-- Prayers for Bobby 为鲍比的祈祷(USA,2009)

True story of Mary Griffith, gay rights crusader, whose teenage son committed suicide due to her religious intolerance.

Bobby Griffith hails from a devoutly Christian family. Lately Bobby's been questioning his own sexuality, and upon confiding this information to his older brother, the news quickly circulates to their parents and other siblings. While Bobby's father and siblings resolve to stand by him despite their opposition to his startling revelation, his mother Mary (Sigourney Weaver) believes that her son is committing a sin, and encourages him to change his ways with the help of the church...When Bobby realizes he'll never live up to his mother's expectations he takes his own life. Devastated, Mary seeks consolation from her pastor but fails to find the answers she's looking for. In time, Mary begins a dialogue with the gay community.

I love this movie as I love her youngest son. =) We can ascertain yourself whether you're straight or otherwise, but we have to believe in exact value of love and family.
