Loved this movie clip. I grew up Mormon, and served a mission to South Korea. I am also gay. It took me many years and life experience to accept who I am. This is one of my favorite movies because it took what I saw as impossible, and allowed me to finally believe that it was ok to leave the Mormon church to live the life I was meant to live. I believe we all have individual relationships with God or some form of "God". We must be true to ourselves and our personal convictions.

@jasonadams15 thank you for your personal experience, that is simply great you are 'free'. I agree, whatever each person's walk is different, but the Creator knows each soul, so we don't need to worry about other's judgment anymore. Thank you also fro saying you loved my clip, I spent several hours arranging the clips to where I thought they should go. :) In Christ, God bless you, Jason.

ou .. if Aaron's mother punch him and he started cry... I feels like I have to hug him...

@Rawennnnn

yeah, that was pretty sad at that point of the story.. :( but it worked out in the end, and his mom's heart came out when she chased after Christian when he gave her the family heirloom given that was given to Aaron (the stopwatch with the biblical verse about "above all these is charity, which is love)

[papabear777]

Aaron's new found love that is growing for Christian is wrapped in guilt brought on by other people's judgment and ignorance that Christ's declaration that whosoever believes shall not perish applies to everyone.

The tragic last part of this film will stir anyone who watches this film.

It´s very touching..and it brings me tears..

But it helps me to understand how hard it must be..

I wouldn´t like to be in his shoes..;-(

Otherwise.. is this really today STILL such a big problem?????

Big cities & some churches, not so bad, nearly all small villages & communities being Gay isn't looked upon with respect as being who you are. You know you don't see Gay couples holding hands and kissing even 1/10th as much as when you see them compared to Straight couples, it's because there's a risk of rude comments or attacks. Sadly it happens & even worse - churches are judgmental - Jesus said WHOSOEVER believes, they're blaspheming in not leaving it to Him. God bless you TaMaLu, BLESS U!

LDS MORMON SCRIPTURES PREACH that BLACK SKIN is A MARK & A CURSE ->

"...the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)."

"And the skins...were DARK,according to the MARK which was set upon their fathers...which WAS A CURSE upon them...(Book of Mormon, Alma 3:6)."

"and the CURSING which hath come upon their skins...(Book of Mormon, Jacob 3:5)."

for this people...shall become a dark, a filthy, and a loathsome people, (Book of Mormon, Mormon 5:15)

MORMONS DON'T WANT GAY PEOPLE AROUND THEM THEY MIGHT GET CONTAMINATED!

"We do not intend to admit to our campus any homosexuals. If any of you have this tendency and have not completely abandoned it, may I suggest that you leave the university immediately after this assembly.... We do not want others on this campus to be contaminated by your presence." (Ernest Wilkinson, president of Brigham Young University, in a 1965 lecture to the BYU student body, titled: "Make Honor your Standard."

yep, fortunately, God judges each person according to HIS will - not what some guy says God will judge people for, according to his human will!
