I absolutely love and respect your feelings in this, regarding the treatment that Bobby received at the hands of his Mother Mary! But my friend , this all happened almost 30 years ago, in a far different America!
je dis "malgre que jai des probleme de langue" mais jai suivi le film , jai essailler du moin ,que chaque etre a le droit d'aimer et d'etre heureux dans ca vie.
I cried my eyes out! I wish so much that I could have saved Bobby. Hold him and tell him everything will be alright. I'd never let go... Unfortunately, no one can save the real Bobby. He's gone. And even though I didn't know him and never can, I love him. But we can save the lives of those still with us with love and acceptance. Peace and love to you all. I hope this film has touched your hearts as much as it has mine.
I cannot tell you how moved I've been by reading this here tonight! And of course you can't have known poor Bobby, but it is remarkably dear of you to have expressed having wished it so! And for this, and your declaration to spread both "Love and Acceptance, you have the undying love, gratitude, and devotion of Bobbys' old "Boyhood" lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here! And please do not be alarmed, I'm not "David", he was completely "fictitious"! Love Blaine
I hope no person male or female ever has to go through with such rejection and suffering as this poor teen did. I literally cried watching this part. It's disgusting and tragic. I blame the family for not accepting him and constantly judging him day after day. Soo soo sad! :(
I bawled. Yes, actually bawled. Even if this situation could never relate to me, because I honestly don't love my parents and sister and I'd never really care much about if they would accept their daughter/sister to be gay or not, but I can't believe that he'd feel that trapped. Is this what religion is supposed to do; make people commit suicide? Hell, maybe that's my cousin's dead.
Please pardon me darling, this is Bobby Griffiths' old lover, not "David" he was fictional, "Blaine" here! I appreciate and understand your inability to relate! This darling was the "America" of almost 30 years ago! Your remarkable generation is proving, and beautifully I might add, it's refusal, or unwillingness to accept this "BS"! I truly wish many "Blessings" upon you all for this fact! Love Blaine
i am a 14(almost 15) year old gay teen. I never let anyone get to me. I get sad sometimes but, never sad enough to kill myself. I know what it woulde cause. <3
Of course my friend your concerns for your well being and future happiness and having a "Productive" life are understandable, but please "take pause"!
For you live in a very different America from the one that Bobby Griffith and I faced as two "out gay boys", so very long ago! Bobby and I faced the daily reality of a Nation, and World for that matter that appeared to be "Universally" against us! I somehow got through it all, it of course it proved to be overwhelmingly too much for poor Bobby!
And know this my sweet little brother, that unlike those days, today there is in fact a World of both LGBTQ, and scores of wonderfully evolved straight friends and allies who will close ranks to uphold exactly who, what you are, and how you feel! And I, Bobby Griffiths' old lover "Blaine" here promise, to be merely one person in that vast, powerful crowd! Unlike then, you shall never be made to feel so alone, I f**king promise!
And you might very well be inclined to give her a big hug! Just as I did last July when seeing her, and her family for the first time since the mid 1990's!
"Cristoforo Dolce"! (Sweet Chris) I too truly despised the person that Mary Griffith had been in those days! But were you to see her today, knowing what she in fact went on to do for LGBTQ people, including Co Producing this "TV Dramatization" of hers, and her sons' story, laying most of the blame for what happened to poor Bobby, squarely at her feet, your "hatred" might melt!
@17chris18 I just cannot get over the fact that a little 90 minute "Made for TV Dramatization" , adapted from a book about a boy I had loved so very long ago, appears to have accomplished more to "Humanize" LGBTQ people, than almost anything else in my lifetime! It completely "Awes and Humbles" me!
It's completely understandable Chris! Just as folks because of Lifetimes' movie often believe me to be "David", he was in fact a "Character Write In" completely fictional! In spite of all that Chris, what I still love and appreciate about your reaction, is that it is is such sharp contrast to how most Americans anyway felt, when all of this happened almost 30 years ago!
@helloworldsmile1 There are some cases where no one can blame you for staying in closet. If you are a minor and have no place to go. If your family has the ability to take your college money away. In those cases I would wait until I was in a stable and safe position. But if you are not in a position like that know this, even if you lose respect in the eyes of your loved ones, they will never compare to your future soul mate. My partner is everything to me, I love him finally my family does too.
All Bobby want is acceptance and love from his family which his mother cant because bobby is a gay. I hate people who is so broadminded as if gay are from hell.
I still cry so much everytime I see this. Everyone should be accepting. We r all human no matter if were gay, straight, bi, etc...... Why cant people learn this. I think about competing suicide sometimes but then I watch this and it makes me think that I am someone. Please take a stand for rights.
Unlike the the times long ago, when Bobby and I were two "Out" boys and dating, today there are scores of LGBTQ and wonderfully evolved straight folks, ready to surround and support you on the quick! And your new "Uncle" Blaine here promises to be just one in that crowd!
Don't you dare harm yourself "Kiddo"! Or your "Uncle" Blaine here, Bobby Griffiths' old lover/boyfriend, will have to hop on his broom, fly to wherever you are, and whip you into shape! "Amico Mio" things have never looked brighter for queer (LGBTQ) folks, in spite of the fact that some of this nonsense is still occurring!
Thismoviehelpedmerealisehowluckyiam,andthatIcanhelpother LGBT people, starting with people at school who are struggling. my heart goes to Mary, and the rest of the Griffith family; and to anyone else whose hearts and lives Bobby touched.Bobby and Mary are my role models and helped me understand how important religion can be, and to lose some negative preconceptions. I have watched this movie overndover; especially to help me get thru some tough times, Ijust wish people wouldn't argue over it <3
Sigourney Weaver`s just gorgeous. Even when she stars in something commercial, she`s great and it`s pleasure to watch, but the movies like this, or the Snow Cake... I mean, she works a lot all the time, and still finds time for brilliant and important projects. It`s amazing!
You know, although the mum's way of thinking is totally wrong, I feel pity for her. She's trapped in a believe that is full of misunderstandings, and the only thing she wanted was the best for her son. At least, that's what I think. She can't cope with herself being the guilty one, so she keeps on blameing the only ones she can think of. I think the problem is not that one person, but the society that built that kind of person.
@AF3NI I also must say that I love your strong reaction to Mary Griffiths' then role in her sons' death! It signifies to me, Bobbys' boyhood lover/boyfriend, the remarkable changes that have taken place throughout the world, in attitudes regarding LGBTQ people! Things of course are not where they should be, but they are looking brighter all the time!
Not "Evil" my sweet "Ethiopian" friend, but horribly and "Tragically" misinformed! I resented Bobby's Mother for years after his suicide, not ever having met her mind you! I did however keep a watch from a distance upon her transformation, and came to believe that she had been as much a victim as her son!
@blainebill39 yes its evil how can you do that to youre own blood she is not the victim she only had to accept him en love him nothing more every child that youre make deserved that he had taking his live for his own mom thats what i see
@AF3NI However, were you to see Mary Griffith today as I did last Summer, and knowing all that she ended up doing for LGBTQ and straight youth after of her sons death, you might very well be moved to hug and forgive her, as was I when we met again for the first time since the mid 1990's! I had resented her for years, believing her fully responsible for the death of someone I had loved dearly, namely her son! But I myself could only be truly free by forgiving her!
@blainebill39 i dont have to forgive her because it has nothing to do with me.. and what you say about a long time ago in america i dont live there but i know in a lot of countrys is this a big issues and there are many gay annually commit suicide or be mistreated by their families around the world
But had she not spearheaded the effort, along with the Late Leroy Aarons, Author of the book "Prayers for Bobby" to Co-Produce this with Lifetime TV, you I and the rest of the World who've been moved by Bobbys' story, would likely not be having this exchange right now! We're working for the same outcome my friend, a safe and accepting World!
@AF3NI The America of "President Ronald Reagan", and the late "Rev. Jerry Falwell", and his "Moral Majority! Mary was the victim of an ill informed upbringing, at a time when "Ignorance and Bigotry" held sway! I was a 19 year old boy myself when Bobby took his own life, and remained quite wounded by it for years!
How could you betrayed bobby like that I know times where wild but stay faithful is a key for any relationship and if you say u are faithful now your to late the guy u were suppose to be is gone
"Bello", it didn't happen that way, but it's perfectly understandable that you've been led to believe so! Lifetimes' movie diverged in some respects from the late Leroy Aarons' original work "Prayers for Bobby", "Hollywood" and all!
Its people like this that make me love being an athiest. I love christianity and still believe in it but wack jobs like the mother want to kill each and everyone of them. Soccermoms who literally fuck the bible and let it take over their lives. It gave me a reason to wish eternal damnation to the church and its media supports like fox news, especially Bill o Rielly.
i cryed when his life flashed before his eyes and and the last thing was i won't have a gay son and then he jumped off. nothing wrong with gays that would of killed me too if i heard my mom say that too me,it likes no one loves me anymore. GOD LOVES ALL. NO MATTER WHAT.
@jcisbrazilanf No, whatever Mary did, you know she still love Bobby. In the film, you can tell that she herself had been under enormous social and religion pressure, and like Bobby, she struggles at accepting the fact that Bobby is gay.
Was she a perfect mother? No, but none of us are perfect. I personally believe she is responsible for the death of Bobby. But, I also know she is responsible for allowing many parents to open their eyes and love their son/daughter for whoever they are.
@jcisbrazilanf I was thinking the same thing. She's reason why he killed himself. I knew what it feels like to be different and what it felt like to have no one to turn to.
How the hell can that guy even come too his furneral....yet talk too his parents and say how amazing bobby is....when bobby needed him most where was he.....at some club with another guy. his just a pitiful person.
I cant believe she did that after shaking the guy's hand and she threw the plate that he was eating on away. Even after death she still acting like a bitch.
Bobby's suicide was the epitome of selfishness that cleaved an incorrigible wound into the hearts of his family. Though the mother did not accept his homosexuality, deep down inside she loved him more than anything, just like Booby though he did not accept his mother’s lack of acceptance to his homosexuality, nevertheless he still loved her unflinchingly. Let us not lash out like a reflex in wrath but give both parties our most sincere indomitable pity……
omg this shit is soo sad, i cried so much when he jumped and im still crying. Wtf goes through peoples heads when they dont accept it and drive people to do that, its horrible. Gay people are not different then anyone else we are still human it just is so sad how some people are
Remember glaad Spirit Day October 20th For our LGBT Dead!
I have a friend who lives in West Berkshire England UK who is disabled and persecuted by the Woolhampton small town community because of his and his civil partners diversity! The police ignore the threats and taunts, criminal damage and hatred persecutions ! This small village where the majority of intolerance and hatred are able to drive him to suicide, which he lived through and out! Witch hunts are alive in this “community” of Hate!
what really make me mad and upset about this is that this is going on all around the world young kids that are getting told that they are going to go to hell, and that it is rong, i am 17 and i came out in high school it was the worst thing i ever did i have spent the past 3 years of my life with no friends and a family that hates me, i was suicidal for 2 years ... im crying now just thinking of my past and how much i wished i was "normal" what is normal? love is love no matter what...
@ClueDesigns im so sorry you had to go through that and even me i have at least some support but then i forget there are others out there jut like u that suffer this pain and i with nobody had to suffer this pain
Please forgive Bobby Griffiths' old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here if he can't properly glean your gender darling because it matters not, it's what has emerged from your heart that I wish to respond to! That you are angered or possibly enraged as am I, that this is still occurring is what I find so remarkable! I will do whatever I'm able darling to support you and help you acquire a network of folks/friends gay and straight, who will surround you and lift you up!
GREAT STORY, to be honest i think this would have been exactly my story if i decided to kill myself too.just that part when bobby walked on the bridge and let go,that was me and i was there at that same situation not once but countless times.i dont know what it was that brought me back. whatever or whoever it was, i awe them my life. I cried from when bobby commited suicide all the way to the end of the movie. Thank you for accepting me mum, i love you
My mom once said to me: "You know what. I don't care who you love. Man, woman, something in between...whatever. Only thing that matters to me is that you are happy. And no matter what you do or where you go - you can always come back home to me." Every mom should be like that! Seriously - stop hating and start loving. Btw, I'm not even gay :) just a total supporter
@onestitate I find it tragically funny that straight people's parents are often open-minded, while gay people's parents are intolerant of this orientation, even when they know it costs their children's happiness, until after everything becomes too late.
Stupid ass fuckin god believers, this is why I hate Christians, they're all judgmental fucks, I feel really sad for this dude...and I really hate the mom. And being gay is not a sin, it doesn't matter who u like. No one should give a shit who u like. Not even this so called "god" should give a shit
I'm a devout Catholic, but I would never do what his mother did, if I had a child. My mom used to tell us that if any of us were gay she wouldn't even step foot in our house. Faith is about love and not acting like you're holier than though. I unfortunately know too many people like that.
"Amico Mio" I completely understand the severity of your reaction, and unfortunately some self described religious persons do still possess this errant "Mindset" but Bobby Griffiths' old lover/boyfriend here, has taken a cue from the great Bill Maher and begun to referring to these folks as "Christianists"! It's difficult to help everyone understand, and I'm trying to do so gently, but the events depicted in this Lifetime movie did in fact occur almost 30 years ago!
Why any mom could understand her little boy?...If GOD is love...pure love, doesn´t he be able to love EVERY ONE?.....GOD loves us....just the way we are..... ......
this is my first time ever seeing this moive and even though i knew bobby was gonna die, i still started crying cuz it suddenly hit me at that point that my cousins gay and since that side of my familys kinda religious, there was a chance that my mom my aunts wouldnt have accepted it. even though she already came out to everyone a couple years ago and as far as i could tell everyone seemed pretty much ok with it but the idea of her killing herself still kiinda scares me.
I'm 14 and gay....I havent came out yet but I yearly family say if they had a gay son then they are not part of the family....I need help because I am on the edge of insanity and suicide because I hate acting like someone I'm not.....my email is fefcjoey@yahoo.com and for whoever can help me will help me a lot because this is too much
Mckayde "Caro Ragazzo Bello" (Dear Beautiful/Handsome Boy)! Bobby Griffiths' old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" is here, and will "Jump In" immediately if need be to offer any support or friendship wanted! I'll visit your channel and PM you with various contact info! In the meantime "Bello" make no mistake that unlike the times in which Bobby Griffith and I were two "Out Boys" in love, today scores of people, gay and straight will surround and support you!
Could you blame him? He was pretty courageous considering that everything seemed stacked against him. I would cope much worse under the same circumstances.
@EuroMIX2 It's just so sad :'( and I'd never blame him for what he had done. Just thought he could have sought some refuge from local LGBT support instead :(
Only goes to prove how hard things are, especially for LGBTQ teens. Thing is, isn't this set in the 80's? I mean things are still pretty bad now what with ignorance, denied rights and all the teen suicides, but I imagine that things were even WORSE then, especially regarding support.
James "Amico Mio" ! Yes it was in fact likely mid 1980 when Bobby Griffith and I first made eye contact, and almost another year until we actually met and began dating! He and I, two "out" boys in far different, hostile almost toxic society! I don't know exactly how things are progressing in the UK, but in the US, and a new "Century" young people are still making this terrible choice! Grazie again for pointing out that these events occurred so long ago!
Estella "Amica Mia"! This is Bobby Griffiths' old lover/boyfriend here "Blaine" here, to thank you for your almost bewildered reaction! "Why couldn't Bobby have gotten help" Right?Because in truth "Sweetie" though the San Francisco Bay Area had rather large visible community of "Gay", mostly"White" men at that time, there was in fact absolutely nothing to help young people with the "Coming Out" process! My Dad often offered Bobby refuge, but he and I were it!
Bobby did an gross sin, a sin bigger than any sin, bigger than killing people, bigger than raping people, bobby did an awful sin in God eyes.....He loved
it's so sad... and bobby's mother is judgemental... i mean who is she to jugde dvid becoz he is gay... acting like he has infectious disease... like she is high n never made sins... for god sake... who is she to jugde...
i know this is dosent have to do anything to do with this movie but, does anyone know where that boy in the weelchair calls that one dude on the phone and says im going to kill myself because his parents dont except him?

Ciao!
Not "Evil" my sweet "Ethiopian" friend, but horribly and "Tragically" misinformed! I resented Bobby's Mother for years after his suicide, not ever having met her mind you! I did however keep a watch from a distance upon her transformation, and came to believe that she had been as much a victim as her son!

@blainebill39 yes its evil how can you do that to youre own blood she is not the victim she only had to accept him en love him nothing more every child that youre make deserved that he had taking his live for his own mom thats what i see

@AF3NI However, were you to see Mary Griffith today as I did last Summer, and knowing all that she ended up doing for LGBTQ and straight youth after of her sons death, you might very well be moved to hug and forgive her, as was I when we met again for the first time since the mid 1990's! I had resented her for years, believing her fully responsible for the death of someone I had loved dearly, namely her son! But I myself could only be truly free by forgiving her!
Sinceramente!

But had she not spearheaded the effort, along with the Late Leroy Aarons, Author of the book "Prayers for Bobby" to Co-Produce this with Lifetime TV, you I and the rest of the World who've been moved by Bobbys' story, would likely not be having this exchange right now! We're working for the same outcome my friend, a safe and accepting World!

Forgive me, I thought you had "United States" listed on your Channel! And of course it's not incumbent upon you to forgive Mary Griffith!

@AF3NI The America of "President Ronald Reagan", and the late "Rev. Jerry Falwell", and his "Moral Majority! Mary was the victim of an ill informed upbringing, at a time when "Ignorance and Bigotry" held sway! I was a 19 year old boy myself when Bobby took his own life, and remained quite wounded by it for years!

"Bello", it didn't happen that way, but it's perfectly understandable that you've been led to believe so! Lifetimes' movie diverged in some respects from the late Leroy Aarons' original work "Prayers for Bobby", "Hollywood" and all!

jcisbrazilanf 3 months ago
@jcisbrazilanf No, whatever Mary did, you know she still love Bobby. In the film, you can tell that she herself had been under enormous social and religion pressure, and like Bobby, she struggles at accepting the fact that Bobby is gay.
Was she a perfect mother? No, but none of us are perfect. I personally believe she is responsible for the death of Bobby. But, I also know she is responsible for allowing many parents to open their eyes and love their son/daughter for whoever they are.

I am an agnostic.
But before you judge me and call me names or whatnot.
You should know that the reason I have become an agnostic is NOT because I hate God and I dont believe Him or whatever.
But, I prefer to become an agnostic because I don't want to become what churches (some of them) managed to turn people into.

Bobby's suicide was the epitome of selfishness that cleaved an incorrigible wound into the hearts of his family. Though the mother did not accept his homosexuality, deep down inside she loved him more than anything, just like Booby though he did not accept his mother’s lack of acceptance to his homosexuality, nevertheless he still loved her unflinchingly. Let us not lash out like a reflex in wrath but give both parties our most sincere indomitable pity……

My mom once said to me: "You know what. I don't care who you love. Man, woman, something in between...whatever. Only thing that matters to me is that you are happy. And no matter what you do or where you go - you can always come back home to me." Every mom should be like that! Seriously - stop hating and start loving. Btw, I'm not even gay :) just a total supporter

@onestitate I find it tragically funny that straight people's parents are often open-minded, while gay people's parents are intolerant of this orientation, even when they know it costs their children's happiness, until after everything becomes too late.

I'm a devout Catholic, but I would never do what his mother did, if I had a child. My mom used to tell us that if any of us were gay she wouldn't even step foot in our house. Faith is about love and not acting like you're holier than though. I unfortunately know too many people like that.

"Amico Mio" I completely understand the severity of your reaction, and unfortunately some self described religious persons do still possess this errant "Mindset" but Bobby Griffiths' old lover/boyfriend here, has taken a cue from the great Bill Maher and begun to referring to these folks as "Christianists"! It's difficult to help everyone understand, and I'm trying to do so gently, but the events depicted in this Lifetime movie did in fact occur almost 30 years ago!

James "Amico Mio" ! Yes it was in fact likely mid 1980 when Bobby Griffith and I first made eye contact, and almost another year until we actually met and began dating! He and I, two "out" boys in far different, hostile almost toxic society! I don't know exactly how things are progressing in the UK, but in the US, and a new "Century" young people are still making this terrible choice! Grazie again for pointing out that these events occurred so long ago!
