Rating: It was amazing!


Bobby, a teen who was raised in a Christian family, attending church every weekend with them, soon tells his family one of his biggest secrets that has been eating away at him. That he dreamed of men but not women. His mother tried her best to convert him to being straight, but accomplished nothing. Approving nothing, sill not beliving that he was gay, not accepting.

Bobby moved away to his cousin, then falling in love with David.
His life was going upside down as his mother denied him as a son, and he figured out that his boyfriend was cheating on him, having no one to talk to, his life seeming to be at its peak, looking like it was never goign to get better, he killed himself by jumping off a bridge.

I thought this movie was very good. About a christian mother who learned to late that there was nothing wrong with her son, that god did not heal him becasue nothing needed to be healed. He was still good, trying to do the best he could.
So shee now tries to help other gays, telling them that someone is out there for them, that its okay to be themselves.

I think this story has a very big point to it, and just pulls at your heart. Just thinking about it, my heart feels like its going to burst.
