, mom! I can't!
- Why do you want it?
- How could I choose that? How could I prefer that my family hated me?
- No, we love you. Can't you see that's why we do so?
- Really, mom? Do when you love?

- I won't have a gay son.
- Then, mom, you don't have a son.
Fine.

Like children, take them all and remember: do your children hear you.
