Tonight I was sitting home and watched one of the most heart warming movies i've ever seen.

This movie was called Prayers for Bobby, the movie was based on a true story, about a young man who due to idiotic religious teachings wound up taking his own life because his parents couldn't accept and only wanted to deal with his being Gay, by trying to force him to be straight, instead of opening their ears and hearts with love and compassion and listening to what their son was saying, to them it was more about their place in the life after than their son's place in the here and now.

this was a very moving movie that I would suggest to every one if it is on again on the lifetime channel or another please watch it and take the lessons to heart, as I watched this movie it made me wonder just how many teenagers are feeling the same way this young man felt, having to fight his internal feelings between what he was taught to believe from one mans interpretation of the bible, and his mothers over insistence to those interpretations, I was lucky being a Gay man myself, I came out and didn't care what people thought, if they accepted me or not, I am who I am based on what I feel inside not who I sleep with, being a gay person does not make you any less of a man or woman it does not determine your life or destiny.

the only things in life you choose are your occupations, where you wish to live, and material possession, being gay in a wold so full of hate and bigotry is not something anyone would choose, being a gay man or lesbian woman or bisexual person, even being a person of transgender is something that happens while your still in the womb, not even born yet, which towards the end of this movie, the mother finally realized her son wasn't gay because he choose to be, nor was he sick, or could be as so many claim, be cured, this is not an illness or a sickness, but a fact of life, being gay , lesbian, bi , or transgender is not something you can just take a pill or go talk to a psychologist and suddenly your straight (heterosexual), I feel people need to open their minds and gain some knowledge, before more young people male and female, feel there is no way out accept to take their own lives because their families and friends have such bigoted and hatred attitudes and feelings towards the Gay, Lesbian,Bi and Transgender communities, please reach out to the younger people before more of them take their lives because they feel so desperate to have someone to talk to who will understand .
