00:34:38Hi Bobby!
00:34:48I'm glad I left Walnut Creek.
00:34:54I feel like a new life, a new day is beginning.
00:34:58And I will do everything to make it a success.
00:35:01My goal is to achieve a feeling of pride and dignity in being a human being.
00:35:16Nice cousin!
00:35:18Welcome to Portland.
00:35:42Trust me, you'll have a hard time finding boxes like this in your home.
00:35:46We'll see about that.
00:35:46Welcome to Wonderland.
00:36:01It's incredible.
00:36:02Come on, come dance.
00:36:03David!
00:36:26This is my cousin, Bobby.
00:36:35So you're the famous Bobby.
00:36:36This is my cousin.
00:36:37OK!
00:36:37This is my cousin.
00:36:50This is my cousin.
00:36:52This is my cousin.
00:36:54Janette told me that your mother wanted to cure you of your homosexuality.
00:37:14Yeah, that's true.
00:37:15My parents find it hard to understand.
00:37:17And yours?
00:37:19Same at first, but they eventually accepted.
00:37:22What made them change?
00:37:24One day I told them to accept me as I am, or we'll stop there.
00:37:32I know my mother means well, but I'm not sure she'll ever accept me.
00:37:41Above all, don't give up.
00:37:50What every parent needs to know about homosexuality.
00:37:54Have a good trip, come back safely.
00:38:23Don't let it get you down.
00:38:27And don't be afraid to stand up to him.
00:38:29Give it to me, it's too short.
00:38:50I'll call you when I arrive.
00:38:52I hope.
00:38:53Wow, what a surprise.
00:39:00Come here, come here.
00:39:03Just in time for dinner, go ahead.
00:39:06Very funny.
00:39:07Thank you so much.
00:39:08What was it like in Portland?
00:39:10Portland is awesome.
00:39:12Well, that's good.
00:39:13I'm actually thinking of moving there for a while.
00:39:17Settle in there?
00:39:18I met someone.
00:39:20A boy.
00:39:25Girls, you...
00:39:30You come to give me a hand.
00:39:35We're supposed to act like we didn't hear anything.
00:39:37Yeah.
00:39:38Bobby, I'm not sure this was the right time.
00:39:42I know.
00:39:44Sorry.
00:39:44You should think about getting your equivalencies to enroll in college.
00:39:54No, because you don't have the right to a few months off, but if it lasts too long...
00:39:57Did you hear what I said?
00:39:58I don't want to know.
00:39:59But I want you to know.
00:40:02His name is David.
00:40:03We've had this conversation a hundred times before.
00:40:05If it's just to go on and on, we might as well avoid the subject.
00:40:08When I'm with him, I feel so good.
00:40:11He is nice to me.
00:40:14He is funny and intelligent.
00:40:16I'm not interested.
00:40:17I don't want to hear that.
00:40:18You know it, so shut up.
00:40:20I've been listening to you for a year.
00:40:21Now, will you listen to me for once, please?
00:40:24I feel good when I'm with David.
00:40:26But if he ever touches me in public, or even worse, kisses me,
00:40:31I don't know where to put myself anymore.
00:40:33I am ashamed.
00:40:34Because you know it's wrong.
00:40:35Because you told me it was wrong.
00:40:37It's not me.
00:40:38This is the Bible.
00:40:39This is not the Bible.
00:40:40It's you.
00:40:41Why don't you want to acknowledge it?
00:40:43Why don't you want to admit that you hate what I am?
00:40:46What you've become, Bobby.
00:40:48What I am, Mom.
00:40:50I'm sorry I'm not the perfect little Bobby you always dreamed of,
00:40:54but I'm not going to spend my life asking you for forgiveness for this.
00:40:56Accept me as I am or we'll stop here.
00:40:59I don't want a son, Kay.
00:41:02In that case, Mom, you don't have a son.
00:41:05Alright.
00:41:05Alright.
00:41:11Bobby.
00:41:26You should have known she wouldn't change.
00:41:32She thought so.
00:41:36She meant what she said.
00:41:37I want you to be happy, I really do.
00:41:45I'm sure this boy is very nice.
00:41:49But tell yourself that she will never accept it.
00:41:53It's going to be a lonely life because she'll never open her door to him.
00:41:57Neither at Christmas nor at Thanksgiving.
00:41:59Never.
00:41:59Don't worry too much about Mom, she'll get used to it.
00:42:14I don't count on it too much.
00:42:17Here, this is for you.
00:42:20Your paratrooper pants?
00:42:24Oh, thank you.
00:42:25THANKS.
00:42:25THANKS.
00:42:29I'll send you my first novel as soon as I've written it.
00:42:35Goodbye, Bexy.
00:42:38Be careful.
00:42:41Be careful.
00:42:59Subtitling Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
00:43:38Most of the newly discovered cases appear to be concentrated in the gay community
00:43:44and AIDS begins to be known as the gay disease
00:43:47Your mother did a great job for your birthday.
00:44:05No map, a sweater and AIDS, the wrath of God
00:44:11Happy birthday
00:44:14I don't think you should expect anything else from him, Bobby.
00:44:17She's not going to change
00:44:19Birthdays have always been important to us.
00:44:22The only thing is, there's no more us.
00:44:25I'm having trouble getting used to it
00:44:27This is David
00:44:33Come on, see you tonight
00:44:35Are you sure it's going to be okay?
00:44:48They will love you
00:44:50Come on
00:44:54Dad, you had to tell this story.
00:44:57It seemed necessary to me, yes.
00:45:00And I must have a good dozen more of the same kind.
00:45:03If you're interested Bobby
00:45:04Ah, no thanks.
00:45:05Are you sure?
00:45:07And you Bobby, tell us a little about yourself.
00:45:09You're from Walnut Creek, right?
00:45:12David told us that you are very close to your family.
00:45:14Yeah
00:45:14And what do your parents think about your homosexuality?
00:45:18They are terrified
00:45:19At first it's a little difficult
00:45:22They will eventually accept it
00:45:24You seem like a wonderful young man.
00:45:26I'm sure he adores you
00:45:27Come on, let's drink to that.
00:45:30To you both
00:45:31Health
00:45:31Cheers Bobby
00:45:33How did you meet?
00:45:36Do you remember Janet?
00:45:37Yes
00:45:38She's Bobby's cousin
00:45:39Ah good ?
00:45:40She was the one who introduced us
00:45:41Hold on tight
00:45:42It's a sin
00:45:43It's not natural
00:45:45Do you really want to waste your life?
00:45:48It's a sin
00:45:48She will never open her door to him
00:45:50Why do you insist on choosing this?
00:45:53Sometimes I suffer so much
00:45:54I am terrified and alone
00:45:56I'm sure he adores you
00:45:59I am damned
00:46:02Shh
00:46:03I am slowly sinking
00:46:08In a vast expanse of shifting sand
00:46:10A bottomless lake
00:46:11I wish I could crawl under a stone
00:46:15And sleep forever
00:46:16Are you at David's?
00:46:30I'm not here at the moment
00:46:31But leave me a message
00:46:32And I will call you back
00:46:33See you soon
00:46:34Hi David
00:46:37This is Bobby
00:46:38I thought you would be here
00:46:42Listen I really have
00:46:45Really need to talk to someone
00:46:48I was hoping you would be there
00:46:49Please
00:46:55Lord
00:46:56Keep helping Bobby
00:46:58Give him strength
00:46:59Help him find his way
00:47:20The path to purity
00:47:21The path of virtue
00:47:23Please
00:47:53It's a sin
00:48:09It's not natural
00:48:23Please
00:48:25Please
00:48:27Please
00:48:29Please
00:48:31Please
00:48:33Please
00:48:35Stop figuring things out
00:48:37He heard well
00:48:39It's done
00:48:41Yes
00:48:42Please
00:48:43Please
00:48:44Please
00:48:45Please
00:48:47Please
00:48:49Please
00:49:03Please
00:49:05You're going to be late for school.
00:49:14You're the one who didn't hear the alarm.
00:49:16Well, then we're both going to be late.
00:49:19Get in the car.
00:49:19Okay.
00:49:21Hello ?
00:49:22Janet, what's going on?
00:49:30What's up?
00:49:33What's up?
00:49:36No, it's time!
00:49:37Dad !
00:49:38Dad !
00:49:41What ?
00:49:44Hello ?
00:49:46Hello, Janet.
00:49:50Mary, you're being called to the main entrance and you need to grab your bag.
00:49:55Probably one of the kids who still needs money.
00:49:57See you later.
00:49:58No one talks to me about children.
00:49:59I needed a break.
00:50:00Hi !
00:50:03What's up?
00:50:24Firefighter committed suicide.
00:50:31What ?
00:50:31He jumped off a bridge.
00:50:36He is dead.
00:50:43Open!
00:50:44Open!
00:50:51Parfaitier, open this door!
00:50:53Let me out!
00:50:56My son is dead!
00:50:57Open!
00:50:59Joey, calm down!
00:51:11What's going on?
00:51:12All from here.
00:54:05I mean, why would God let Bobby go to hell if it was in his power to heal him?
00:54:10I don't know, Mary.
00:54:12Try to pull yourself together.
00:54:14People are already uncomfortable enough.
00:54:16Thank you for coming.
00:54:26Please.
00:54:27My deepest condolences.
00:54:28Mrs. Griffiths, Mr. Griffiths, I'm David, Bobby's friend.
00:54:45I offer you my condolences.
00:54:47He was really a great boy.
00:55:06I'm sorry.
00:55:15I'm sorry.
00:55:15Aunt Mary, David is a good person.
00:55:42like all of Bobby's friends.
00:55:45When Bobby lived here, things were under control.
00:55:48Then he moved to Portland and someone put all these ideas into his head.
00:55:51It didn't happen like that.
00:55:52David genuinely cared about him.
00:55:54We are his family.
00:55:55We knew how to help him.
00:55:57He wanted to change to get closer to God.
00:55:59To get closer to you.
00:56:00He just kept getting deeper and deeper into his mistake.
00:56:02And he got stuck.
00:56:03Do you really believe everything they say in church?
00:56:07I know you and Uncle Bob meant well, but that sermon...
00:56:09Bobby knew full well what homosexuality entailed.
00:56:12Bobby was sweet, kind and honest.
00:56:16A man who didn't even know him stood up to condemn him and you let him do it.
00:56:20Bobby did everything he could to make himself acceptable to you.
00:56:23He was so funny, so kind, so brilliant.
00:56:26It is rather a praise he deserved.
00:56:29I'm sorry you don't see it that way.
00:56:31You should go away.
00:56:35All right.
00:56:37Bobby's things are in his room.
00:57:01Boppy!
00:57:13Hi, Mom.
00:57:18Don't ever do that to me again.
00:57:34I knew it wasn't true.
00:57:36I knew God would bring you back to me.
00:57:39But yes, you always worry about nothing.
00:57:41It's not true, it's not true.
00:58:11I am slowly sinking into a vast expanse of shifting sand, into a bottomless lake.
00:58:24I wish I could crawl under a rock and sleep forever.
00:58:27Nobody understands me.
00:58:28No one in this house can accept my side of the story.
00:58:32I feel the eye of God looking at me with pity.
00:58:35I don't want anyone to know that I'm not straight.
00:58:37It would be too humiliating.
00:58:39My friends would hate me.
00:58:41And my family?
00:58:43Mom.
00:58:43I heard them talking about it.
00:58:44Oh, thank you.
00:58:46They said they hated gays and that even God hated them.
00:58:49It scares me when they talk like that because now they're talking about me.
00:58:56I don't want to choose sin.
00:58:58Really not.
00:58:59Lord, I am overflowing with anger and frustration.
00:59:02I can't take it anymore.
00:59:05Why are you silent?
00:59:07May 30.
00:59:10Family barbecue.
00:59:12Very nice.
00:59:13Mom was kind and funny.
00:59:15It was my little mom again.
00:59:18For a moment, it was just like before.
00:59:20She smiled at something I said.
00:59:22And I saw in her eyes that for a second, she had forgotten what she really thought of me.
00:59:27Anger is not expressed.
00:59:30This timid nature would never let a real storm break out.
00:59:35But it is there, on the horizon.
00:59:37I feel God looking at me with eyes filled with pity.
00:59:42And he cannot help me because I have preferred sin to virtue.
00:59:46Subtitling Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
01:00:15Oh, but yes, it's going great, like all of us.
01:00:18It's obvious, isn't it?
01:00:20Ed, this is something we have to deal with as a family.
01:00:23You already said that about Bobby and we saw the result.
01:00:26I'm fed up.
01:00:28I'm going.
01:00:29I'm going.
01:00:30Excuse me.
01:00:31Come on, Nancy.
01:00:37Bette.
01:01:02Do you want to go out and have a beer?
01:01:09No.
01:01:18He didn't even think about what it would do to us.
01:01:22It's true, he could have called.
01:01:24I don't know, but...
01:01:26But not to do this to us, like that.
01:01:29Ed.
01:01:29In a word.
01:01:30By a word, by a goodbye, nothing.
01:01:37I'm sorry, Bobby.
01:01:40I'm sorry.
01:01:43Are you happy now?
01:01:45Sorry, Bobby!
01:01:47Are you happy now?
01:01:49Ed.
01:01:50It's not your fault.
01:02:09There must be other Bobbys around us.
01:02:13Other young homosexuals
01:02:14who may perhaps end their days.
01:02:16Does the Church have a way to reach them?
01:02:22There are other churches that do this.
01:02:25Reverend Joseph asked us
01:02:28to convey his condolences to you.
01:02:32In two weeks,
01:02:32he will be back among us
01:02:34and will come see your family.
01:02:35How can I tell you?
01:02:38I'm a little lost.
01:02:41I can't find the peace I need.
01:02:48The Lord said
01:02:50that the unclean shall be cast into the lake of fire.
01:02:55Bobby had lost his way,
01:02:57but he was pure in his heart.
01:03:00He would never have hurt anyone.
01:03:05Is that enough?
01:03:06Yes.
01:03:19Lord,
01:03:21My relationship with you leaves something to be desired.
01:03:25I never asked you for anything.
01:03:27I only gave, as I was told.
01:03:30The Holy Spirit has taught me a lot,
01:03:33but today I need to know more.
01:03:35I can't.
01:03:53Good.
01:04:03I'm going to sleep in the living room.
01:04:05THANKS.
01:04:06THANKS.
01:04:07THANKS.
01:04:09THANKS.
01:04:09THANKS.
01:04:10Subtitling Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
01:04:40All right.
01:04:41All right.
01:04:47There is no taboo subject.
01:04:53Reverend Mary Griffiths.
01:04:55Welcome, Mary.
01:04:57In the Bible it is written that homosexuality is a very serious sin punishable by death.
01:05:02Do you personally believe this?
01:05:03There are other interpretations of the Bible, Mrs. Griffiths.
01:05:06My son, who is gay, committed suicide.
01:05:12Is there another interpretation of this?
01:05:16I'm sorry.
01:05:18What was his name?
01:05:26Bobby.
01:05:27Bobby Griffiths.
01:05:31Yes, I saw him here two or three times.
01:05:34My Bobby?
01:05:35He sat at the back.
01:05:38And then he didn't come anymore.
01:05:41Really, I'm sorry.
01:05:42It's absolutely…
01:05:44I need answers, to know where he is.
01:05:48Is homosexuality a mortal sin?
01:05:51In Leviticus it is written in black and white that if a man lies with another man, it is an abomination.
01:05:58An abomination, at that time, simply meant something impure.
01:06:02Leviticus also says that eating shellfish is an abomination, or mixing fabrics.
01:06:07Chapter 20, verse 13.
01:06:10If a man lies with another man, both of them shall be put to death.
01:06:13And he says the same thing about an adulterer, or a child who disobeys his parents.
01:06:18And it is clear that we do not interpret this literally.
01:06:21Deterononomy, chapter 22.
01:06:23If a woman is not a virgin on her wedding day, she will be taken back to her father and stoned to death.
01:06:30So what do you say to people who come here?
01:06:32To homosexuals.
01:06:35That homosexuality is not serious.
01:06:37That it is acceptable in the eyes of God?
01:06:40I tell them what seems to me to be the truth, that God loves them as they are.
01:06:45God's vengeance is great.
01:06:47Just like his compassion.
01:06:49You shouldn't teach them that homosexuality is tolerated.
01:06:53That's not what the Bible says, Reverend.
01:06:55You are adding to their confusion.
01:06:56Mrs. Griffiths, if you would like to come back later this week to discuss,
01:07:00my reach wide open, but not to hear reproaches.
01:07:03All right ?
01:07:04I am.
01:07:08Ah, I am.
01:07:10Ah, d'אới really.
01:07:11THANKS.
01:07:11...
01:07:41Well, I think it's not bad, well-stocked, well-decorated, apart from a few small, scattered corners, like your old father.
01:07:50Or like grandmother.
01:07:54Yeah.
01:07:56Mom, can I hang this on the tree?
01:07:58Of course.
01:08:03I remember when he did that, he must have been 7 years old.
01:08:07The year with Mrs. Tom, I think.
01:08:10He was so proud of himself.
01:08:11Where do you want us to put it?
01:08:17At the top of the tree, so he can see us.
01:08:27Hey !
01:08:28That works !
01:08:29I'll check on the cookies.
01:08:35I found the passage you mentioned about stoning.
01:08:49I found the passage you mentioned about stoning in Deuteronomy, chapter 22.
01:09:06But what about Sodom and Gomorra?
01:09:07God punished the sin of homosexuality.
01:09:10How do you explain that?
01:09:12I'm also glad to see you, Mary.
01:09:15What is all this?
01:09:16It's for a charity sale.
01:09:19Gays have their good works too.
01:09:20So what are we to make of Sodom and Gomorrah?
01:09:25Many scholars believe the sin was greed, not homosexuality.
01:09:30It wasn't accused of homosexuality until years after it was written.
01:09:34You have the answers to all these things, just to justify why we can be like this?
01:09:38Do you have any answers to justify why this is wrong?
01:09:40Are we at an impasse here?
01:09:43So, if I understand you correctly, we have the right to interpret the Bible in any way that suits us.
01:09:48No, of course not, but the Bible was written and interpreted by mere mortals.
01:09:54And many of these interpretations are simply a reflection of the times in which they lived.
01:09:58So, you feel totally free to question the Scriptures?
01:10:03I think it's blasphemous.
01:10:05I don't think questions bother God.
01:10:08He may not like all of our answers,
01:10:10but I believe that blind faith is as dangerous as no faith at all.
01:10:15But I never questioned my faith, I never had a reason to do so.
01:10:20Sometimes questioning her only makes her stronger.
01:10:26Bobby stopped coming here.
01:10:29I think I know why.
01:10:32He never allowed himself to feel worthy of God's love.
01:10:35And that's another fault too.
01:10:42Mary, are you familiar with the P-Flag association?
01:10:46It is a national organization of parents and friends of lesbians and gays.
01:10:50Reverend, this is not for me.
01:10:51Maybe that would help you?
01:10:52You would see that you are not alone.
01:10:55Goodbye, Reverend.
01:10:56Listen, there's a woman at Concorde, Betty Lambert.
01:10:59I think you'll get along well with her.
01:11:01She has a homosexual son in his thirties.
01:11:03I just had a few questions. I don't need anything else.
01:11:06You never know.
01:11:11A candy for all occasions.
01:11:13It is true that there is a passage that says that if a child is disobedient,
01:11:18he must be put to death.
01:11:19And no one interprets it literally.
01:11:23What I mean is,
01:11:25is that if the Church no longer takes this literally,
01:11:28It may be the same for homosexuality.
01:11:31It is possible.
01:11:33Don't you think it's important?
01:11:36Mary, I wasn't very excited about the first interpretation of the Bible.
01:11:39This could mean Bobby is in heaven.
01:11:42What is certain is that he is not there.
01:11:44Okay? Why isn't that enough for you?
01:11:46Is that enough for you?
01:11:50What's the point of all this you do?
01:11:53But what do you want me to do?
01:11:55That I forget it?
01:11:56Maybe you can, but I can't.
01:11:58I don't want to forget it, Mary.
01:11:59I want to remember him and continue living, but I can't.
01:12:02Nobody can do it.
01:12:03But that's it, that's it.
01:12:04Go, go hide.
01:12:05That's all you know how to do.
01:12:06You never face anything.
01:12:08Yes, because maybe if I had, Bobby would still be alive.
01:12:12Is that what you mean, Mary, is that what you think?
01:12:15Answer me.
01:12:17Listen, Mary, we've both done terrible things, we all have, but it's too late.
01:12:29He is dead and we will not bring him back.
01:12:32I know that.
01:12:34You think I don't know?
01:12:36Mary, I'm Betty.
01:13:01Good morning.
01:13:01Betty Lambert.
01:13:02I'm glad you called.
01:13:04Please come in.
01:13:05Reverend Witzel told me what happened to Bobby.
01:13:10I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a child like that.
01:13:15How long has it been?
01:13:18Six months.
01:13:20Six months and a few days.
01:13:24Our son was 14 when he officially told us.
01:13:28So young?
01:13:30I guessed it before.
01:13:33We mothers always know that, don't we?
01:13:38And did the thing suit you?
01:13:40Lord, no.
01:13:42I doubt any parent will hear this news and think, "Oh, great!"
01:13:48No, “awesome” wasn’t the first word that came to mind.
01:13:55Mary, why don't you come to an association meeting with me?
01:14:00No, I'm not...
01:14:02I don't know how to speak in public.
01:14:05Nobody asks you anything.
01:14:07You just come as a spectator.
01:14:10You will probably be very surprised to see the number of people for whom there was no doubt that they were a model family.
01:14:18So maybe.
01:14:18He was teased at school until the day he hit himself.
01:14:28Mary, have you come?
01:14:29I can't stay long.
01:14:31It doesn't matter. Come on, come on.
01:14:32I was furious.
01:14:33I went to see the director, but he didn't take any action against the culprits.
01:14:38It shocked me enormously.
01:14:41I called them faggots or crazy people.
01:14:44I didn't know.
01:14:46It took me a long time to accept my son Sam.
01:14:50I think I always knew.
01:14:52Already, the fact that he asked for a pink polo shirt for his birthday.
01:14:57He has always been different.
01:14:59Well, he tells me he's gay.
01:15:01And me, what do I do?
01:15:03I'm taking him hunting.
01:15:05Here in his magnificent pink polo shirt,
01:15:06he sees a deer and shouts "Run, Bambi, run!"
01:15:11I always knew I could love my son.
01:15:14I never thought I could accept him for who he is.
01:15:18When Jill told me she was a lesbian,
01:15:21I insisted that she see a psychiatrist.
01:15:23But when he recommended electroshocks, there, frankly,
01:15:28I looked at my little girl and the pain in her eyes.
01:15:32I thought, this is crazy.
01:15:34Oh, good evening, Reverend. Have a seat.
01:15:36Good evening everyone.
01:15:37Good evening, Reverend.
01:15:38I'm delighted to see you here tonight.
01:15:41As you know, Reverend Whitsall is the pastor
01:15:43of the Metropolitan Community Church,
01:15:46and he proposes a day of homosexual freedom
01:15:49to the Walnut Creek City Council.
01:15:51The vote on the issue is expected in less than a month,
01:15:54and I would very much like to be able to count on your support.
01:15:56I'm worried about it.
01:15:57I'm worried about it.
01:16:00Evening.
01:16:01I care.
01:16:01...
01:16:31...
01:16:51Mary?
01:16:53What are you doing in the rain?
01:16:56You're soaked, come on.
01:16:58I don't know where to go.
01:17:01I sat there listening to them tell their story and explain that deep down, they had always known that their child was different.
01:17:18And then last night, I had a dream.
01:17:22Bobby was a baby.
01:17:24My son has always been different.
01:17:30My son has always been different.
01:17:34Its difference began at conception.
01:17:40I knew it.
01:17:44I felt it.
01:17:46And now I know why God didn't heal Bobby.
01:17:52He didn't cure him because...
01:17:56In fact, there was nothing wrong with him.
01:18:04I killed him.
01:18:07I killed my son.
01:18:09You didn't kill your son.
01:18:11Bobby committed suicide.
01:18:12How will God forgive me?
01:18:16How will Bobby ever forgive me?
01:18:19God has already forgiven you.
01:18:21Forgive yourself.
01:18:23I'm so sorry, Bobby.
01:18:30I blame myself so much.
01:18:42Lord, give us something that helps us live
01:18:45and that we can pass on to those whose lives will never be the same again
01:18:49after the death of a loved one.
01:18:51I haven't decided what color my eyes will be.
01:18:54And I realize now that Bobby didn't decide to be gay.
01:18:58If you say that in your world it is wrong and shameful to be born without arms
01:19:03and a child is born without arms,
01:19:06What will this child think?
01:19:08Parents and friends of lesbians and gays...
01:19:11She can be proud. I think that's exactly what we wanted.
01:19:16Our first vote will be on a proposal
01:19:18for a gay freedom day in Walnut Creek.
01:19:22Your attention, please.
01:19:24We will be listening to several speakers.
01:19:25I don't see her.
01:19:26To begin, Reverend Whitson.
01:19:29For one day, people will finally be able to celebrate their differences instead of being ashamed.
01:19:35To start...
01:19:37Do you think we have nothing else to do?
01:19:39There are so many other people who need our support and attention.
01:19:43Why are we wasting our time with this?
01:19:45Quiet, please, quiet, a little calm.
01:19:48These people spit in the face of decency and morality.
01:19:52It's true.
01:19:53We will not tolerate the foundations of our society being trampled underfoot.
01:19:59Never.
01:20:05I presented myself to the human relations committee.
01:20:09They preferred that kind of sissy Witzel.
01:20:11I sent him a letter where I told him
01:20:14We sing hymns in our church.
01:20:16What exactly do you do in yours?
01:20:19Unless someone else wants to speak,
01:20:21We will retire to deliberate.
01:20:24Mary?
01:20:26Hey, Dad! Dad!
01:20:28Come and see!
01:20:30Dad, hurry! Mom's on TV!
01:20:32Homosexuality is a sin.
01:20:36Homosexuals are condemned to spend eternity in hell.
01:20:39If these people wanted to change,
01:20:42they could be cured of their perversion.
01:20:45If they kept themselves away from all temptation,
01:20:48they would return to normality.
01:20:50If only they would try and redouble their efforts,
01:20:53if ever that is not enough.
01:20:55These are all the things I said to my son Bobby
01:20:57when I found out he was gay.
01:21:00When he told me he was gay, my world came crashing down.
01:21:04I did everything I could to cure him of his illness.
01:21:10Eight months ago, my son took his own life.
01:21:13by throwing himself off a bridge.
01:21:16I deeply regret my ignorance.
01:21:18of what gays and lesbians are, believe me.
01:21:21I realize that everything I was taught
01:21:23was nothing but dehumanizing bigotry and malice.
01:21:26if I had looked further than what I took for granted,
01:21:30if only I had listened to my son.
01:21:35When he spoke to me and confided in me,
01:21:38I will not be here today before you, filled with regrets.
01:21:42I am convinced that God was pleased with Bobby's loving and gentle soul.
01:21:48In God's eyes, kindness and love are all that matters.
01:21:52I didn't know that every time I see homosexuals in the flames of hell
01:21:57and that I was talking about Bobby as a deranged, perverted person and a danger to our children,
01:22:03I was slowly destroying his self-esteem and his sense of dignity,
01:22:09until finally, his spirit is irreparably crushed.
01:22:15It was not God's will for Bobby to step over that day
01:22:20the parapet of a highway bridge
01:22:22and throws himself under the wheels of a red veil that he killed instantly.
01:22:29Bobby's death was a direct result of ignorance
01:22:32from the ignorance of his parents and their fear of being mocked.
01:22:38He wanted to become a writer.
01:22:42His hopes and dreams shouldn't have been taken away, but they were.
01:22:48There are other children like Bobby sitting in your congregations.
01:22:55They will listen to your blacklistings, to which everyone will respond "Amen."
01:23:02And very quickly, this will silence their prayers.
01:23:06Their prayers to God for tolerance, understanding and for your love.
01:23:12But your hatred, fear, and ignorance of the word "gay" will have silenced those prayers.
01:23:21So, please, before you say “Amen” whether at home or in your place of worship,
01:23:31Think, think and remember, there is a child listening to you.
01:23:37There is a child listening to you.
01:23:43Thank you, Mom.
01:23:48Gorgeous.
01:23:51We can be proud.
01:23:52We lost. They rejected the proposal.
01:24:08We'll try next year.
01:24:12So it's decided, we're going to San Francisco?
01:24:14I think we have to. I don't think we have a choice.
01:24:18When you think about it, how ironic.
01:24:21How ironic.
01:24:24GOOD.
01:24:36Are we late?
01:24:37Right on time.
01:24:38Right on time.
01:24:39Yes, it will be fine.
01:24:40We are complete.
01:24:41Oh no, not really.
01:24:42Come on.
01:24:44We have a special place for you.
01:24:46It's great that you're all here.
01:24:51This is awesome.
01:24:59This is awesome.
01:25:03Ah!
01:25:21To all the Bobbys and Janes of the Earth, I address these words as if you were my own beloved children.
01:25:38Promise me you will never despair of life, or of yourself.
01:25:42You are very dear to me, and I work very hard to make your life more beautiful and safer.
01:25:50Promise me you'll never give up.
01:25:53Bobby has given up on love. Don't be like him.
01:25:57You are in all my thoughts.
01:25:59My name is Bobby Griffiths.
01:26:03I write this journal in the hope that one day, many years from now, I might, upon rereading these words, remember what my life was like when I was a somewhat lost teenager desperately trying to understand himself and the world he lived in.
01:26:18I am also writing this so that long after my death, others can learn about me and how I lived my early years.
