[QUOTE="bran155, post: 237559"] The lifetime movie about a young man who committed suicide because he was gay and couldn't gain acceptance. It was pretty good. Had me crying. It is a true story. A sad story. His parents were so incredibly religious, they just could not accept him for who he was. They tried everything, well really the mother, to change him, "fix" him. He tried to make his mother hear him, really listen to him but she could not see past the Bible. He finally jumped off an overpass into on coming traffic and died instantly. His mother desperately tried to find peace after he passed. She came around and began to fight for the rights of gay and lesbian people. You can read an interview with the real mom on the lifetime website. The story is heartwarming and I think, important. It's so sad that there are so many "Bobbys" of the world, trying to find acceptance and love only to end up desperate and feeling out of options. :( [/QUOTE]
