00:00:04Based on a true story.
00:00:19Prayers for Bobby.
00:00:22Oh God, I need you too. I want to see your face.
00:00:29When I have the time, it makes me search for you.
00:00:37I need to hear from you. I need to answer you.
00:00:44I need to hear from you. I need to answer you.

00:02:19Satsang with Mooji
00:02:34Very good, you two, that's enough.
00:02:42You like him. And I think he likes you.
00:02:45Why don't you tell her, Mom?
00:02:46Maybe I will.
00:02:50Here you go, Mom.
00:02:55Oh!
00:02:58It's a wonderful day.
00:03:00Where is this written?
00:03:02Those who love you, be like the sun when it rises strong.
00:03:07Corinthians.
00:03:08Judges 531.
00:03:10Pamparrón.
00:03:11Okay, Grandma. How old are you?
00:03:13It doesn't matter.
00:03:15You don't ask a lady how old she is.
00:03:18Oh, that. That's sensational.
00:03:23Leave something for me.
00:03:25Look.
00:03:26You have no imagination.
00:03:29How lovely! Who gave it to you?
00:03:31Well, you and Mary.
00:03:35You were right. I was just testing you.
00:03:39Remember, Mom. We were at the mall and you said you liked it. So I went back and bought it for you.
00:03:45Nancy, darling, bring me my bag.
00:03:48Why do I always have to bring you your bag? It's a ritual.
00:03:52The youngest of the little griffins on errands.
00:03:54It's true.
00:03:56Grandma, open mine.
00:03:57Why are boys never allowed to carry their bags?
00:04:00Nancy, wait. Give me the purse.
00:04:04Yes, I think it suits me.
00:04:06What do you think?
00:04:08Grandma, that's a beautiful lipstick color.
00:04:10Beautiful!
00:04:12Oh, Ed, that's enough.
00:04:13Why? What's happening?
00:04:14It's horrible.
00:04:16If you ask me, homosexuals should be lined up and shot.
00:04:21Didn't you say the same thing about giants?
00:04:23What did you say?
00:04:25It doesn't matter.
00:04:28What is this?
00:04:30It's a diary.
00:04:31Of memories.
00:04:33I don't need memories.
00:04:39Mother.
00:04:40That?
00:04:40I will go.
00:04:41We didn't buy you the pen to write with.
00:04:44You can't take it personally.
00:04:46It's the grandmother.
00:04:47You know the rule, it's bad, and then it gives us permission to make fun of it.
00:04:51He's always against me.
00:04:53It means nothing to you.
00:04:55You are his favorite.
00:04:58What does it feel like to be perfect?
00:05:01Am I perfect?
00:05:02Do you think I'm perfect?
00:05:04Have you looked in the mirror?
00:05:05You're the next Charlie's Angel.
00:05:10Will you give it to me?
00:05:12You don't want it.
00:05:13Okay, I'll take it.
00:05:15I'll fill it up in a week.
00:05:18Now we're going to celebrate Grandma's ten thousandth birthday.
00:05:33I'm ready.
00:05:35That?
00:05:37I want to go further.
00:05:42Something wrong?
00:05:43I thought you wanted it too.
00:05:45Well, that's not really what I had in mind.
00:05:48Okay, it doesn't have to be that way.
00:05:51I have to go.
00:05:52I have to get up early.
00:05:53Something wrong?
00:05:55I don't think this is going to work.
00:05:57We have to break up.
00:06:00But I thought you loved me.
00:06:02I came to meet your family.
00:06:04No, I don't want to go that fast.
00:06:07Well, you don't have to take it so seriously, okay?
00:06:10It's not your fault, it's mine.
00:06:12I'm sorry.
00:06:14I'm sorry.
00:06:23No, I don't know.
00:06:28No no.
00:06:30Follow.
00:06:30I want to go further.
00:06:35Thank you.
00:06:37Follow.
00:06:38I'm sorry.
00:06:41Follow.
00:06:41I'm sorry.
00:06:43Follow.
00:06:52Hey, will you come with me to see this?
00:06:55I'm tired.
00:06:56Who else am I going to ask to come with me to see a black and white movie?
00:06:59If it's not John Wayne, your father isn't interested.
00:07:03It's terrifying.
00:07:08This scene is famous.
00:07:09Oh really?
00:07:10Do you know how they made the glass of milk shine?
00:07:13As?
00:07:14Hitchcock placed a light bulb inside the glass so that people would understand that the milk was poisoned.
00:07:19Oh really?
00:07:20Wow, how clever.
00:07:22How did you know?
00:07:24Because I'm brilliant.
00:07:27You are.
00:07:28Give me this.
00:07:29Take it, I've already eaten a lot.
00:07:31I think something is wrong with me.
00:07:33That's for sure.
00:07:36What do you think Mom would do if she found out that one of you was a psychopath?
00:07:40Don't you think she noticed?
00:07:44You know, like you're always saying, the family will be together in the afterlife.
00:07:49What if one of us is a sinner?
00:07:53If you sinned with Michelle, I promise not to tell.
00:07:57It's not that.
00:07:59I'm thinking in general, you know.
00:08:02You overthink things.
00:08:04It's dangerous.
00:08:05That's why I avoid it at all costs.
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:11I'm glad we're talking.
00:08:14Is something really bad happening now?
00:08:16No.
00:08:19Good, because I'm your older brother and I have to take care of you.
00:08:50How are you, Bobby?
00:08:51Where are you going?
00:08:55Hi, Bobby.
00:08:57Hi, Cheryl.
00:08:59He's not your type.
00:09:01She wears too much makeup.
00:09:02What's wrong with Michelle?
00:09:05We finished.
00:09:07See you later.
00:09:12I'm not telling the truth.
00:09:15I feel like I'm on the edge of a cliff, staring at a crashing wave with nowhere to go.
00:09:20but downwards.
00:09:20I used to have these dreams where I flew and felt free.
00:09:25But now that I'm flying, I feel afraid.
00:09:29There are the telephone wires and the electrical wires.
00:09:32How painful would it be to crash into one of them?
00:09:36I wonder if I will ever feel free again.
00:09:39Yes, do you like oysters?
00:09:41When they give them to me, I love them.
00:09:43Do you like snails?
00:09:46No, I love you.
00:09:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:25Do you consider it moral to eat oysters and immoral to eat snails?
00:10:29No, love. I want you to go back to your family.
00:10:31I beg you. It's me you want, or the army.
00:10:35Hello.
00:10:49Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! What did you do? Tell me!
00:10:53Did you take them? Come on, tell me!
00:10:56No.
00:10:57Are you telling the truth?
00:10:58I couldn't do it, okay? Leave me alone.
00:11:02I wanted to do it, but I couldn't.
00:11:09What's going on with you?
00:11:12Do you know why I couldn't?
00:11:15Because it is a sin.
00:11:20Bobby, tell me what you're talking about.
00:11:24I didn't want to go to hell, but I will.
00:11:27What are you taking about?
00:11:28This is worse.
00:11:29Bobby, you're scaring me. What's going on?
00:11:34Everyone will hate me.
00:11:36I know. If they find out the truth, they'll hate me.
00:11:39No. No matter what it is, we'll tell Mom.
00:11:43No. No, Mom wouldn't understand. She can't know.
00:11:47So tell me right now.
00:11:54I'm not like you, Ed.
00:11:55And?
00:11:58I keep trying. I keep telling myself that one day I'll wake up and everything will be different, but it's not like that.
00:12:05I don't dream about girls, like you, Ed.
00:12:11I dream about boys.
00:12:14Are you...
00:12:16Homosexual?
00:12:18See? You even said it as if you hated me.
00:12:21Bobby, please, it's not like that.
00:12:23I don't know what to do.
00:12:24We'll tell Mom and Dad.
00:12:26No!
00:12:27No.
00:12:27They can help, Bobby. They always want us to come to them. They can do it.
00:12:32I can't, okay?
00:12:34And you won't say anything to him either.
00:12:37Promise me.
00:12:38Promise me you won't tell him anything.
00:12:44Ed, promise me.
00:12:45Alright.
00:12:47I promise.
00:12:53Mom, you always said that if something bad happens to one of your children, they should come and talk to you.
00:12:58What did you do?
00:13:00It's not me, it's Bobby.
00:13:02What's happening?
00:13:06I didn't want to tell you, but...
00:13:08He looks so bad and I'm really worried about him.
00:13:12He thinks it's...
00:13:15He believes he is homosexual.
00:13:18It isn't.
00:13:21He didn't want me to tell you, but he was going to take a bottle of aspirin.
00:13:27Yes, and...
00:13:28And he told me.
00:13:29She can't be too hard on him.
00:13:30Calm down, calm down.
00:13:31Good?
00:13:32I'm glad you told me.
00:13:34There is no doubt in my mind that God can handle this.
00:13:37He will help us.
00:13:39It will heal Bobby.
00:13:41Listen to me, so that we can be together in the kingdom of God, we cannot get lost.
00:13:46We cannot sin like that.
00:13:47And that is a horrible sin.
00:13:49The Bible calls it an abomination.
00:13:51In Leviticus, if a man sleeps with another man, both deserve the death penalty.
00:13:55I will not risk my family not being able to be together in the afterlife.
00:13:59Mary, could you please worry about this life before the next?
00:14:03What's going on?
00:14:05Is there a problem you'd like to talk to us about?
00:14:09No.
00:14:11Bobby, if there's anything bad you want to share with your family...
00:14:15How could you?
00:14:17Come on, Bobby.
00:14:18I'm going to kill you!
00:14:19No!
00:14:19That's enough!
00:14:21No!
00:14:21I'm going to kill you!
00:14:22I was worried about you!
00:14:24Trust yourself!
00:14:24Calm down!
00:14:25What was I supposed to do?
00:14:26Ed, Ed, find something to do, okay?
00:14:30Bobby, we are your family.
00:14:32We'll sort it out.
00:14:33I know that if we trust in God, we can solve it.
00:14:35It is curable with your help.
00:14:37I'm sorry.
00:14:39I can't help it.
00:14:40I don't even want to do it.
00:14:42Mom, what do I do?
00:14:43Bobby, you're not gay.
00:14:47You probably haven't met a girl you're really attracted to.
00:14:51Please, Mom, don't tell anyone.
00:14:55Please, Mom.
00:14:56Don't worry.
00:14:57Don't worry.
00:14:58Everything is going to be alright.
00:14:59Shh!
00:15:08I was worried about you.
00:15:10What was I supposed to do?
00:15:13I'm leaving here.
00:15:18Thank you again for tuning in.
00:15:21I am Pastor Raymond.
00:15:22We'll take another call.
00:15:23This is Melissa's in Concord.
00:15:25Thank you, Reverend.
00:15:27My sister made a terrible mistake.
00:15:29He sinned and died in a tragic car accident.
00:15:33Listen to me, Bobby.
00:15:34I advise you to live in accordance with your new life in the Holy Spirit.
00:15:38And so you will not do what your sinful nature desires you to do.
00:15:42When the Holy Spirit controls your life, you receive love, joy, kindness, goodness, and self-control.
00:15:51Does everyone need to know?
00:15:52We are your family.
00:15:54We love you.
00:15:56That?
00:15:57That?
00:15:57Mom, have you seen my hair curling iron?
00:16:10I am pure of heart.
00:16:12I am God's goodness.
00:16:15We still love you, Bobby.
00:16:18Yes, thanks.
00:16:19Can I have privacy?
00:16:24Gentlemen, to the boarding section.
00:16:27Gentlemen, to the boarding section.
00:16:34Hello.
00:16:35Mrs. Dato, you have a call.
00:16:39If a homosexual wants to leave his homosexuality behind and finds a psychiatrist who knows how to cure homosexuality,
00:16:47He could have every chance of becoming a happy and well-adjusted heterosexual.
00:17:03Do you sometimes hear voices?
00:17:06No.
00:17:10Do you sometimes hear buzzing sounds?
00:17:12No.
00:17:15Is this the phone?
00:17:22That was a joke.
00:17:28So you think you're gay?
00:17:34Bobby, how many girls have you been with?
00:17:37Don't know.
00:17:38Two.
00:17:40Did you have sex?
00:17:46So you're not sure about what you're saying?
00:17:50Only...
00:17:51I feel things, you know.
00:17:52I'm not sure, I just...
00:17:56I feel things.
00:18:01Do you want to be gay, Bobby?
00:18:09I just want to be close to my family.
00:18:11I feel like I've slipped and I can't...
00:18:14stand up.
00:18:16I won't be able to help you...
00:18:17if you don't answer all my questions.
00:18:23No, I don't want to be homosexual.
00:18:26I'll speak to your mother alone for a few minutes, okay?
00:18:34She wants to talk to you.
00:18:41It can be cured, right?
00:18:46He really has to want to work at it.
00:18:49Oh, yes, he wants it.
00:18:50He wants it.
00:18:51And I think it would be good, it would be important...
00:18:53that her husband attend therapy.
00:18:58Clear.
00:19:00How did it go?
00:19:04He said we should spend more time together.
00:19:08Perhaps you two should spend more time together.
00:19:12Yes, sure.
00:19:19Was that all for $60 an hour?
00:19:22He also wants the three of us to attend a few sessions together.
00:19:25Then it's our fault.
00:19:27No, no, I'm not sure about that.
00:19:29Bob, listen, I want you to be a part of this.
00:19:31I can't do it alone.
00:19:33I read that homosexuals have sex in public restrooms and recruit children.
00:19:39What are you talking about?
00:19:42Do you think he was recruited?
00:19:43Come on, Mary, you're exaggerating.
00:19:45We have to do something about it.
00:19:47I'm not going to lose it.
00:19:53We ask you, Lord, to keep Bobby safe from temptation.
00:19:56Please help him to regain his purity of heart.
00:19:59Do you think this will cure me?
00:20:00Bobby, you must trust that God will heal you, and Satan will try to discourage you.
00:20:06Do you trust in God?
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:10If he'll let me sleep.
00:20:17When temptation surrounds you, your faith is not enough.
00:20:22You need discipline, not just mental, but physical.
00:20:26Who wants to share their story?
00:20:31I used to be very unhappy.
00:20:33I would stay up at night, I was rude to my mother.
00:20:36Since I've been here, I've accepted Jesus as my savior.
00:20:39I changed.
00:20:41Mom and I are friends now.
00:20:43Great, Terry.
00:20:45That is the power of prayer and hard work.
00:20:48Bobby, what's wrong with you?
00:20:49How do you feel?
00:20:54Good.
00:20:55Well, you feel better, right?
00:20:57I can see it in your eyes.
00:20:58The effort was worth it.
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:04Let's sing, shall we?
00:21:04Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that may be the way I need.
00:21:38Nothing I do seems to make a difference.
00:21:42I try to act like them, but it seems impossible.
00:21:46It's horrible to feel like I'm walking straight into the flames of hell.
00:21:50Even worse is when everyone tells you how easy the solution is.
00:21:54They don't know what it's like to be in my shoes.
00:21:58I'm running, I don't eat junk food.
00:22:00Excellent!
00:22:03Yes, well, but I don't know what the point is.
00:22:06I don't have acne, but everything else is the same.
00:22:10You have to make an effort.
00:22:11Do you like the people in your group?
00:22:14They are kind.
00:22:15There is a girl.
00:22:16I hope you're taking this seriously.
00:22:18I'm speaking from the heart.
00:22:20I hope you're trying.
00:22:22Bobby, I can't lose you.
00:22:24You won't.
00:22:29Have faith.
00:22:35This is going to be fun.
00:22:37When was the last time the Griffith men went hiking together?
00:22:42Come here for a second.
00:22:47Goodbye, Bobby.
00:22:48I love you.
00:22:49Bye bye.
00:22:50Bye bye.
00:22:56How did school go for you?
00:22:58Good.
00:23:01Have you thought about your plans yet?
00:23:04Go to university?
00:23:06No, I'm referring to your life plans.
00:23:10I'm thinking about becoming a writer.
00:23:13Bobby, you've always had a great imagination and we support that, but you're reaching the age where you'll have to
00:23:18be practical.
00:23:19Dreaming is wonderful when you're young, but it doesn't really have a place in the real world.
00:23:30Yeah.
00:23:32Did you hear what I said?
00:23:33Yeah.
00:23:34Okay, okay.
00:23:35Walking.
00:23:36Let's walk, okay.
00:23:44How did it go?
00:23:47I am cured.
00:23:51We had a good time.
00:23:54Did they talk?
00:23:56Yes, we talked.
00:23:58What did they talk about?
00:24:01Mary, everything went well.
00:24:03No, but it's important.
00:24:05This could either help him or destroy him.
00:24:07I did the best I could.
00:24:08Is that enough for you?
00:24:16Often, confusion like Bobby's can be caused by an overprotective mother or a distant father.
00:24:25Was that how my parents were, and I turned out okay?
00:24:29Bob.
00:24:30Yeah?
00:24:31You need to participate in this.
00:24:33I'm here in the living room, Mary.
00:24:36You know?
00:24:38I think that...
00:24:39I was a good father.
00:24:41He may not know it, but Bobby never liked the things his brother liked or
00:24:45other children.
00:24:46I simply wasn't interested.
00:24:48Uh-huh.
00:24:48So, I won't force him.
00:24:50Yeah?
00:24:55Hi, Bobby.
00:24:56I'm Sheila.
00:25:03Mom, who is she?
00:25:06Sheila.
00:25:06Well, Sheila studies in my class on Sundays.
00:25:09Did you arrange a date for me?
00:25:11You need to go out with a lot of girls.
00:25:13Your father agrees too.
00:25:15At least I can choose her.
00:25:19Don't do that to your arm.
00:25:22Have fun.
00:25:23You look handsome.
00:25:24Do you want a piece?
00:25:26No.
00:25:26To give you energy, take it with you.
00:25:33Hello, who is she?
00:25:34He's my brother Ed.
00:25:35Hello.
00:25:35Hi, I'm Sheila.
00:25:36Nice to meet you.
00:25:37Likewise.
00:25:38Hello.
00:25:40Do you want to meet my friends?
00:25:41Yeah.
00:25:42Come.
00:25:47Will you ever speak to me again?
00:25:51Look where it led me.
00:25:54What if she wants to say goodbye with a kiss?
00:25:56Tell him you're gay.
00:25:59Homosexual.
00:26:13Homosexual.
00:26:28Did you tell your friends?
00:26:31Bobby, those aren't my friends.
00:26:32You told them I'm gay.
00:26:34I didn't tell anyone.
00:26:35Stop being paranoid.
00:26:36You hate me.
00:26:38They think I don't see what's going on, but I do.
00:26:41I have to go.
00:26:42Bobby.
00:26:51It's three in the morning.
00:26:55Sorry, I didn't realize.
00:26:57Where were you?
00:27:01Bobby.
00:27:04It's not you.
00:27:06It is a temptation that strives to make its way in.
00:27:09And you shouldn't pray anymore if you want to heal.
00:27:13Good night, Mom.
00:27:16Apologize for that now, Bobby.
00:27:23If you believe, you will receive what you ask for in prayer.
00:27:28This looks delicious.
00:27:39It was fun, girls.
00:27:40I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:27:43There's Bobby.
00:27:44Hello.
00:27:44Hello.
00:27:46Hello.
00:27:47Where is Joey?
00:27:48He had to work, so he asked me to pick you up.
00:27:50Come.
00:27:52You are welcome.
00:27:54What about you?
00:27:55That?
00:27:55Do you think I didn't notice that?
00:27:56You didn't want your friends to see me.
00:27:58Some people wouldn't understand.
00:28:00And now it's so obvious?
00:28:02Or did you tell them, Mom?
00:28:03Look at what you're wearing.
00:28:06I've told you time and time again not to put your arm like that.
00:28:10It makes you look like a child, and you keep doing it.
00:28:13I always dressed like this.
00:28:14No, not always.
00:28:15You've gotten worse.
00:28:17Bobby, why are you doing this?
00:28:18I'm trying to help you.
00:28:19No, it's not like that.
00:28:21You're trying to help yourself.
00:28:22It has nothing to do with me.
00:28:23It has to do with what people think about you.
00:28:27Marvelous.
00:28:27Brilliant.
00:28:29Let's go home now.
00:28:30I will walk.
00:28:31Wait.
00:28:32Where are you going?
00:28:35That's what Darrell said.
00:28:37And what did he say?
00:28:37That she was dating him.
00:28:39Yes, are you sure?
00:28:40Hey, can I buy you a drink?
00:28:41OK that's fine.
00:28:42Very good.
00:28:46Hey, didn't I see you, Mom?
00:28:48Yes, that's what you said.
00:28:49Look who's arrived.
00:28:50Nice to meet you.
00:28:51Yes, I liked you too.
00:28:52You are very attractive.
00:28:53I should be focused on my main task.
00:28:55Yes, yes, of course.
00:28:57Let's go see this one.
00:28:59Am I going to come in here?
00:29:01Oh, I love that jacket.
00:29:03Me neither.
00:29:04Yes, that's it.
00:29:07Come, follow me.
00:29:09I don't know, whatever you want.
00:29:10Give me a second.
00:29:11Am I going to the bathroom?
00:29:11No, no, no, no.
00:29:13Clear.
00:29:13Of course.
00:29:15Hey, you don't do it.
00:29:40I hadn't seen you around here before.
00:29:43You are truly beautiful.
00:29:51I have to go.
00:29:52Can I call you?
00:29:57No.
00:30:09Community church.
00:30:16Bobby.
00:30:19Don't worry, I was at church.
00:30:30Hello, cousin.
00:30:31I have a name.
00:30:33Beautiful cousin.
00:30:36How long are you going to stay?
00:30:37Just for today.
00:30:38I'll leave tonight.
00:30:40I came to visit Dad,
00:30:41But I couldn't resist watching them.
00:30:44It's not something you choose.
00:30:45You can't go against it.
00:30:47It's the same as saying that stealing is not an option.
00:30:49That?
00:30:51Aunt Mary, lunch is delicious.
00:30:53Joy is right, Bobby.
00:30:55The Bible says that men who commit shameful acts with other men
00:30:58They receive the appropriate punishment for their mistakes.
00:31:02You simply don't change.
00:31:03I cannot erase what is in the Bible.
00:31:05Personally, I believe that people should love whomever they want.
00:31:14I mentioned how delicious the lunch was.
00:31:16Even animals know who to do it with.
00:31:19Actually, my dog does it with the pillow.
00:31:22Could we find something different to talk about?
00:31:24Yeah.
00:31:25Bobby, it's your turn.
00:31:26Why don't you tell us how you're doing at school?
00:31:28I dropped out of school.
00:31:32What are you saying?
00:31:35And what about university?
00:31:36I won't go.
00:31:39Brilliant.
00:31:41What's next?
00:31:43Will you ruin your life?
00:31:45Well, it's my life that I'll ruin.
00:31:53Does the same thing happen at all meals?
00:31:56Almost always.
00:31:58You should come visit me in Portland.
00:32:00It's wonderful.
00:32:01I used to envy you.
00:32:04When I used to come here with my mom and dad, I wanted my parents to be just like yours.
00:32:08They seemed so close.
00:32:10All that is over.
00:32:12I believe they love the sinner, not the sin.
00:32:14They must love their child no matter what the sin is.
00:32:17Did that sound good?
00:32:18I'm going to write my own Bible.
00:32:29Have you thought about going to Portland?
00:32:34Hello, Mrs. Griffith.
00:32:35Is Bobby there?
00:32:40Bobby, it's enough that you go out at night to who knows what places, but bringing those freaks to my
00:32:45home.
00:32:46It's also my home, and I'm also my friends.
00:32:48Do you really think they are?
00:32:50Now it's also a sin to have friends.
00:32:52We had a good time, okay?
00:32:54We went to the Roque Horror together.
00:32:56Does that mean we will all be punished?
00:32:58Bobby, I thought you were cured.
00:33:01When?
00:33:01When I felt miserable.
00:33:03Did you think he was getting better?
00:33:04You're right, Mom.
00:33:05I am destined for hell.
00:33:06Don't say that, please, Bobby.
00:33:08That's what your Bible says.
00:33:08The Bible says that people can change too.
00:33:11I tried, Mom.
00:33:12But I can't.
00:33:13Why do you keep choosing that?
00:33:15Why would I choose that?
00:33:17Why would I choose to have my entire family hate me?
00:33:20We don't love you, Bobby!
00:33:21Can't you see that's why we're doing this?
00:33:23Is this how you feel love, Mom?
00:33:30Have fun in Portland.
00:33:33A new shirt for your vacation.
00:33:35I hope you like it.
00:33:40Promise that you will write and call all the time.
00:33:43It's only two months.
00:33:46Drive carefully.
00:33:47Don't worry, ma'am.
00:33:51Call me when you get to Portland.
00:33:54I engraved this with your initials.
00:34:02Hey, watch out, friend.
00:34:10I love you all.
00:34:14Bye bye.
00:34:14Goodbye, have fun.
00:34:16Goodbye, Bobby.
00:34:16Goodbye, Bobby.
00:34:17Have a good one.
00:34:18Bye bye.
00:34:19Bye bye.
00:34:30I'm glad to be getting away from Walnut Creek.
00:34:33I feel like it's a new life, a new day, and I will succeed in everything I do.
00:34:40My goal is to achieve a feeling of pride and worth as a human being.
00:34:56Beautiful, cousin, come here.
00:35:03Welcome to Portland.
00:35:22Believe me, you won't find clubs like these back home.
00:35:25Incredible.
00:35:38Welcome to wonderland, cousin.
00:35:41This is incredible.
00:35:42Let's have some fun.
00:35:47Welcome to Wonderland, first, come here.
00:36:09This is my cousin, Bobby.
00:36:14Finally I can meet you, Bobby.
00:36:49Janet says that your dad and your mom want to cure your homosexuality.
00:36:53Yes, well, my parents can't understand it.
00:36:57Did yours?
00:36:58Not at first, but eventually they did.
00:37:02How did you get them to change?
00:37:05One day I asked them, "Do you accept me as I am or do you forget about me?"
00:37:11I know Mom wants what's best for me, but I don't know if she'll ever accept me.
00:37:20But don't give up trying.
00:37:29Now that you know, how do you talk to your parents about homosexuality?
00:38:01Have a good trip.
00:38:03Thank you.
00:38:04Don't let him humiliate you.
00:38:06And don't be afraid to face it.
00:38:21These two months went by very quickly.
00:38:29I'll call you when I arrive.
00:38:32It will be better.
00:38:37Well, look who's here.
00:38:39Hi, Dad.
00:38:40Hey, come here.
00:38:42Just in time for dinner.
00:38:44Forward.
00:38:46What fun.
00:38:47What fun.
00:38:47Brilliant.
00:38:48How was your trip to Portland?
00:38:49Yeah.
00:38:50It's wonderful.
00:38:52Excellent.
00:38:52I'm thinking of moving there for a while.
00:38:55Oh.
00:38:56Moving?
00:38:57I met someone.
00:39:03A boy.
00:39:08Girls, will you help me with this, please?
00:39:14Are we supposed to pretend we didn't hear that?
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:18Bobby, it wasn't the right time.
00:39:22I know.
00:39:23I'm sorry.
00:39:29You should think about starting university in the fall.
00:39:32First you must have your degree.
00:39:34It's good to take a break, but then you have to start...
00:39:36Did you hear me?
00:39:38I don't want to know.
00:39:39I want you to know.
00:39:42His name is David.
00:39:43We always end up in the same place.
00:39:45If we can't reach a different conclusion, let's not engage in the discussion.
00:39:48Don't you understand?
00:39:49When I'm with him, I feel good.
00:39:52He treats me well.
00:39:55He's funny and intelligent.
00:39:56Enough, I'm serious.
00:39:57I don't want to hear it.
00:39:58You know that's not true.
00:39:59I spent the last year listening to you, and for the first time in your life you're going to listen to me.
00:40:03I feel good when I'm with David.
00:40:05But if he touches me in public, oh God, forgive me, he kisses me.
00:40:10I'm leaving.
00:40:13I'm ashamed.
00:40:13Because you know it's not right.
00:40:15You taught me that I was wrong.
00:40:16I'm not the one saying it.
00:40:17The Bible says so.
00:40:19It's not the Bible.
00:40:20It's you.
00:40:21Why don't you admit it?
00:40:22Why don't you admit that you can't stand who I am?
00:40:25What you've become.
00:40:27What I am, Mom.
00:40:29I'm sorry I'm not the perfect little Bobby you always wanted me to be.
00:40:33But I can't apologize for that, Mom.
00:40:36Accept me as I am or forget me.
00:40:38I will not have a homosexual son.
00:40:42So, Mom, you won't have a son.
00:40:43Perfect.
00:40:53Bobby.
00:41:06Did you think he was going to change?
00:41:11He was serious.
00:41:15He was serious.
00:41:21I really want you to be happy.
00:41:25And I think you're wonderful.
00:41:28Regardless of the fact that she will never accept it.
00:41:32Your life will be very lonely because you will never be welcome here.
00:41:36Not at Christmas, not at Thanksgiving, nothing.
00:41:49Don't worry about Mom.
00:41:51He'll understand.
00:41:53I won't bet on it.
00:41:56What do you have?
00:41:59Parachuting pants?
00:42:04Thank you.
00:42:08I'll send you my novel when I write it.
00:42:15Goodbye, Buffy.
00:42:17Take care, okay?
00:42:18Drive carefully.
00:42:21Take care of yourself.
00:42:28Take care of yourself.
00:42:32Take care of yourself.
00:42:54Dr. Ranjit, the surgery.
00:43:14Most of the cases of venereal diseases we find today
00:43:18They seem to be focused on the homosexual community.
00:43:21And the AIDS phenomenon is becoming known in all media outlets
00:43:25like the disease of homosexuals.
00:43:41Wow, your mom remembered your birthday.
00:43:46No credit card, a sweater and AIDS, the wrath of God.
00:43:51Wow, happy birthday.
00:43:54You can't expect anything different from her, Bobby.
00:43:57It's not going to change.
00:43:58Birthdays were important to us.
00:44:02We are not ourselves anymore.
00:44:06I can't get it out of my head.
00:44:11David arrived.
00:44:14Let's talk later.
00:44:26Are you sure it's okay?
00:44:27They'll love you.
00:44:32Walking.
00:44:35Dad, did you have to tell that story?
00:44:37I thought I had to do it.
00:44:39Yeah.
00:44:40And I have another dozen similar ones.
00:44:42Yes, you're interested, Bobby.
00:44:44Oh, no. Thank you.
00:44:45Sure?
00:44:47So, Bobby, tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:44:49You grew up in Walnut Creek, right?
00:44:51Baby says your family is very close.
00:44:53Yeah.
00:44:54How have your parents reacted to you being gay?
00:44:57Not good.
00:45:00Well, it might be difficult at first, but they'll accept it.
00:45:03You seem like a wonderful young man.
00:45:05I'm sure they love you.
00:45:08Good.
00:45:09I'll drink to that.
00:45:10Yes, let's make a toast.
00:45:11It was a pleasure meeting you, Bobby.
00:45:14So, what are we going to do later?
00:45:16It's a sin.
00:45:17It's not natural.
00:45:19You will ruin your life.
00:45:20It's a sin.
00:45:22Very good.
00:45:22So, someone wants dessert...
00:45:24Why do you still prefer this, Bobby?
00:45:26Great.
00:45:27Thank you.
00:45:28It's a sin.
00:45:29It is an abomination.
00:45:31It's not natural.
00:45:32Sometimes it hurts.
00:45:35I am scared and alone.
00:45:38I'm sure I love you.
00:45:41I am lost.
00:45:46I am slowly sinking into a very deep lake.
00:45:50A bottomless pool.
00:45:52I wish I could crawl under a rock and sleep forever.
00:46:08He is in contact with David.
00:46:09I am not at home at the moment.
00:46:11Please leave your message after the tone.
00:46:13I will respond to your message immediately.
00:46:16Hi David.
00:46:17Speak, Bobby.
00:46:20I thought that...
00:46:23You would be at home.
00:46:26I really need to talk to someone and I was hoping to find you.
00:46:33And please, dear sir,
00:46:36continues to condemn the center of Bobby's sin.
00:46:45Move.
00:46:57May he find his way.
00:46:59The path to purity and what is right.
00:47:21The chapters of Bobby's sin planning.
00:47:21And please, dear officer, how did they manage a few meters by using some kind of leopard light?
00:47:26There is a lot of reality.
00:47:28Please, leave...reason,
00:47:44Leave strong and
00:47:44Know. Account 123 of
00:47:46My Latvian. Please,
00:47:46Leave the avenue. Leave the light of
00:47:47Please, I'll leave 10 million karena from ANY всего.
00:47:47It is a sin.
00:47:49It's not natural.
00:48:11Parachuting pants?
00:48:14And don't be afraid to face it.
00:48:17Personally, I believe that people should love whomever they want.
00:48:20Do you think he is homosexual?
00:48:22Bobby, we are your family.
00:48:23We'll sort it out.
00:48:24I know that if we trust in God, we can solve it.
00:48:26It is curable with your help.
00:48:28How have your parents taken the fact that you are gay?
00:48:30And I must take care of you.
00:48:32Why do you keep choosing that?
00:48:35You are truly beautiful.
00:48:36But they will accept it.
00:48:38It wasn't the right time.
00:48:40I will not have a homosexual son.
00:48:52You will be late for school.
00:48:54You fell asleep.
00:48:55Okay, then we'll both be late.
00:48:58I'll wait for you in the car.
00:48:59Yeah.
00:49:00Hello?
00:49:04Janet, what's wrong?
00:49:11What's happening?
00:49:13No.
00:49:14What's happening?
00:49:15Get out of here!
00:49:17Dad!
00:49:19Dad!
00:49:21What's happening?
00:49:23Hello?
00:49:26How are you, Janet?
00:49:29Mary, they're waiting for you at the door.
00:49:32They want you to bring your bag.
00:49:34Perhaps one of the children needs money.
00:49:36Can't you rest?
00:49:37Boys will always be like that.
00:49:39I need a break.
00:49:41Bye bye.
00:49:43Bye bye.
00:49:53Bye bye.
00:50:02What's happening?
00:50:07Bobby committed suicide.
00:50:10That?
00:50:13He jumped off a bridge.
00:50:16Died.
00:50:23Help me.
00:50:29Help me.
00:50:30For God's sake, let me out.
00:50:34Let me out.
00:50:35My son is dead.
00:50:37Let me out.
00:50:40I'm sorry.
00:50:49Listen, Joey.
00:50:50Speak more slowly.
00:50:51What's happening?
00:50:52What's happening?
00:51:08What's happening?
00:51:21No.
00:51:51Thanks love.
00:52:08The death of a loved one is always tragic.
00:52:11But the death of a young person is particularly painful.
00:52:15Because that person had their whole life ahead of them.
00:52:18Bobby was only 20 years old.
00:52:21We will never know what he could have been or what he could have achieved.
00:52:25He was a good young man, but he was lost.
00:52:29And by giving in to temptation, he went astray.
00:52:34Then, disillusioned, he chose to end his life.
00:52:40Now we condemn the sin, not the sinner.
00:52:45It was this sin to which Bobby succumbed.
00:52:49It led to his unhappiness and to taking his own life.
00:52:54Just as goodness attracts goodness, so too does evil attract evil.
00:53:02Does this seem okay to you?
00:53:32You've run out of odd numbers.
00:53:34Mom, do you think Bobby survived?
00:53:37Don't know.
00:53:39Suicide is a sin.
00:53:41But perhaps God knew that Bobby was not in his right mind.
00:53:44Why would God allow Bobby to go to hell if it was within His power to cure him?
00:53:50I don't know, Mary.
00:53:52Control yourself.
00:53:53People already feel quite uncomfortable.
00:54:04Thank you for coming.
00:54:06I'm sorry.
00:54:15Mrs. Griffith, Mr. Griffith, it's David.
00:54:20David, I was friends with Bobby.
00:54:25I want to offer you my condolences.
00:54:44He was an incredible young man.
00:54:53I'm sorry.
00:55:18Aunt Mary.
00:55:20David is a good person.
00:55:21All of Bobby's friends are.
00:55:24When Bobby lived here, we had him under control.
00:55:27Then he moved to Portland and someone put all those ideas in his head.
00:55:31That wasn't the case.
00:55:32David cared about Bobby.
00:55:33We were his family.
00:55:35We knew how to help him.
00:55:36I wanted to change, to get closer to God.
00:55:38Get closer to you.
00:55:39Then he immersed himself more and more in that lifestyle and could no longer get out.
00:55:43Do you believe everything they tell you in church?
00:55:46I know you and Uncle Bob loved him, but that sermon...
00:55:49Bobby knew the consequences of his homosexual lifestyle.
00:55:52Bobby was good.
00:55:53Decent and wonderful.
00:55:55Someone who didn't know him stood there and condemned him, and you let it happen.
00:56:00Bobby did everything he could to make you accept him.
00:56:03He was kind, intelligent, and funny.
00:56:06They should praise him.
00:56:09I'm sorry you can't see it that way.
00:56:12You must leave.
00:56:14Well.
00:56:17Leave your things in the room.
00:56:58Leave your things in the room.
00:57:08Bobby!
00:57:09Hi, Mom.
00:57:11Don't do it again.
00:57:14Bobby knew it wasn't true.
00:57:16I knew God would bring you home again.
00:57:19Mom, don't worry.
00:57:23No.
00:57:24No.
00:57:31Yeah.
00:57:42No.
00:57:44No.
00:57:46No.
00:57:47No.
00:57:47No.
00:57:49No.
00:57:58I'm lost, I'm slowly sinking into a very deep lake
00:58:01A bottomless pool
00:58:02I wish I could crawl under a rock and sleep forever
00:58:06Nobody understands me
00:58:08Nobody in this house can accept my side of the story
00:58:11I can see the eyes of God looking upon me with favor.
00:58:14I can't let anyone find out I'm not straight
00:58:17It would be humiliating
00:58:18My friends would hate me, and so would my family.
00:58:22Mother
00:58:23I heard them talking
00:58:24Thank you
00:58:26They said they hated gay people and that even God hated me.
00:58:30It scares me a lot to hear them talk like that because now they're talking about me.
00:58:34I don't want to choose sin, I don't want it.
00:58:38I'm so angry and frustrated
00:58:41God, I think I'm at the end of my rope.
00:58:44Why is he silent?
00:58:47May 30
00:58:49Barbecue at home
00:58:51I had a lot of fun
00:58:52Mom had fun
00:58:55She was very happy, just like the old mom.
00:58:57For a second I felt like everything was back to normal
00:59:00She smiled at something I said to her
00:59:01And in her eyes I saw that for a second she forgot what she thought of me
00:59:07Anger never erupts
00:59:09That timid nature will never let the storm happen
00:59:14But it's there on the horizon
00:59:17I can feel God's eyes looking at me with compassion.
00:59:20But he can't help me
00:59:22Because I chose sin over righteousness
00:59:52Excuse me
00:59:54Are you okay?
00:59:56Yes, wonderful
00:59:57I think we all feel great, isn't that obvious?
00:59:59Ed
01:00:00We have to face this as a family
01:00:02You told Bobby that too, but it didn't work
01:00:06Curse
01:00:08I will go
01:00:09I'll go, excuse me.
01:00:16Come on Nancy
01:00:40Hey
01:00:46Would you like to go for a beer?
01:00:49EITHER
01:00:50No
01:00:57He didn't even think about what it would mean for us.
01:01:01He could have called
01:01:04Anything
01:01:06But he got his revenge, didn't he?
01:01:08Ed
01:01:08Nothing
01:01:09Not a goodbye, not a note, nothing
01:01:17I'm sorry, Bobby
01:01:19I'm sorry
01:01:22Are you happy now?
01:01:24Sorry, Bobby!
01:01:26Are you happy now?
01:01:29Ed
01:01:32That's not your fault
01:01:48There must be other bobbies outside.
01:01:52Other young homosexuals
01:01:54They are thinking about taking their own lives
01:01:57Does the church provide them with help?
01:02:02There are other churches that do it
01:02:05Reverend Joseph asked us to come and offer our condolences.
01:02:11We can come back in a few weeks and see how the family is doing.
01:02:14No, they don't understand.
01:02:20I don't know what to do
01:02:23I need to be at peace with this and I can't
01:02:28The man says
01:02:29The unclean will be thrown into the lake of fire
01:02:34Bobby
01:02:36He sinned
01:02:36But he was pure of heart.
01:02:39He never hurt anyone on purpose.
01:02:44Is that enough?
01:02:48Is that enough?
01:02:51It is?
01:02:59Dear God, my relationship with you leaves something to be desired.
01:03:04I've never asked you for anything, I've only given you what I was taught.
01:03:09Your Holy Spirit has taught me much, but now I need to know more.
01:03:21Hey.
01:03:27No, I can't.
01:03:32Good.
01:03:42I think I'll sleep in the living room.
01:04:02Community church.
01:04:05Hello.
01:04:05Okay, okay.
01:04:19Exactly.
01:04:20Yeah.
01:04:21I'm so glad you came.
01:04:23How are you doing?
01:04:24Nice to meet you.
01:04:25I am no longer Reverend Picham.
01:04:28Very good.
01:04:30Ah, that's great.
01:04:31I'm very happy to hear it.
01:04:32Reverend, I am Mary Griffith.
01:04:34Delighted to have her with us.
01:04:36Thank you so much.
01:04:38The Bible says that homosexuality is a sin punishable by death.
01:04:42Do you believe that?
01:04:42There are other interpretations of the Bible, Mrs. Griffith.
01:04:46My son was gay and he committed suicide.
01:04:51Are there other interpretations for that?
01:04:56I'm sorry.
01:05:02What was his name?
01:05:05Bobby.
01:05:07Bobby Griffith.
01:05:10I saw him here a couple of times.
01:05:13To me, Bobby?
01:05:14He always sat far back.
01:05:17Then he stopped coming.
01:05:20I'm truly sorry.
01:05:22You must be...
01:05:23I need answers.
01:05:25I need to know where he is now.
01:05:27Is homosexuality an unforgivable sin?
01:05:31Leviticus 18:22 says that when a man sleeps with another man, it is an abomination.
01:05:37At that time, an abomination did not mean a sin.
01:05:41It meant something dirty.
01:05:43Leviticus also says that eating shellfish is an abomination, as is mixing fabrics.
01:05:47But Leviticus 20:13 says that if a man sleeps with another man, both deserve the death penalty.
01:05:52And then he says the same thing about adultery, about children who disobey their parents.
01:05:58We do not interpret the scriptures literally.
01:06:01In Deuteronomy 22, if a woman is not a virgin on her wedding day, she must be returned to the
01:06:06her father's house to be stoned.
01:06:09So what do you say to the people who come here?
01:06:13To homosexuals?
01:06:14Is homosexuality a good thing?
01:06:17What is something permitted in the eyes of God?
01:06:19I tell you that what I believe is the truth.
01:06:22That God loves them as they are.
01:06:24God's vengeance is great.
01:06:26And also his compassion.
01:06:28I shouldn't teach them that homosexuality is okay.
01:06:32That's not what the Bible says.
01:06:34That only confuses us more.
01:06:36Mrs. Griffith, you can come back during the week to talk more.
01:06:39My door is open, but not to be blamed.
01:06:43OK?
01:06:50Thank you.
01:06:52Thank you.
01:06:56Thank you.
01:06:59Thank you.
01:07:01Thank you.
01:07:21Well, I think we have a beautiful tree, big and leafy.
01:07:26A few empty spaces, like those of your dear old father.
01:07:30Or grandma's.
01:07:33Yeah.
01:07:35Mom, can we hang this on the tree?
01:07:40We should.
01:07:42Yes, I remember when he did it.
01:07:45It was in second grade.
01:07:47In Mrs. Tom's class, I think.
01:07:49He felt so proud of himself.
01:07:54Where do you want to put it?
01:07:57Way up high, so I can see it.
01:08:06Look, they work.
01:08:12I'll go check the cookies.
01:08:39I found the passage he told me about.
01:08:41On stoning to death, from Euteronomy 22.
01:08:45But what about Sodom and Gomorrah?
01:08:47God punished the sin of homosexuality.
01:08:50How do you explain that?
01:08:51I'm glad to see you too, Mary.
01:08:55What is this?
01:08:56It's a garage sale.
01:08:57Homosexuals also have old things.
01:09:01So what about Sodom and Gomorrah?
01:09:05Many scholars believe that the sin was greed, not homosexuality.
01:09:09And it wasn't labeled that way until years after it was written.
01:09:13Do you have the answer to everything, just to justify being homosexual?
01:09:17And their answers prove that I'm wrong.
01:09:20I think we have an impasse here.
01:09:24Reverend, do you think it's right to interpret the Bible however you please?
01:09:28No, of course not.
01:09:29But the Bible was written and interpreted by ordinary men.
01:09:33And many of those interpretations were a reflection of the era in which they lived.
01:09:38Do you feel completely free to question it?
01:09:42Because I believe it is blasphemy.
01:09:45I don't think God cares about questions.
01:09:47Perhaps not all of our answers will excite you.
01:09:50I believe that blind faith is just as dangerous as having no faith at all.
01:09:55I have never questioned my faith.
01:09:57I never had a reason to do it.
01:09:59Sometimes questioning helps strengthen faith.
01:10:05Bobby stopped coming here.
01:10:09I believe the reason was that he never again felt worthy of God's love.
01:10:18And we didn't help him.
01:10:23Mary, have you never heard of Palik?
01:10:25It is a national organization of relatives and friends of homosexuals.
01:10:29Oh, Reverend, that's not for me.
01:10:31I could help her.
01:10:32I could see that she was not alone in this.
01:10:35Goodbye, Reverend.
01:10:36There is a woman in Concord, Betty Lambert.
01:10:38You'll love it.
01:10:39He has a 30-year-old gay son.
01:10:42I only had a few questions.
01:10:44I don't need anything else.
01:10:45Just in case he decides to.
01:10:50This is the pocket of the famous fisherman.
01:10:52More than two million.
01:10:55It's true.
01:10:56There is a passage that says that disobedient children deserve the death penalty.
01:10:59And nobody interprets that literally.
01:11:02What I'm saying is that if the church doesn't interpret it literally,
01:11:07Perhaps homosexuality isn't on the list either.
01:11:10Well, maybe.
01:11:13Don't you think it's important?
01:11:15Mary, you know perfectly well that I was never enthusiastic about interpreting the Bible.
01:11:19It could mean that Bobby is in heaven.
01:11:21Yes, well, it's not here.
01:11:23Good?
01:11:24Why isn't it enough for you?
01:11:26Is that enough for you?
01:11:29Does everything you do make you feel better?
01:11:32What do you want me to do?
01:11:34Should I forget about him?
01:11:36Maybe you can, but I can't.
01:11:38I don't want to forget him, Mary.
01:11:39I want to remember it and then move on, but I can't.
01:11:42Nobody can!
01:11:43Okay, Bob.
01:11:44Just run away like you always do.
01:11:46Why do you never face anything?
01:11:48I see.
01:11:49Perhaps if he had done that, Bobby would still be alive.
01:11:52Is that what you're saying?
01:11:56Aren't you going to answer me?
01:12:05Listen to me, Mary.
01:12:06We both make mistakes, but it's done.
01:12:08He died.
01:12:09No, that won't bring him back.
01:12:11I know!
01:12:13Don't you think I know?
01:12:38Are you Mary?
01:12:39I'm Betty.
01:12:40Hello.
01:12:41Betty Lambert, I'm so glad you called.
01:12:43Please come in.
01:12:46Reverend Winsel told me what happened to Bobby.
01:12:50I truly cannot imagine what it feels like to lose a child like that.
01:12:54How long ago did he die?
01:12:58Six months.
01:12:59Six months.
01:13:00And a few days.
01:13:04Our son was 14 years old when he confessed it to us.
01:13:07Isn't that something young people do?
01:13:11I already knew that.
01:13:14Mothers always know, don't they?
01:13:17And you didn't care?
01:13:19Oh God, of course.
01:13:21I don't think any parent who receives news like that would think...
01:13:26Oh, that's great.
01:13:29Brilliant.
01:13:30Wasn't that the first word that came to my mind?
01:13:35Listen, Mary.
01:13:36Why don't you attend a Palek meeting?
01:13:40No, I can't.
01:13:42I'm not good at speaking in groups.
01:13:44Then don't speak.
01:13:46You know, just come and listen.
01:13:49I think you'll be surprised...
01:13:51How many people thought they were the perfect American family?
01:13:57I'll think about it.
01:14:03Eric was constantly bullied at school.
01:14:06Then they beat him up.
01:14:08Mary, did you come?
01:14:09I won't be staying long.
01:14:10Never mind, come in.
01:14:13She was furious.
01:14:14I spoke to the rector, but he did nothing to the boys who did it.
01:14:18That shocked me.
01:14:20I called them fruits and fairies.
01:14:23I didn't know.
01:14:25It took me a long time to accept Sam.
01:14:28I think I always knew it.
01:14:31I mean, he asked me for a pink Lacoste shirt for his birthday.
01:14:37It was always different.
01:14:39Then he tells me he is homosexual.
01:14:41And what did I do?
01:14:43I took him hunting.
01:14:45He saw the deer and began to shout,
01:14:47Run, Bambi, run!
01:14:51I always knew I could love my son.
01:14:53I never thought I could accept him for who he was.
01:14:58When Jill told me she was a lesbian, I insisted she see a psychiatrist.
01:15:02But when that man suggested electric shocks,
01:15:07I looked at my baby girl and saw the color in her eyes.
01:15:12And I said to myself, this is crazy.
01:15:14Hello, Reverend.
01:15:15Hello, Reverend.
01:15:16Hi guys.
01:15:17Hello, Reverend.
01:15:18It's a pleasure to see you all here.
01:15:20As you may already know, Reverend Whitzel is the pastor of Metropolitan Community Church
01:15:25and he is proposing a gay freedom day to the Walnut Creek council.
01:15:30The city council vote will take place in a month and we need your full support.
01:15:46What do you think?
01:15:52Ah!
01:16:25Ah!
01:16:27Ah!
01:16:31Ah!
01:16:32Eri! What are you doing out here?
01:16:36You're soaked! Come in.
01:16:38I didn't know where else to go.
01:16:46I was sitting there
01:16:48Listening to all the stories
01:16:50About how they always noticed
01:16:55That his son was different
01:16:59Then I had this dream
01:17:03Bobby was a baby
01:17:11My son was always different.
01:17:17Their difference began when we conceived him
01:17:23I knew it
01:17:25I felt it
01:17:29Now I know why God didn't heal Bobby
01:17:33He didn't cure him because
01:17:39There was nothing wrong with him
01:17:44It was me
01:17:47I killed him
01:17:49You didn't kill your son
01:17:51Bobby committed suicide
01:17:52How can God forgive me?
01:17:56How can Bobby forgive me?
01:17:59God has already forgiven you
01:18:01Now you have to forgive yourself
01:18:03I'm sorry
01:18:05I killed my son
01:18:10I killed my son
01:18:12Yeah
01:18:22Dear God
01:18:23Give us something to live on
01:18:25And give to others
01:18:26Whose lives will never be the same
01:18:28For the death of a loved one
01:18:31I didn't choose to have brown eyes
01:18:34And now I realize
01:18:35Bobby didn't choose to be gay.
01:18:37They hate us
01:18:40If you say in your own words
01:18:42Being born without arms is bad
01:18:44And a child is born without arms.
01:18:45So
01:18:46What could that child be thinking?
01:18:48The Pallix organization will meet
01:18:50To discuss
01:18:51I hope she's happy now.
01:18:55Our first point to discuss
01:18:57It's a one-day proposal
01:18:58For homosexual freedom
01:18:59In Walnut Creek
01:19:01Where is Mom?
01:19:03We have a select group
01:19:04To discuss the topic
01:19:05I don't see it
01:19:06The first one up
01:19:07Reverend Witzel
01:19:09For one day only
01:19:11People will be able to celebrate their difference
01:19:13Instead of feeling ashamed
01:19:16We should be ashamed
01:19:17Because God
01:19:18There are so many other people
01:19:20They need our time
01:19:22And pay attention
01:19:23Why are we wasting our time on this?
01:19:26Okay, okay
01:19:27Let's get this straight.
01:19:29It's an insult to decency.
01:19:32And morality
01:19:34We cannot allow
01:19:36That the fabric of our society
01:19:38It breaks
01:19:46I applied to be
01:19:47In the human relations committee
01:19:49They chose the fool Witzel
01:19:51I sent him a letter
01:19:53I told him
01:19:55In our church
01:19:56We sing hymns
01:19:57What do they do with the anthems?
01:19:58In your church?
01:20:00Then unless nobody
01:20:01Is there anything further to add?
01:20:02We adjourned the session
01:20:04To reach a decision
01:20:06But...
01:20:07Hey dad
01:20:08Dad, come here
01:20:10Dad, hurry up!
01:20:11Mom's on TV
01:20:12Homosexuality is a sin
01:20:15Thank you
01:20:16Homosexuals
01:20:17They are condemned to live
01:20:18An eternity in hell
01:20:21If they wanted to change
01:20:23They could be cured
01:20:24Of his evil
01:20:26If they move away
01:20:27From temptation
01:20:28They could be normal
01:20:30Again
01:20:30If only
01:20:31They will try.
01:20:32With much more force
01:20:34They would obtain results
01:20:36Those were the things
01:20:37What did I tell my Bobby?
01:20:38When I discovered
01:20:39That he was homosexual
01:20:40When he told me
01:20:41What was
01:20:42My world was destroyed
01:20:45I did everything I could
01:20:46To cure it
01:20:47From his illness
01:20:50Eight months ago
01:20:51My son
01:20:51He jumped off a bridge
01:20:53And he died
01:20:56I am deeply sorry
01:20:57My lack of knowledge
01:20:58On what it means to be
01:21:01Homosexual or lesbian
01:21:02I see that everything
01:21:03What I was taught
01:21:04And I was told
01:21:05It was the product
01:21:05From fanaticism
01:21:06And dehumanization
01:21:08If I had investigated
01:21:09Beyond
01:21:10From what I was told
01:21:10If there were
01:21:13Listened to more
01:21:14To my son
01:21:15When he opened the door
01:21:16His heart
01:21:18I wouldn't be here today
01:21:19Stopped here
01:21:20In front of you
01:21:20Full of pain
01:21:22I believe God
01:21:24He loved the spirit
01:21:25Loving and good
01:21:26Bobby's
01:21:27In the eyes of God
01:21:29Kindness
01:21:30And love
01:21:30They sum it all up.
01:21:31I didn't realize
01:21:33That each time
01:21:34What he was asking for
01:21:34The eternal curse
01:21:35For the people
01:21:36Homosexual
01:21:37Every time I referred
01:21:38To Bobby and those sick people
01:21:40And perverts
01:21:41That they were a threat
01:21:42For our society
01:21:43Your self-esteem
01:21:45His sense of value
01:21:47They were being destroyed
01:21:49And finally
01:21:50His spirit
01:21:52It broke
01:21:55It wasn't by choice.
01:21:57From God
01:21:58Bobby
01:21:59I got on that
01:22:00Bridge
01:22:01On a highway
01:22:03And jump straight in
01:22:04The path
01:22:04From a truck
01:22:0518-wheeled
01:22:06That he killed him
01:22:07Instantly
01:22:08Death
01:22:10Bobby's death
01:22:10It was the result
01:22:11Straight
01:22:12From ignorance
01:22:12From his parents
01:22:13And the fear
01:22:14That they felt
01:22:15Towards the word
01:22:16Homosexual
01:22:19I wanted to be a writer
01:22:22Their hopes
01:22:24And their dreams
01:22:24They shouldn't have been
01:22:25Snatched
01:22:27But that's what happened
01:22:29There are children
01:22:30Like Bobby
01:22:32Sitting in their
01:22:33Congregation
01:22:34Without you
01:22:36Let them know
01:22:38They listen to them
01:22:40Say
01:22:40Amen
01:22:42And so
01:22:44Coming soon
01:22:44You will silence
01:22:45Their hearts
01:22:46Your prayers
01:22:48Bye
01:22:48Asking for understanding
01:22:49And acceptance
01:22:51And love
01:22:52From you
01:22:54But his hatred
01:22:56And fear
01:22:57And ignorance
01:22:59From the word
01:22:59Homosexual
01:23:00It will silence
01:23:01Those prayers
01:23:03So
01:23:07Before returning
01:23:08To say amen
01:23:09At home
01:23:10Or in the temple
01:23:11Think
01:23:13Think
01:23:14And remember
01:23:15A child
01:23:17He's listening
01:23:23Yes, Mom
01:23:28It was beautiful.
01:23:31He did well
01:23:46He lost
01:23:47They overturned the ordinance
01:23:49We'll try
01:23:50Next year
01:23:51OK?
01:23:52Excellent
01:23:52So
01:23:54Are we going to San Francisco?
01:23:55We would have to do it
01:23:57I don't think that's an option.
01:23:58Well
01:24:00That's ironic.
01:24:04Good
01:24:15We arrived late
01:24:17Just in time
01:24:18This is wonderful
01:24:20Jackie

01:25:38In my thoughts
01:25:41My name is
01:25:42Bobbys
01:25:43I write this
01:25:44With hope
01:25:45That one day
01:25:46Many years
01:25:47From now on
01:25:48May I return
01:25:49And remember
01:25:50What my life was like
01:25:50When I was young
01:25:51And confused teenager
01:25:53Trying to understand
01:25:54Desperately
01:25:55The world
01:25:56Where I lived
01:25:58Another reason
01:25:59Therefore
01:25:59I write this
01:26:00It's because afterwards
01:26:01That he has died
01:26:02Others may have the opportunity
01:26:03From reading about me
01:26:05And to see what it was like
01:26:06My life as a young man
01:27:12December 6th
01:27:13From 1995
01:27:14Mary Griffith
01:27:15He testified before the members
01:27:16From the United States Congress
01:27:18His tireless work
01:27:19Protecting rights
01:27:20From the gay and lesbian community
01:27:22They gave him an important position
01:27:23In the fight
01:27:24For human rights
01:27:28Before saying amen
01:27:30At home
01:27:31Or in the temple
01:27:31Think
01:27:32Think and remember
01:27:34A child is listening
01:27:35Mary Griffith
01:27:37To memory
01:27:38By Bobby Griffith
