Clip from Prayers for Bobby 

Dead people are dead, they do not meet again. There is only one life, and to waste it because of parents' bigotry is a worse crime than what any religious nonsense defines as sin. Mary Griffith should have died a long time ago. Preferably INSTEAD of her son.

@@cush6827 Amen.

@@cush6827 Mary is human. You act like she’s not. She was ignorant and blind. I’m not saying what she did was inexcusable, but you’re no better than she was if you can’t understand that people make mistakes when they don’t understand. The human race is afraid of what they don’t understand and that’s when they screw up. Again, not excusing her actions, but they’re forgivable. Saying she should have died instead is a messed up mind set. Mary spent the rest of her life punishing herself for what she did to her son. She did her best to advocate for those who are gay to change the mindsets of people who were like she was at one point. She did that to do her son right and try and stop the same thing from happening again. Don’t forget that she’s human.

@@Paige-wo3uk Her actions are inexcusable and NOT forgivable. And you are in fact attempting to excuse what she did. What she did was not some mistake as a slip of the mind, it was the expression of her character's very substance. It was not a question of her understanding but of her choice. And in a society of just one species, being human is never an excuse for anything. Her idiotic religious views are no excuse either. Religion is a fundamentally erroneous worldview, especially abrahamic religion. She wanted her son dead. But objectively, it is better if people like her are dead. The world is better off without homophobes.

@@cush6827 I’m NOT excusing her actions. She’s 100 percent forgivable. You are putting words into my mouth I didn’t say. You can’t say homophobia is her characters substance. Homophobia was the result of her acting out on something she didn’t understand or care to understand. That doesn’t make her excusable. But you’re immature if you think that once a homophobic always a homophobic. This woman changed. And you’re also INSANE to think that she wanted her son dead. She’s a mother. Who cried and felt emotion when her son died. Regret. She changed for him. I’m not saying she was a good mom to him because she want. She was terrible and abandoned her son. But saying she shouldn’t be forgiven is the exact mindset behind why the world is the way it is. People change. People educate themselves and change. I have a family member , also used to be VERY homophobic. Said terrible things which could have easily caused someone to do the same thing. Luckily nothing happened. They became educated and I forgave them. You act like homophobic people aren’t also human. I cannot forget not excuse what that homophobic family member did, but I forgave them because they changed and made an effort to also educate others.

I’m sure you did.

Jonathan B Same here

I can relate!

Feel the same.

Me too.

Hope you're doing ok Johnathan? x

We shouldn't have to go through this nonsense, I hate religion with a passion

You should tell that these people in this video link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V4XgdWDhvQw.html

Tcrack0299 Truthfully, if people really knew what the Bible says, they'd realize that being gay is not what is wrong. Jesus himself said in Matthew 19 that some people are born gay. Sadly, people who read that chapter only focus on the first section about divorce and totally ignore the next section altogether. You see, he speaks about 3 types of eunuchs, one of which being a "born eunuch" was understood in that day to be what we call gay today. Also, Jesus actually blesses a Roman official and his boyfriend, but you would never know because of how the Greek has been erroneously translated. The text says that Jesus offered to go to the officials home and heal his boyfriend, but the official felt unworthy to have Jesus come to his home, and said, Just speak the word and my boyfriend will be healed. And he did so. And Jesus actually commended him for his faith because none of his own people exercised faith like that.

@@jdparamount92 Love god, and he will love you.

@@historyisthebest5831 Yes. I know that.

@@jdparamount92 I think that's precisely what your comment reflects. I indeed fully agree with that.

Especially the ending when Sigourney Waiver character hugs that boy. My god I lost it

You don't need to be healed, the ones that don't understand you are the ones that need to healed, I would so wish I had a partner like you, as the Carpenters song goes "I'll say goodbye to love"

Same

How are you???? This is what I feel rn😭. I’m really sorry

I'm sorry what you went through, no gay person should. The things your mom said are wrong and the men who told you to jump are wrong. I'm no Christian but I'm the kind of person who believes that God loves his children no matter who they are or who they're with. The man who saved you for a reason so you can teach others to accept homosexuality. Who knows, that man was probably an angel.

At least you loved Bobby 😊

Mary forgives you, just as God does. I hope you've found a way to forgive yourself. Mary is with her son, at last, and they are both at peace and happy. May this thought bring you peace.

I hope things have continued to get better for you in the past decade. Much love to you.
