That is so sad about Bobby. I love God with all my heart, and His word, and being gay is one thing but acting on it is quite another. I feel it is a sin if one takes a partner of the same sex and has an intimate relationship. It is not right, just like fornication and adultery is a sin, but condeming the person is so wrong. God will be the judge in the end.

Kathy- you missed the message of the movie. Your attitudes perpetuate young people not learning to accept who they are. Your attitudes are like the ones of the mother that contributed to Bobby’s death- get a clue

The suicide of Bobby Griffith is a horrific tragedy! I love God and Jesus, I am also gay like Bobby. I had spent many years contemplating suicide when I was younger, because I felt alone, unloved, and unwanted by God and my family, however, I spend time with God, I know he loves me, I love him, too. Jesus died for our sins, we are pure through the blood of Jesus. We are all sinners saved by grace. Thank you for your time. God bless you.:)

i am also gay and i know what it feels like to be alone through out my teenage life and im very similar to bobby i also tried to commit suicide during my life as a teenager and i learned god will NOT judge on sexuality but what you do to contain it and i also know to have a mother that treats you like you dont exist and ALWAYS REMEMBER god LOVES us for who we are (GOD BLESS GAYS AND LESBIANS)
