00:03:59Ok, fine.
00:04:02Mm-hmm.
00:04:03Yes, I think it suits me.
00:04:05What do you guys think?
00:04:06Grandma, that is a lovely shade of lipstick.
00:04:09Beautiful!
00:04:10Oh, Ed, stop it.
00:04:12Why? What's wrong, Mom?
00:04:13It's disgusting.
00:04:15Just me, queers should all be lined up and shot.
00:04:20Didn't you say that last year about the Giants?
00:04:22What did you say?
00:04:25Never mind.
00:04:27What is this?
00:04:29It's a journal. Like a diary.
00:04:31I don't need any more stuff.
00:04:38Mom?
00:04:39What?
00:04:40I'll go.
00:04:41It's a good thing we didn't get you the pen.
00:04:43We can't take it personally.
00:04:45It's Grandma.
00:04:47You know the rule.
00:04:48She's mean sometimes and then we get a free pass to make fun of her.
00:04:50Poppy, she picks on me.
00:04:52Nobody ever picks on you. You're the favorite.
00:04:55So what's it like to be perfect?
00:04:59I'm perfect?
00:05:01You think I'm perfect?
00:05:03Have you looked in a mirror lately? You're Charlie's next angel, okay?
00:05:09Can I have it?
00:05:12You don't want it.
00:05:13Well, I'm taking it. I can fill this up in a week.
00:05:16Well, come on. Let's go celebrate Grandma's 39th, 39th birthday.
00:05:33Bobby, I'm ready.
00:05:35What?
00:05:36I want to go further.
00:05:40Is something wrong? I thought you'd want to...
00:05:44Here?
00:05:45I mean, this isn't really what I had in mind.
00:05:47Well, it doesn't have to be here.
00:05:50I should go. I have to get up early tomorrow.
00:05:52Is something wrong?
00:05:54I don't think this is going to work.
00:05:56I think we should break up.
00:05:59I thought you liked me. I came to meet your family.
00:06:02I just don't want to get that serious.
00:06:06Well, it doesn't have to be serious, okay?
00:06:09It's not you. It's me.
00:06:11Okay, I'm sorry.
00:06:32I just don't want to get.
00:06:33I'm sorry.
00:06:35I just don't want to get some money.
00:06:38Hey. You want to watch with me?
00:06:40I'm tired.
00:06:41Oh, come on.
00:06:42Who else can I get to watch an old black-and-white movie?
00:06:45Well, you know if it's not John Wayne, your Dad's not interested.
00:06:51Hey, do you want to watch with me?
00:06:54I'm tired.
00:06:55Oh, come on.
00:06:57Who else can I get to watch an old black and white movie?
00:07:00You know, if it's not John Wayne, your dad's not interested.
00:07:03It's really scary.
00:07:08You know, the scene's famous.
00:07:10Really?
00:07:11You know how they got that glass of milk to glow?
00:07:13How?
00:07:14Well, Hitchcock put a light bulb inside the glass so the audience would know the milk is poisonous.
00:07:19No kidding.
00:07:21That's clever.
00:07:22How'd you know that?
00:07:24Because I'm brilliant.
00:07:27You are brilliant.
00:07:28Take it away.
00:07:29I've eaten too much.
00:07:31I think there's something wrong with me.
00:07:33That's for sure.
00:07:37What do you think Mom would do if she found out one of us was a psychopath?
00:07:40What do you mean, if?
00:07:44You know how she's always saying the whole family's going to be together in the afterlife?
00:07:48Well, one of one of us is a sinner.
00:07:54Hey, if you sinned with Michelle, I promise I won't tell.
00:07:57It's not that.
00:07:59I'm just thinking about stuff, you know?
00:08:02I don't think too much.
00:08:03It's dangerous.
00:08:05Which is why I avoid it at all costs.
00:08:08Yeah?
00:08:11I'm glad we talked.
00:08:14Seriously, something wrong?
00:08:17No.
00:08:17All right, because, you know, I'm your big bro.
00:08:21I'm just looking out for you.
00:08:23I'm just looking out for you.
00:08:53Hey, Bobby.
00:08:56Cheryl.
00:08:59Who's not your type?
00:09:01Too much eyeshadow.
00:09:02What's going on with Michelle, huh?
00:09:05We broke up.
00:09:07Talk to you guys later.
00:09:08Not telling the truth?
00:09:15Sometimes I feel like I'm at the edge of a cliff looking down at the crashing surf with nowhere to go but down.
00:09:19I used to have these flying dreams and I was so free.
00:09:25But now as I fly, I'm afraid.
00:09:29There are telephone lines and electrical wires.
00:09:32How painful it would be to run into one.
00:09:34I wonder if I'll ever be free again.
00:09:39Do you eat oysters?
00:09:41When I have them, Master, do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of stairs to be immoral?
00:09:47No, man.
00:09:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:18I want you to come back to your own kind.
00:10:28I beg you to.
00:10:31Is that me or whatever's in the cast?
00:10:35Hello.
00:10:35Bobby!
00:10:49Bobby!
00:10:50Bobby!
00:10:51Hey, Bobby!
00:10:51What did you do?
00:10:52Huh?
00:10:54What did you do?
00:10:54Did you take these?
00:10:55Answer me!
00:10:56No!
00:10:56Is that the truth?
00:10:58I couldn't do it, okay?
00:10:59Get off of me!
00:11:02I wanted to, but I couldn't.
00:11:04What's wrong with you?
00:11:12You know why I couldn't do it?
00:11:16Because it's a sin.
00:11:20Bobby, what are you talking about?
00:11:24I didn't want to go to hell, but I am.
00:11:27Because this is worse.
00:11:29Bobby, you're scaring me.
00:11:31What, what, what's going on?
00:11:34You'd all hate me.
00:11:36I know it.
00:11:37I know that if you guys knew the truth, you'd hate me.
00:11:40Whatever it is, we'll tell Mom.
00:11:43No!
00:11:44No.
00:11:45Mom wouldn't understand, okay?
00:11:46She can't know.
00:11:47Then you have to tell me right now.
00:11:49I'm not like you, Ed.
00:11:56So what?
00:11:57I keep trying.
00:11:59I keep telling myself that one day I'm gonna wake up and it's gonna be different, but it's not.
00:12:05I don't dream about girls like you do.
00:12:11I dream about guys.
00:12:16You're gay?
00:12:17See, you even say it like you hate me.
00:12:21Give me a break.
00:12:22I don't know what to do.
00:12:24Well, we'll tell Mom and Dad.
00:12:26No!
00:12:27No!
00:12:28They can help, Bobby.
00:12:29They always want us to come to them.
00:12:30They can help.
00:12:31I can't, okay?
00:12:34And you're not gonna say anything either.
00:12:37Promise me.
00:12:38Promise me you're not gonna say anything.
00:12:43Ed, promise.
00:12:45Okay.
00:12:47I promise.
00:12:53Mom, if there was something wrong with one of your kids, you always said that we should come to you, right?
00:12:58What'd you do?
00:13:00It's not me.
00:13:01It's Bobby.
00:13:02What is it?
00:13:03I didn't want to tell you, but he was in such bad shape, I'm really worried about him.
00:13:12He thinks he might be homosexual.
00:13:18He's not.
00:13:18He didn't want me to tell you.
00:13:22He was gonna take a bunch of aspirin.
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:27And, you know, he trusted me.
00:13:29You can't go too hard on him.
00:13:30Okay, good.
00:13:31It's good.
00:13:32I'm glad you told me.
00:13:34There's no doubt in my mind that God can handle this.
00:13:37He'll help us.
00:13:39He'll heal Bobby.
00:13:40In order for all of us to be together in the kingdom of heaven, we cannot stray.
00:13:46We can't sin like that.
00:13:47And that is a terrible sin.
00:13:49The Bible calls it an abomination.
00:13:51In Leviticus, if a man lies with another man, they shall both be put to death.
00:13:55I will not risk my family not being together in the next life.
00:13:59Mary, could we please worry about this life before we worry about the next life?
00:14:02Hey, what's going on?
00:14:05Isn't there a problem you need to tell us about?
00:14:09No.
00:14:10Bobby, if there is something wrong, you need to share it with your family.
00:14:15How could you?
00:14:17Bobby, I'm gonna kill you!
00:14:19I'm gonna kill you!
00:14:20Right back, it's not!
00:14:20All right, okay, it's enough!
00:14:22I was worried about you!
00:14:23I trusted you!
00:14:25Shut up now!
00:14:25What was I supposed to do?
00:14:26Go find some homework.
00:14:28Okay?
00:14:29Bobby, we're your family.
00:14:32We can get through this.
00:14:33I know if we trust in God, we can get through this.
00:14:36It's curable with his help.
00:14:37I'm sorry.
00:14:39I can't help it.
00:14:40I don't even want it, Mom.
00:14:41What do I do?
00:14:43Bobby, you're not gay.
00:14:46You probably just, you haven't met a girl that you're really attracted to.
00:14:51Please.
00:14:53Mom, please don't tell anyone.
00:14:54Please.
00:14:55Mom, please don't tell anyone.
00:14:56It's gonna be all right.
00:14:57Okay.
00:14:57It's gonna be fine.
00:15:00Shh.
00:15:07I was worried about you.
00:15:10What was I supposed to do?
00:15:13I'm out of here.
00:15:14Thank you again for joining us.
00:15:20I'm Pastor Raymond Zip.
00:15:21We'll take another call.
00:15:22This is from Melissa in Concord.
00:15:25Thank you, Reverend.
00:15:26I'm a little nervous.
00:15:28My sister made a terrible mistake.
00:15:30She sinned and then died in a tragic car accident.
00:15:33I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit.
00:15:37Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.
00:15:42When the Holy Spirit controls your life,
00:15:45He will produce love, joy, kindness, goodness, and self-control.
00:15:51Does everyone have to know?
00:15:52We're your family.
00:15:54We love you.
00:15:55Mom, have you seen my car, Aaron?
00:15:59We still love you, Bobby.
00:16:18Yeah, thanks.
00:16:19Can I get some privacy?
00:16:19Hi, Mary.
00:16:20Hi.
00:16:25If a homosexual who wants to renounce homosexuality
00:16:43finds a psychiatrist who knows how to cure homosexuality,
00:16:47he has every chance of becoming a person.
00:16:49You're a happy, well-adjusted heterosexual.
00:17:03Do you ever hear any voices?
00:17:06No.
00:17:09Do you ever hear any ringing sounds?
00:17:13No.
00:17:14Is that the phone?
00:17:19That was a joke.
00:17:28So you think you're a homosexual?
00:17:33Bobby, how many girls have you been with?
00:17:35I don't know.
00:17:36Two?
00:17:38Had sexual relations with?
00:17:40Then how do you know for sure?
00:17:41I just have these feelings, you know?
00:17:47I don't mean you know.
00:17:48I mean...
00:17:49I have these feelings.
00:17:50Do you want to be homosexual?
00:17:51I just want to be close with my family again.
00:17:57I feel like I slipped up and now I can't get back.
00:18:03I'm not going to be able to help you if you don't answer my questions.
00:18:04No, I don't want to be this way.
00:18:05I'm going to talk with your mother alone for a minute, okay?
00:18:06She wants to talk to you.
00:18:07She wants to talk to you.
00:18:08I just want to be close with my family again.
00:18:11I feel like I slipped up and now I can't get back.
00:18:15I'm not going to be able to help you if you don't answer my questions.
00:18:23No, I don't want to be this way.
00:18:26I'm going to talk with your mother alone for a minute, okay?
00:18:34She wants to talk to you.
00:18:38He can be cured, right?
00:18:46He has to be willing to really put the work in.
00:18:49Oh, he is. I know he is.
00:18:51And I think it would be good, it would be important to have your husband come join us in therapy.
00:18:58Right.
00:19:00Gotta go.
00:19:04She said we should spend some more time together.
00:19:06Maybe the two of you could spend some quality time together.
00:19:13Yeah, sure.
00:19:19That's all she said for 60 bucks an hour.
00:19:21She also wants the three of us to go to a few sessions together.
00:19:25So it's our fault?
00:19:27I don't know about all that. It's fine if he goes.
00:19:29Bob, I want you to be a part of this. I can't do it alone, okay?
00:19:33I read that homosexuals have sex in public bathrooms and that they recruit children.
00:19:39What are you saying?
00:19:41Do you think Bobby was recruited?
00:19:43Come on, Mary, you're going overboard.
00:19:45You've got to do something about this.
00:19:47I won't lose him.
00:19:53Dear Lord, we ask that you keep Bobby safe from temptation.
00:19:57Please help him return to a pure heart.
00:19:59Do you think this will heal me?
00:20:01You have to trust that God will heal you and that Satan will try to discourage you.
00:20:06Do you trust in God?
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:10Phil, let me go to sleep.
00:20:12When temptation is all around you, faith is not enough.
00:20:22It requires discipline, not just mental, but physical.
00:20:26Who would like to share their story?
00:20:30I used to be so unhappy.
00:20:33I stayed out all night.
00:20:35I talked back to my mother.
00:20:36Since coming here and accepting Jesus as my Savior, I've changed.
00:20:40My mom and I are like best friends now.
00:20:43That's great, Terry.
00:20:45Yeah.
00:20:46The power of prayer and hard work.
00:20:48Bobby, what about you?
00:20:49How are you coming along?
00:20:54Good.
00:20:55Well, you feel better, don't you?
00:20:56I can see it in your eyes.
00:20:58Your hard work has paid off, hasn't it?
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:03Let's sing, shall we?
00:21:04Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved the rest of me.
00:21:20Nothing I do seems to make a difference.
00:21:42I try and act like them, but it feels impossible.
00:21:44It's an awful feeling to believe you could be headed straight for the fires of hell.
00:21:50Even worse is everyone telling you how simple the solution is.
00:21:54They don't know what it is to be in my shoes.
00:21:58I'm running.
00:21:59I'm not eating junk food.
00:22:00Good.
00:22:01Good.
00:22:03Yeah, it's good, but I don't know the point of it.
00:22:06I mean, my face is cleared up, but everything else feels the same.
00:22:09Well, you have to stick with it.
00:22:12Do you like the people in your group?
00:22:14They're okay.
00:22:15This one girl, she...
00:22:16You know, I hope you're taking this seriously.
00:22:18I mean it, I hope you are trying with all your might.
00:22:21I cannot lose you to this.
00:22:24You won't.
00:22:29Have faith.
00:22:35Well, this is going to be fun.
00:22:37When was the last time all the Griffith men went hiking together?
00:22:42Uh, here.
00:22:44Oh.
00:22:56So, how's school?
00:22:58Good.
00:23:01Have you thought about your plans?
00:23:04Well, college.
00:23:05No, I mean, you know, life plans.
00:23:10Well, I'm still thinking of becoming a writer.
00:23:13Listen, Bobby, you've always had a strong imagination, and we've always been to write with that,
00:23:16but you're getting to the age where you're going to have to get practical.
00:23:19Like, pipe dreams, they're great when you're young, but they don't really have a...
00:23:24They don't really have a place in the real world.
00:23:27Right?
00:23:27Do you hear what I'm saying, Ian?
00:23:33Yeah.
00:23:34All right, all right, let's go.
00:23:35Let's move.
00:23:36All right.
00:23:44How'd it go?
00:23:45Well, I'm healed.
00:23:52It was fine.
00:23:54Did you two talk?
00:23:56Yeah, we talked.
00:23:59Well, what'd you talk about?
00:24:01Mary was fine.
00:24:02No, but this is important.
00:24:05This could make him or break him.
00:24:07I did the best I could.
00:24:08Is that all right with you?
00:24:09A lot of times, confusion like Bobby's can be caused by a distant father or an overbearing mother.
00:24:24Well, I had both, and I'm fine.
00:24:27Yeah.
00:24:29Bob.
00:24:30Yeah?
00:24:30You need to participate in this.
00:24:33I'm right here, Mary.
00:24:34I'm in the room.
00:24:36You know?
00:24:36I think I've been a very good father.
00:24:41And maybe you don't know this, but Bobby, I mean, he was never into the stuff that his brother or other boys were into him.
00:24:46You know, he's just not interested.
00:24:48Mm-hmm.
00:24:49So I'm not going to force him.
00:24:50You know?
00:24:55Hi, Bobby.
00:24:56I'm Sheila.
00:25:03Mom, who's that?
00:25:04Sheila is a student in my Sunday school class.
00:25:10You got me a date?
00:25:11You need to go out with lots of girls.
00:25:13Your dad thinks so, too.
00:25:15Can I at least pick my own?
00:25:19Don't do that thing with your art.
00:25:22Have fun.
00:25:24You look nifty.
00:25:25Do you want a brownie for energy?
00:25:26Take them out.
00:25:27No.
00:25:27Hello.
00:25:33Who's this?
00:25:34This is my brother, Ed.
00:25:35Hi.
00:25:35Hi, I'm Sheila.
00:25:36Nice to meet you.
00:25:37Nice to meet you, too.
00:25:38Hi.
00:25:39Oh, hi.
00:25:40Hi.
00:25:40You want to come and meet some of my friends?
00:25:41Yeah.
00:25:47Are you ever going to talk to me again?
00:25:51Look at where it got me.
00:25:54What if she wants me to kiss her goodnight?
00:25:56So you're gay.
00:26:20Watch out, big.
00:26:26Did you tell your friends?
00:26:43Bobby, those aren't my friends.
00:26:44Did you tell everyone I'm gay?
00:26:46I haven't told anyone.
00:26:47Stop being so paranoid.
00:26:48You all hate me for it.
00:26:49I know you don't think I see it, but I do.
00:26:53I gotta go.
00:26:54Bobby.
00:26:54It's three in the morning.
00:27:07Sorry, I lost track of time.
00:27:09Well, where were you?
00:27:14Bobby.
00:27:16You weren't with homosexuals, were you?
00:27:18This is not you.
00:27:23This is temptation working its ways.
00:27:25You have to pray harder if you're going to get well.
00:27:30Good night, Mom.
00:27:33Pray for forgiveness right away.
00:27:35It's fine, girls, but I gotta go.
00:27:58Okay.
00:27:58Here's Bobby.
00:28:01Where's Joe?
00:28:05She had work, so she asked me to pick you up.
00:28:08Thank you.
00:28:09You're welcome.
00:28:11What's with you?
00:28:12What?
00:28:13You think I didn't notice that?
00:28:14You didn't want your friends to see me.
00:28:15Some people wouldn't understand.
00:28:17And now it's so obvious.
00:28:18What did you tell them?
00:28:20Well, look at what you're wearing.
00:28:22And I've told you time after time not to do that thing with your arm.
00:28:27It makes you look like a girl, and you continue to do it.
00:28:30I've always dressed this way.
00:28:31No, you haven't.
00:28:32It's gotten worse.
00:28:34Why are you doing this?
00:28:35I'm trying to help you.
00:28:36No, you're not.
00:28:37You're trying to help you.
00:28:39It's not about me.
00:28:40It's about what people think about you.
00:28:41Imagine if they thought your son was some big queer.
00:28:44What's wrong with you?
00:28:45Stop that.
00:28:47Nice, Mom.
00:28:49Great.
00:28:50Let's go home.
00:28:51I'm walking.
00:28:52No.
00:28:53Where are you going?
00:28:54Come on.
00:29:14I like that jacket.
00:29:16¡Gracias!
00:29:46¡Gracias!
00:30:00I haven't seen you around here before.
00:30:04You are really beautiful.
00:30:12I gotta go.
00:30:13Can I call you?
00:30:16Can I call you?
00:30:19No.
00:30:37Bobby.
00:30:39Don't worry, I was at church.
00:30:46Hi, cousin.
00:30:51I have a name.
00:30:53It's Gorgeous Cousin.
00:30:57So, how long are you here for?
00:30:58Just a day.
00:30:59I'm driving home tonight.
00:31:00I came in to see my dad, but I couldn't resist stopping by.
00:31:04Maybe it's not a choice.
00:31:05Maybe I just can't help it.
00:31:07It's like saying stealing is not a choice.
00:31:10What?
00:31:11Aunt Mary, lunch is delicious.
00:31:13Joy's right, Bobby.
00:31:15The Bible says men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
00:31:21You just won't change, will you?
00:31:23Well, I can't erase what's in the Bible.
00:31:25Personally, I think people should be able to love whoever they want.
00:31:34Did I mention how good lunch is?
00:31:36Even animals know who to do it with.
00:31:40Actually, our dog does it with a pillow.
00:31:42Can we please find something different to discuss?
00:31:45Yeah.
00:31:46Ed, you're up.
00:31:47Why don't you tell us about college?
00:31:49I dropped out of school last week.
00:31:52You what?
00:31:56Well, what about college?
00:31:57I'm not going.
00:32:00Great.
00:32:02What's next?
00:32:04Going to ruin your life?
00:32:06Yeah, well, it's my life to ruin.
00:32:14Is it like this at every meal?
00:32:16Pretty much.
00:32:19You should come up and visit me in Portland.
00:32:21It's so great.
00:32:22I used to envy you.
00:32:25When I'd come here with mom and dad, I always wished your parents were my parents.
00:32:29You all seem so close.
00:32:31Well, that's over with.
00:32:33Hey, I think they love the sinners, not the sin.
00:32:35They should love the son no matter what the sin.
00:32:38Hey, that's good.
00:32:40I'm going to start my own Bible.
00:32:50Think about coming to Portland?
00:32:55Hi, Mrs. Griffith.
00:32:56Is Bobby here?
00:32:57Bobby, you know, it's enough you go God knows where at night, but now you're bringing these devians into my house.
00:33:07It's my house too.
00:33:08And they're my friends.
00:33:09Is that what that boy is?
00:33:11Is it a sin to have friends now too, mom?
00:33:13We have a good time, okay?
00:33:15We go to the Rocky Horror together.
00:33:16Does that mean we're all going to get struck down?
00:33:17You're gay, aren't they?
00:33:18I thought you were getting better.
00:33:20When?
00:33:21When I was miserable, that looked like I was getting better?
00:33:25You're right, mom.
00:33:26I'm doomed just to roast in hell.
00:33:27Don't say that.
00:33:28Well, that's what your Bible says.
00:33:29The Bible also says a person can change.
00:33:31I tried, mom.
00:33:32I can't.
00:33:34Why do you keep choosing this?
00:33:36Why would I choose this?
00:33:38Why would I choose to have my entire family hate me?
00:33:40No, we love you.
00:33:41Can't you see that's why we're doing this?
00:33:43Really, mom?
00:33:44This is what love feels like?
00:33:51Have fun in Portland.
00:33:52Here's a new shirt for your vacation.
00:33:55I hope you like it.
00:34:00Promise me you'll write and call all the time.
00:34:03It's two months.
00:34:07Drive carefully.
00:34:08Don't worry, man.
00:34:11You'll call me when you get to Portland.
00:34:14I had this engraved with your initials.
00:34:22I love you guys.
00:34:31I love you guys.
00:34:35Bye.
00:34:36Have fun in Portland.
00:34:39Bye, mommy.
00:34:40Already I'm glad to be away from Walnut Creek.
00:34:54This feels like a new life.
00:34:56A new day.
00:34:58And I'm going to be a success in every way I can.
00:35:01It is my goal to achieve a sense of pride and worth as a human being.
00:35:05Come on, look at the ladies' night.
00:35:08I want to see it.
00:35:10It feels so polite.
00:35:16Gorgeous cousin.
00:35:18Come on.
00:35:23Welcome to Portland.
00:35:24Trust me.
00:35:44You don't find clubs like this back at home.
00:35:46I see.
00:35:49Woo!
00:35:54Woo!
00:35:56Woo!
00:35:58Woo!
00:36:00Welcome to Wonderland, Kevin.
00:36:01This is amazing.
00:36:03Let's go, Boogie.
00:36:05Woo!

00:39:08So how was Portland?
00:39:10Yeah.
00:39:12Portland is great.
00:39:13Good.
00:39:14I'm thinking of maybe moving there for a little bit.
00:39:17Wow.
00:39:18Moving there?
00:39:18I met someone.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:24A guy.
00:39:29Girls, you know, give me a hand with this.
00:39:35Are we supposed to pretend we didn't hear that?
00:39:38Yes.
00:39:39Bobby, this might not have been the right time.
00:39:43I know.
00:39:44I'm sorry.
00:39:50You should start thinking about college for next fall.
00:39:53You need to get your GED first.
00:39:55I mean, it's okay to take some time off, but then they start to...
00:39:58Did you hear me?
00:39:59I don't want to know.
00:40:00I want you to know.
00:40:03His name is David.
00:40:04We always start at the beginning every time.
00:40:06If we're not going to get anywhere different, let's just not go there.
00:40:09When I'm with him, it feels so good.
00:40:13He treats me well.
00:40:15He's funny and he's smart.
00:40:17Robert, I mean it.
00:40:18I don't want to hear it.
00:40:19You know I don't.
00:40:20I've spent the last year listening to you and you're going to listen to me for once.
00:40:24It feels good when I'm with David, but if he touches me in public or, God forbid, kisses me, I pull away.
00:40:34I feel ashamed.
00:40:35Because you know it's wrong.
00:40:36Because you told me it's wrong.
00:40:38It's not me.
00:40:39It's the Bible.
00:40:40It's not the Bible.
00:40:41It's you.
00:40:42Why can't you admit that?
00:40:44Why can't you admit that you can't stand what I am?
00:40:47What you've become.
00:40:48What I am.
00:40:49I'm sorry I'm not the perfect little Bobby you always wanted, but I can't keep apologizing for it, Mom.
00:40:57Accept me as I am or forget it.
00:40:59I won't have a gay son.
00:41:03Then, Mom, you don't have a son.
00:41:05Bye.
00:41:14Bye.
00:41:19Do you really think she'd change Bobby?
00:41:33She meant it.
00:41:37She meant that.
00:41:42I really want you to be happy.
00:41:46I'm sure that guy's really nice.
00:41:49No matter what, she'll never accept it.
00:41:54It's going to be a lonely life because he will never be welcome here.
00:41:58And for Christmas, Thanksgiving, anything.
00:42:11Don't worry about Mom too much.
00:42:12She'll come around.
00:42:14You're not going to hold my breath.
00:42:18Here you go.
00:42:19Parachute pants.
00:42:26Thanks.
00:42:30I'll send you my first novel when I write it.
00:42:36Bye, Bucktooth.
00:42:39Take care, okay?
00:42:42Drive safe.
00:42:43I'll see you later.
00:43:07Bye, for thețiile of the saw.
00:43:09I want you to ban this.
00:43:09Bye.
00:43:10Bye, for theenpre.
00:43:10Bye.
00:43:11Bye, for the rest.
00:43:11Bye.
00:43:11Bye.
00:43:11Bye.
00:43:12Bye.
00:43:12¡Gracias!
00:43:42Seen to be centered in the homosexual community, and AIDS is becoming known as the Gay Disease.
00:44:02Well, your mom went a lot for your birthday.
00:44:05No card, a sweater, and AIDS, the wrath of God. Wow. Happy birthday.
00:44:14You can't expect anything different from her, Bobby. She's not going to change.
00:44:19Birthdays were always a big deal for all of us.
00:44:23There's just not an all of us anymore. Can't get that through my head.
00:44:32There's David.
00:44:34Talk to you later.
00:44:46You sure this is okay?
00:44:48They're going to love you.
00:44:53Let's go.
00:44:55Dad, did you have to tell that story?
00:44:57Hey, I felt I had to. Yes. And I've got about a dozen more where that came from, if you're interested, Bobby.
00:45:04Oh, no thanks.
00:45:05No.
00:45:06Sure.
00:45:07So, Bobby, tell us more about you. You grew up in Walnut Creek, right? David says you're very close to your family.
00:45:17Yeah.
00:45:18So, how are your parents with you being gay?
00:45:20Well, maybe it's just hard for them at first. They'll come around.
00:45:23You seem like such a wonderful young man. I'm sure they love you.
00:45:29Hey, cheers to that.
00:45:30Cheers to that.
00:45:31Cheers.
00:45:32Cheers.
00:45:33It's great to meet you, Bobby.
00:45:34So, how did you guys meet Eddie?
00:45:36Uh, you don't do that?
00:45:37Yeah.
00:45:38Yeah.
00:45:39Okay.
00:45:40Okay.
00:45:41Okay.
00:45:42Okay.
00:45:43It's a sin.
00:45:44It's not that true.
00:45:45It's not that true.
00:45:46It's not that true.
00:45:47You'll come around.
00:45:48You'll ruin your life.
00:45:49It's a sin.
00:45:50You will never be welcome here.
00:45:51Why do you keep choosing this?
00:45:53Sometimes I hurt so bad, and I'm scared and alone.
00:45:57I'm sure we love you.
00:46:00I am damned.
00:46:03Shh.
00:46:07I'm slowly sinking in a vast lake of quicksand.
00:46:10A bottomless pool.
00:46:12I wish I could crawl under a rock and sleep forever.
00:46:29You've reached David.
00:46:30I'm not here right now, but if you leave a message after the beep, I'll get right back to you.
00:46:34Have a good one.
00:46:37Hey David, it's Bobby.
00:46:38I thought you'd be there.
00:46:44Look, I really need someone to talk to when I was hoping you'd be there.
00:46:49And please, dear Lord, continue to convict Bobby's heart of sin.
00:46:59That he may find his way.
00:47:00The way of purity.
00:47:01The way of the righteous.
00:47:02The way of the righteous.
00:47:04Oh.
00:47:05Fuck.
00:47:06Oh, man.
00:47:07Oh, fuck.
00:47:08Oh, my goodness.
00:47:09Oh.
00:47:11Oh.
00:47:12Oh.
00:47:13Oh.
00:47:14Oh.
00:47:15Oh, man.
00:47:16Oh, man.
00:47:17Oh, man.
00:47:18That he may find his way.
00:47:20The way of purity.
00:47:23The way of the righteous.
00:47:24¿Qué pasa?
00:47:54¿Qué pasa?
00:48:24¿Qué pasa?
00:48:54¿Qué pasa?
00:48:56¿Qué pasa?
00:48:58¿Qué pasa?
00:49:00¿Qué pasa?
00:49:01I won't have a gay son.
00:49:03You're going to be late for school.
00:49:15You're the one who slept in.
00:49:16Okay, well then we're both going to be late for school.
00:49:19Meet you in the car.
00:49:20Okay.
00:49:21Hello?
00:49:25Jeanette, what's wrong?
00:49:33What's wrong?
00:49:34No.
00:49:35What's wrong?
00:49:37Get out of here.
00:49:38Dad!
00:49:39Daddy!
00:49:40Daddy!
00:49:41Hello.
00:49:46Hi, hi Jeanette.
00:49:48Mary, you're being called out front and they said to break your purse.
00:49:52Probably one of the kids needs money again.
00:49:53Get a day off.
00:49:54I need a break anyway.
00:49:55Bye.
00:49:56Bye.
00:49:57I need a break anyway.
00:49:58Bye.
00:49:59I need a break anyway.
00:50:00Bye.
00:50:01Bye.
00:50:24What is it?
00:50:28Probably killed himself.
00:50:29He jumped off a bridge.
00:50:36He's gone.
00:50:44Help me.
00:50:50Help me.
00:50:52My son is dead.
00:50:53Let me out.
00:50:55Let me out.
00:50:57My son is dead.
00:50:58Dad, let me out!
00:51:10Hey, Joy, slow down.
00:51:11What's wrong?
00:51:12I don't know.
00:51:13I don't know, but what's wrong.
00:51:14I don't know.
00:51:18I don't know.
00:51:22Come on.
00:51:23I don't know.
00:51:24I'm going to go.
00:51:25I'm going to go.
00:51:26Why?
00:51:27Oh.
00:52:29Death of a loved one is always tragic
00:52:31But the death of a young person can be particularly painful
00:52:35Because that person had his whole life ahead of him
00:52:39You know, Bobby was only 20 years old
00:52:41We'll never know who he could have been
00:52:43Or what he could have accomplished
00:52:45And Bobby was a good young man
00:52:48But he was lost
00:52:49By giving in to temptation
00:52:52He strayed
00:52:54Then
00:52:55Disillusioned
00:52:57He chose to end his life
00:53:00And we know to condemn the sin
00:53:03Not the sinner
00:53:05It was this sin
00:53:08That Bobby succumbed to
00:53:09It led to his unhappiness
00:53:12And it led him
00:53:14To take his own life
00:53:16As goodness begets goodness
00:53:20So does sin begets sin
00:53:22They're okay with this
00:53:25You're running low
00:53:41No, no, no, no.
00:54:11I don't know, Mary. Pull yourself together.
00:54:15People are uncomfortable enough.
00:54:26Thank you for coming home.
00:54:28I'm so sorry for bringing you up.
00:54:30Yes, sir.
00:54:37Mrs. Griffith. Mr. Griffith.
00:54:39I'm David.
00:54:42I was a friend of Bobby's.
00:54:46I wanted to offer my condolences.
00:54:48He was an amazing young man.
00:55:07I'm so sorry.
00:55:16Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:55:24I'm sorry.
00:55:25I'm so sorry.
00:55:37¿Qué pasa?
00:56:07I know you and Uncle Bob meant well, but that sermon...
00:56:10Bobby knew the repercussions of a homosexual lifestyle.
00:56:13Bobby was good and decent and kind.
00:56:16Someone who didn't even know Bobby stood up there and condemned him, and you let him.
00:56:22Bobby did everything he could to make himself acceptable to you.
00:56:24He was so good and bright and funny.
00:56:27He should be praised.
00:56:30I'm sorry you can't see it that way.
00:56:33Maybe you should go.
00:56:36Fine.
00:56:38I left Bobby's things in his room.
00:56:39I left Bobby's room.
00:56:40Thank you.
00:56:42Thank you.
00:56:43Gracias.
00:57:13Bobby.
00:57:17Hey, Mom.
00:57:19Don't you ever do that again.
00:57:21God, I knew it wasn't true.
00:57:24I knew God would bring you back to me.
00:57:27Mom, you worry too much.
00:57:29Oh.
00:57:30Mom.
00:57:31Oh.
00:57:32Don't you ever do that again.
00:57:34God, I knew it wasn't true.
00:57:36I knew God would bring you back to me.
00:57:39Mom, you worry too much.
00:57:41Oh.
00:57:42Oh.
00:57:47Oh.
00:58:00I'm slowly sinking in a vast lake of quicksand.
00:58:21A bottomless pool.
00:58:23I wish I could crawl under a rock and sleep forever.
00:58:26No one understands me.
00:58:29No one in this house can accept my side of the story.
00:58:32I can feel God's eyes looking down on me with pity.
00:58:35I can't ever let anyone find out I'm not straight.
00:58:37It would be so humiliating.
00:58:39My friends would hate me.
00:58:41And my family.
00:58:43Mom.
00:58:44I've overheard them.
00:58:45Mom, thank you.
00:58:46They've said that they hate gays.
00:58:48And even God hates gays.
00:58:50It really scares me when they talk that way because now they are talking about me.
00:58:55I don't want to choose sin.
00:58:57I don't.
00:58:58I am so mad and frustrated, God.
00:59:01I seem to be at the end of the road.
00:59:04Why do you remain silent?
00:59:07May 30th.
00:59:09Memorial Day barbecue.
00:59:11Had fun.
00:59:13Mom was her sweet and funny self.
00:59:15Like the old mom.
00:59:17For a second it felt like the old days.
00:59:20She smiled at something I said.
00:59:22And I saw in her eyes that for a second she forgot what she really thinks of me.
00:59:28The anger never erupts.
00:59:30My timid nature would never allow a full-fledged thunderstorm to occur.
00:59:34But it's there on the horizon.
00:59:37I can feel God's eyes looking down on me with such pity.
00:59:41He can't help me though.
00:59:43Because I have chosen sin over righteousness.
00:59:47Things will get better.
00:59:48Just give it time.
00:59:49Give it time.
00:59:50But it ain't easy.
00:59:53Excuse me.
00:59:54You all right Ed?
00:59:56Oh yeah, I'm fantastic.
00:59:57I think we all are.
00:59:58Isn't that obvious?
00:59:59Ed, we have to deal with this as a family.
01:00:00That was your answer for Bobby too, but it didn't work.
01:00:01Damn it.
01:00:02Oh, go, go, go, go.
01:00:03Excuse me.
01:00:04Excuse me.
01:00:05You all right Ed?
01:00:06Oh yeah, I'm fantastic.
01:00:07I think we all are.
01:00:08Isn't that obvious?
01:00:09Ed, we have to deal with this as a family.
01:00:23That was your answer for Bobby too, but it didn't work.
01:00:26Damn it.
01:00:27Oh, go, go, go.
01:00:30Excuse me.
01:00:31Come on Nancy.
01:00:37Come on Nancy.
01:01:00Hey.
01:01:01You want to get out of here and maybe go for a beer?
01:01:09Yeah.
01:01:10Did he even think about what it would do to us?
01:01:21I mean he could have called something, but it would just screw us, right?
01:01:28Yeah.
01:01:29And nothing.
01:01:30No, no goodbye.
01:01:31No note.
01:01:32Nothing.
01:01:33Just...
01:01:34I'm sorry.
01:01:38I'm sorry.
01:01:39I'm sorry.
01:01:40Are you happy now?
01:01:41I'm sorry Bobby!
01:01:42Are you happy now?
01:01:43Yeah.
01:01:44It's not your fault.
01:01:50Yeah.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52It's not your fault.
01:01:53Yeah.
01:01:54Okay.
01:01:55There must be other Bobby's out there, other young gay people who may be thinking of taking
01:02:16their lives.
01:02:17Does the church reach out to them?
01:02:23There are other churches that do that.
01:02:26Reverend Joseph asked us to tell you how sorry he is for your loss.
01:02:31We could come back in a couple of weeks and check in on your family.
01:02:35You don't understand.
01:02:36I...
01:02:41I don't know what to do.
01:02:44I need to make peace with this and I can't.
01:02:49The Lord says the impure will be thrown into the lake of fire.
01:02:55Bobby sinned, but he was pure of heart.
01:03:00He'd never knowingly hurt anyone.
01:03:05Is that enough?
01:03:13Is it?
01:03:19Dear God, my relationship to you leaves something to be desired.
01:03:25I have never asked of you, only given as I was told.
01:03:29Your Holy Spirit has taught me so much.
01:03:32But now there's more I need to know.
01:03:36Hey.
01:03:41I can't.
01:03:46Okay.
01:03:47I think I'm gonna sleep in the living room.
01:03:51Okay.
01:03:52I think I'm gonna sleep in the living room.
01:04:04I can't sleep in the living room.
01:04:05I can't sleep in the living room.
01:04:06I can't sleep in the living room.
01:04:11Okay.
01:04:12Get in the living room.
01:04:21Thank you so much.
01:04:26No, no, no, no.
01:04:56Nice to have you with us, Mary.
01:04:58The Bible.
01:04:59It says that homosexuality is a sin punishable by death.
01:05:03Do you believe that?
01:05:04There are other interpretations of the Bible, Mrs. Greff.
01:05:07My son was gay, and he killed himself.
01:05:12Is there another interpretation of that?
01:05:17I'm sorry.
01:05:23What was his name?
01:05:27Bobby?
01:05:28Bobby Griffith?
01:05:32I saw him here a couple of times.
01:05:34My Bobby?
01:05:36He always sat way in the back.
01:05:39And he stopped coming.
01:05:41I am so sorry.
01:05:43You must be.
01:05:44I need answers.
01:05:46I need to know where he is.
01:05:48Is homosexuality an unforgivable sin?
01:05:52Leviticus 18.22 says, if a man lies with another man, it is an abomination.
01:05:58An abomination in that time didn't mean sin.
01:06:01It meant unclean.
01:06:03Leviticus also goes on to, say, eating shellfish is an abomination, or mixing fabrics.
01:06:08Leviticus 20.13, if a man lies with another man, they both shall be put to death.
01:06:13And then he says the same thing about an adulterer or a child that disobeys their parents.
01:06:19And we certainly don't interpret that scripture literally.
01:06:21In Deuteronomy 22, if a woman is not a virgin on her wedding day, she shall be taken to her father's house and stoned to death.
01:06:29So what do you tell people who come here, gay people, that homosexuality is okay, that it is permissible in God's eyes?
01:06:41I tell them what I believe to be the truth, that God loves them as they are.
01:06:46God's vengeance is great.
01:06:48So is his compassion.
01:06:49You shouldn't teach them that homosexuality is okay.
01:06:53That's not what the Bible says.
01:06:55It just confuses them more.
01:06:57Mrs. Griffith, if you would like to come back during the week and talk, my door is open, but not to be blamed.
01:07:04Okay?
01:07:27Well, I think we got a pretty good one.
01:07:45It's nice and full.
01:07:48A couple of bald spots, kind of like your dear old dad.
01:07:50Or grandma.
01:07:51Mom, can you hang this one on the tree?
01:08:01We should.
01:08:03I remember when he made this.
01:08:06Second grade.
01:08:08Mrs. Tom's class, I think.
01:08:11He was so proud of himself.
01:08:12Where do you want to put it?
01:08:17Um, up high.
01:08:19So he can look out.
01:08:28Hey, they work.
01:08:34I'm gonna go check on the cookies.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:36Okay.
01:08:36Okay.
01:08:36Okay.
01:08:37Okay.
01:08:37Okay.
01:08:38Okay.
01:08:38Okay.
01:08:39Okay.
01:08:40Okay.
01:08:40Okay.
01:08:41I found the passage you talked about, about stoning to death, Deuteronomy 22.
01:09:06But what about Sodom and Gomorrah?
01:09:09God punished the sin of homosexuality.
01:09:11How do you explain that?
01:09:13It's nice to see you too, Mary.
01:09:16What's this for?
01:09:17It's a rummage sale.
01:09:20Oh, gay people have rummage too.
01:09:23So, what about Sodom and Gomorrah?
01:09:26Many scholars think the sin was greed and not homosexuality.
01:09:30And it wasn't labeled homosexuality until years after it was written.
01:09:34Do you have answers for all these things just to justify being that way?
01:09:38Well, your answer is to justify that it's wrong.
01:09:40I guess we're at an impasse here.
01:09:43So, you think it's okay to interpret the Bible any way you want?
01:09:49No, of course not.
01:09:50But the Bible was written and interpreted by mortal men.
01:09:54And many of those interpretations were reflections of the time in which they lived.
01:09:58So, you feel completely free to question it?
01:10:03Because I think it's blasphemous.
01:10:06I don't think God minds questions.
01:10:09He might not be thrilled with all of our answers.
01:10:12I think blind faith is just as dangerous as none at all.
01:10:16Well, I've never questioned my faith.
01:10:18I've never had reason to.
01:10:20Sometimes to question it helps you find a deeper faith.
01:10:27Bobby stopped coming here.
01:10:28I think the reason was he could never allow himself to feel worthy of God's love.
01:10:40And we didn't help.
01:10:42Mary, have you ever heard about P-Flag?
01:10:47It's a national organization.
01:10:48It's Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
01:10:51That's not for me.
01:10:52It could help.
01:10:53You'd be able to see you're not so alone in this.
01:10:56Bye, Reverend.
01:10:57No, now there is a woman in Concord, Betty Lambert.
01:11:00You'll love her.
01:11:01She has a gay son in his 30s.
01:11:04I just had a few questions.
01:11:05I don't need anything else.
01:11:07Just in case.
01:11:11Pope Hill's famous pocket fisherman.
01:11:14Over two million...
01:11:15It's true.
01:11:15There's a passage that says if children are disobedient, they should be put to death.
01:11:20And I mean, no one interprets that literally.
01:11:22Mm-hmm.
01:11:23What I'm saying is, if the church no longer interprets that literally, maybe homosexuality is also on that list.
01:11:32Maybe.
01:11:34Well, don't you think that's important?
01:11:37Mary, I wasn't all that keen on the first interpretation of the Bible.
01:11:39Well, it could mean that Bobby's in heaven.
01:11:43Yeah, well, he's not here.
01:11:45All right?
01:11:45Why isn't that enough for you?
01:11:47Is it enough for you?
01:11:51Does it make it any better, everything you're doing?
01:11:54Well, what do you want me to do?
01:11:55Just forget about him?
01:11:57I can't do that.
01:11:58Maybe you can.
01:11:59I don't want to forget about him, Mary.
01:12:00I want to remember him, and then I want to move on.
01:12:02But I can't.
01:12:03Nobody can.
01:12:03Just walk away, you know, like you always do.
01:12:07You never deal with anything.
01:12:09Oh, I see.
01:12:09Maybe, maybe if I did, Bobby would still be alive today.
01:12:13Is that what you're saying, Mary?
01:12:13Is that what you think?
01:12:17You can answer me?
01:12:25Listen, Mary.
01:12:27We both made mistakes.
01:12:28We all made mistakes.
01:12:29But it's done.
01:12:29He's gone.
01:12:30We're not going to bring him back!
01:12:31I know that!
01:12:35Don't you know I know that!
01:12:59Mary?
01:13:00I'm Betty.
01:13:01Hello.
01:13:02Betty Lambert.
01:13:03I'm so glad you called.
01:13:05Please, come in.
01:13:07Reverend Witzel told me what happened to Bobby.
01:13:10I can't imagine what it must feel like to lose a child like that.
01:13:15How long has it been?
01:13:18Um, six months.
01:13:21Six months and a few days.
01:13:23Our son was 14 when he came out to us.
01:13:28Isn't that a little young?
01:13:30Oh.
01:13:32I knew before then.
01:13:35We mothers, we always know, don't we?
01:13:38And you were okay with it?
01:13:39And you were okay with it?
01:13:40Oh, God, no.
01:13:41I don't think any parent hears the news and thinks, oh, Goody.
01:13:50Goody wasn't the first word that came to my mind.
01:13:53Mary, why don't you come to a PFLAG meeting with me?
01:14:01No, I'm not good at talking in groups.
01:14:05So don't talk.
01:14:08No, just come and listen.
01:14:10I think you'll be shocked at how many people think they were the all-American family.
01:14:18I'll think about it.
01:14:24Eric was taunted at school all the time.
01:14:28Then he got beat up.
01:14:29Mary, you came.
01:14:30I can't stay long.
01:14:31That's all right.
01:14:32Come on in.
01:14:33I'm so furious.
01:14:34I went to the principal.
01:14:35But he didn't do a thing to the boys who did it.
01:14:39I was shocked by that.
01:14:42I called them fruits and fairies.
01:14:45I didn't know.
01:14:47It took me a long time to accept my Sam.
01:14:51I think I always knew.
01:14:53I mean, he asked for a pink Lacoste shirt for his birthday.
01:14:58He's always different.
01:15:00So he tells me he's gay.
01:15:02And what do I do?
01:15:04I take him hunting.
01:15:05There he is in his pink Lacoste shirt.
01:15:07He saw a deer and yelled, run, Bambi, run.
01:15:11I always knew I could love my son.
01:15:15I never thought I could accept him for who he is.
01:15:18Well, when Jill told me she was gay, I insisted she see a psychiatrist.
01:15:23But when that man suggested shock therapy, I looked at my baby and the hurt in her eyes.
01:15:32And I thought, this is crazy.
01:15:35Oh, hello, Reverend.
01:15:36Please, come sit down.
01:15:38Hi, guys.
01:15:39Nice to see all of you here tonight.
01:15:41As you may know, Reverend Witzel is pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church.
01:15:47And he's proposing a gay freedom day to the Walnut Creek City Council.
01:15:51The city council vote happens in about a month.
01:15:55And I would love all your support.
01:15:57And I would love all your support.
01:16:27Mary, Mary, what are you doing out here?
01:16:57You're so cumminside.
01:16:59I didn't know where else to go.
01:17:07I was sitting there, listening to all their stories.
01:17:13About how they always just knew their kid was different.
01:17:18And then I had this dream tonight.
01:17:25Bobby was a baby.
01:17:32My son was always different.
01:17:36His difference began at conception.
01:17:44I knew that.
01:17:47I felt it.
01:17:48I know now why God didn't heal Bobby.
01:17:56He didn't heal him because there was nothing wrong with him.
01:18:03I did this.
01:18:09I killed my son.
01:18:11You did not kill your son.
01:18:12Bobby killed himself.
01:18:14How can God forgive me?
01:18:16How can Bobby forgive me?
01:18:20God has already done the forgiving.
01:18:23You have to forgive yourself.
01:18:24Oh.
01:18:25I'm so sorry.
01:18:31I'm so sorry.
01:18:33Dear God, give us something we can live with and pass on to others whose lives will never be the same because of a loved one's death.
01:18:51I did not decide on brown eyes for myself.
01:18:56And I now realize that Bobby did not decide to be gay.
01:18:59If you say in your word that it is evil and wicked to be born with no arms, and a child is born with no arms, what is that child to think?
01:19:10The key flag organization for parents looking for, I hope she's happy.
01:19:14Our first order of business is a proposal for a gay freedom day in Walnut Creek.
01:19:23Attention, please.
01:19:24We have a select group to debate the issue.
01:19:27I don't see her.
01:19:28Next time is Reverend Witzel.
01:19:30For one day, for one day, people can celebrate their difference rather than feel shame.
01:19:36They should be ashamed.
01:19:38There are so many other people who need our time and our attention.
01:19:45Why are we wasting it on this?
01:19:47All right.
01:19:47All right.
01:19:48Let's have some order here, please.
01:19:50They spit in the face of decency and morality.
01:19:55We cannot allow the fabric of our society to be torn apart.
01:20:01Right?
01:20:02I tried to run for the Human Relations Commission.
01:20:11They picked that limp-wristed Witzel instead.
01:20:14I sent them a letter.
01:20:16I said, we sing hymns at our church.
01:20:18What do you do with the hymns at your church?
01:20:20So unless anyone else has anything else to add, we'll adjourn to make our decision.
01:20:26Mary?
01:20:28Hey, Dad!
01:20:30Dad, get in here!
01:20:31Dad, hurry up!
01:20:33Mom's on TV!
01:20:35Homosexuality is a sin.
01:20:38Homosexuals are doomed to spend eternity in hell.
01:20:42If they wanted to change, they could be healed of their evil ways.
01:20:47If they would turn away from temptation, they could be normal again.
01:20:52If only they would try and try harder if it doesn't work.
01:20:57These are all the things I said to my son Bobby when I found out he was gay.
01:21:01When he told me he was homosexual, my world fell apart.
01:21:06I did everything I could to cure him of his sickness.
01:21:11Eight months ago, my son jumped off a bridge and killed himself.
01:21:15I deeply regret my lack of knowledge about gay and lesbian people.
01:21:21If I had investigated beyond what I was told, if I had just listened to my son when he poured his heart out to me, I would not be standing here today with you filled with regret.
01:21:43I believe that God was pleased with Bobby's kind and loving spirit.
01:21:48In God's eyes, kindness and love are what it's all about.
01:21:52I didn't know that each time I echoed eternal damnation for gay people, each time I referred to Bobby as sick and perverted and a danger to our children, his self-esteem, his sense of worth were being destroyed.
01:22:10And finally, his spirit broke beyond repair.
01:22:15It was not God's will that Bobby climbed over the side of a freeway overpass and jumped directly into the path of an 18-wheel truck which killed him instead.
01:22:29Bobby's death was the direct result of his parents' ignorance and fear of the word gay.
01:22:40He wanted to be a writer.
01:22:44His hopes and dreams should not have been taken from him, but they were.
01:22:50There are children like Bobby sitting in your congregations.
01:22:55And that will soon silence their prayers, their prayers to God for understanding and acceptance and for your love.
01:23:16But your hatred and fear and ignorance of the word gay will silence those prayers.
01:23:22So, before you echo amen in your home and place of worship, think, think and remember, a child is listening.
01:23:44Go, Mom.
01:23:52She did good.
01:24:06We lost.
01:24:08They voted the ordinance down.
01:24:10Well, we'll try again next year, all right?
01:24:14So, we're really going to San Francisco, huh?
01:24:17I think we have to.
01:24:18I don't think it's a choice.
01:24:19Well, that's ironic.
01:24:26Okay.
01:24:33Are we late?
01:24:38Just in time.
01:24:39Just in time.
01:24:41Oh, Jackie, is this everyone?
01:24:42Oh, honey, no.
01:24:44Come with me.
01:24:45We have a special place for you.
01:24:47Okay.
01:24:47We'll be right back.
01:25:15We'll be right back.
01:25:16¡Gracias!
01:25:46And I'm working very hard to make this life a better and safer place for you to live in
01:25:51Promise me you'll keep trying
01:25:54Bobby gave up on love. I hope you won't
01:25:58You were always in my thoughts
01:26:02My name is Bobby Griffith. I write this in hopes that one day
01:26:07Many years from now, I will be able to go back and remember what my life was like when I was a young and confused adolescent
01:26:15Desperately trying to understand myself in the world I live in
01:26:19Another reason I write this
01:26:21So long after I died
01:26:23Others may have a chance to read about me
01:26:26And see what my life as a young person was like
01:26:45Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
