Prayers For Bobby hits really close to home...

[GoddessOfCats]

Oh god..This made me cry...I'm so sorry about your friend..The cruelty that people throw at gay people HAS to stop...How many more innocent people have to die to make these bigots open their eyes?

[MrLalala15]

im so sorry for your loss

[MrLalala15]

i started crying when i saw the movie :.(

[superskyerocket1]

I started to have very watery eyes at the end of this. I am so sorry for your loss. It's horrible when someone decides they've had enough. My brother is gay, and his mum and our dad aren't very accepting of it. I'm very upset about it because it's his life and he can't change it. I also believe you should love everyone the same, no matter how different. R.I.P Joshua

@xwater7diamondx

Ciao Bella!

I just wanted to share with you darling that I saw Mary Griffith, and most of her family for the first time last week, since the mid 1990s! We took some time to discuss wonderful young folks like yourself, and just how touched you were by her sons' story! We both agreed sweetie, it's going to be you and your wonderful generation that will end up changing everything!

Grazie Mille Ragazza Bella!  (Thank You So Much Beautiful Girl)

[julykid28]

i am sobbing right now

[jmfashio]

I love you. Sniffle hah you made me cry as if I were watching the movie, and when you said that your friends name was Joshua, which is my name, my heart dropped, cause he could easily have been me. It must've been really hard for you to watch the movie, and you remind me what could've been, if I weren't here today. Thank you for the video sniffle sniffle :-)

[ilovegurlz615]

i watched this movie 4 the frst time today & i cried 4 most of the movie. i dont know anyone who has died but i know most of my family wont accept me if i told them so i try to keep it to myself but its hard. & it just gets harder everyday. R.I.P all the gays/lesbians who killed themselves b/c they werent being accepted. ur always in our hearts & minds. we love u

[saunei]

@ilovegurlz615 hey man dont worry about a thing. it will get better. IM a gay christian and im proud. I came out to my mom today. and it was not pretty because the first thing that came out her mouth was, "its a sin and youre going to hell but I love just the same" wow it realy hurt me that she didnt understand. but I dont care beause God made us in his image. dude i want to say that you are not alone. GOd loves you!!! and his ever loving love keeps flowing from heaven to us. keep your head up!

[ilovegurlz615]

@saunei Thank you. it helps to hear it come from another Christian

[blainebill39]

@saunei

Ciao Bello!

Tyler "Amico Mio" it's Bobby Griffiths' old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, just jumping into the fray to tell you how fricken proud you make me! That you're a self described follower of Christ who happens to be queer (LGBTQ) is beautiful! And my pride in you extends on another level, and that is you're also a "Pacific Islander", fully "Out" and committed! I find it wonderful to at long last see queer (LGBTQ) persons of "Color or Ethnicity" come into their own!

[brandilove23]

[isaganiespeleta]

‎"Before you echo Amen in your home, or in your place of worship, think and remember. A child is listening." -Mary Griffith

i cried and cried and crieeeed over this.

[Celebfarandula]

I cryed a lot too...

[goldschle]

gays are always killing themselves, hmmm i wonder if they have mental disorders. nah must just be the bullying.

[AssBurgerDeluxe]

This trailer...it was like I hung myself on emotion...like I jumped off the bridge of intolerance into the traffic of homosexual acceptance...like I took a bullet of love into my head of hatred...like I was pozzed with love by a partner of tolerance...

[queenrosered]

I thank you for this heartfelt response to the story of Bobby and am so sorry for the loss of Josh. Please tell ALL gay kids you know to check out the Trevor Project and look here on Youtube at ALL the videos that say "It Gets Better".Gay teens are 3 times more likely to commit suicide. This is unacceptable in 2011! Thank you for this.Watch Adam Lambert's "It Gets Better" video also.

[jmacjr101]

I'm sorry about your friend. Josh is in a better place. :) You rock for posting this. Again I'm sorry. really sorry.

[zilfer]

it really is a tear jerker. I cried throughout the movie.

[JosB94]

I agree with art1ej.. This movie also made me cry.

[robtb05]

Bless you x

[art1ej]

thats so sad about ur friend...prayers for bobby should be shown at schools to families anywhere..it can save a life or even change someones view its a good thing...

[MomSpeaksOut]

I am so sorry about your friend Joshua. I'm also so proud of you for being his friend and making this video. This message is so important. Thank you.

[kandefer55]

i just finish watching "Prayers for bobby" and i cried too...RIP JOSHUA...may he find a better place somewhere peaceful...you are a good person...tc

[BRUCEkbg]

thank you for this video. it was very touching

[LUISRO620]

i concidered about taking one's life when i was a teenager...but im glad i didn't do that.

[LUISRO620]

i cried too, why is so hard be gay in this fucking world?...why our lives has to be so difficult?... : (

[TheRavensCalling]

"I won't have a gay son." I FUCKING LOST IT RIGHT THEN. after i saw that part, i started crying. for any lgbt youth, coming out to their family is the hardest thing they can do. and when their parents don't accept them, well, then, that's when the real problems begin. you made me cry. being a gay man myself, it hurts to know and hear that so many gay men and women are still hurting so terribly. thank you for posting, and my deepest condolences.

[vincedavid24]

shut up! you made me cry..its really hard to be dscreet homo..tnx for posting..sorry

[itsBA44]

I cried during this entire this movie and cried for at least an hour after this film. I can understand what you went through. I'm really sorry.

[alexis001]

im sorry for your loss... joshua is in a better place right now..

Im currently stuggling with my family right now and everyone...

I kinda try to not think about it too much, but i cant shake the feeling that sooner or later I have to face it..

My mother rejected me and so did my dad.. but I still live with them, having to be in near them, to touch them, to love them. to feel that there are momment of love... but whenever I do something that for them is a bit homosexual.. then shun me

[benbrez116]

i hate people like this, not you, but homophobes. I am not gay, but it is SO WRONG to make fun of them, frankly, if there even is a god, sending people to hell for makes him a jackass. I am sorry you're friend died. Good luck with dealing with it.

[alexo725]

This is really sad! I'm so sorry for your loss!! xx

[lu4y4pants]

I hope you were able to grieve for your friend's death.

[yukiinu89]

i´m so sorry.. thats really hurts to hear this...

[handuprun]

i love you and your friends. i know God listen to ur prayer. he is in the heaven :) smiling for your cry :) for hving such a great friend.

[GayDannyOMG]

I Cried As Much As You; Ive Been Through alot, This Was A Very Touching Movie I Loved It; Hope EVERYONE gets a chance to see ''PRAYERS FOR BOBBY'' before they die!

[love00155]

[kourtbby1]

EWWWWWWWW You Look So Gross

[shaunmailshaun]

I want to say how incredible this was. U should be a journalist or writer. I am sorry for your loss, I live the lifestyle everyday and hope that someone scoops you up and your dreams come true. Thank you

[oceanyah1]

OMG!! I am so sorry!! I can't stop crying now..... It's horrible how people react the way they do to gays i hate it soo much....

[swedenisthekingofesc]

@The9Observer pft are you serious? well if so you will be his neighbour soon your poor as whore kid

[LiaTyson]

I was so touched by tthe movie Prayers For Bobby, I cried all though it, it's so sad, I also feel bad for Mary Griffith, she didnt really know any different, she had been brought up to believe it was an unforgivable sin..curable,still I think she should have loved her son over what she believed,at the end of the day what was important was Bobby and his well-being..she had to learn the hardest way, such a sad story,I also want to add that I am deeply sorry for your loss.R.I.P Joshua and Bobby

[Giusep00]

This is the only movie that has ever made me cry.

I loved it so much <3

[SimsMoyal]

his name is Mans Zelmerlow - with a "W"

[222demon222]

So it was only his mother who did not accept it.

[kalisspp]

Omg This Made Me Cry Am Sorry For Your Loss...Peace Love And Pride Is All Socity Needs Because Love Is Love And Everyone Should Be Acceptin To What Evr You Are

[Genduh]

I am sorry for your loss. If I could hug you over the internet I would. )':

I am so glad someone made this film because hopefully it will touch the hearts of either people who are struggling for acceptance or people who are struggling to accept someone close to them, and maybe, just maybe, it will prevent tragedies like this from happening.

A wonderful film, but now I have a headache from crying so much!

[lovelydiva06]

this was very touching, i got a little emotional and i'm sorry for your loss, i haven't seen the movie yet but i have seen the actual story about bobby that this movie is based on, i'm someone who fully believes GOD loves us all and using religion as a reason to justify your hate is wrong, if you think your gonna walk into the kingdom of heaven with hate in your heart for someone, think again, people need to stop judging others and accept people for who they are, love is love, so stop the hate

[ZeckRichards]

It's rediculous how people are agianst gays. Seriously, I'm not saying all the people, but you look at the people who oppose gay marriage, most of them insult and laugh at gay people and for what? How in the hell do you look at those people and call them the good guys? I mean seriously! And because of them, things like this happen! It's so messed up!

I am so sorry for your loss. May God be with him. R.I.P.

[ilovehim1980]

[TheN92]

Oh mu god you just made me cry!!!

i am so sorry for your loss!!

i have been struggling so much like maybe your friend did and have also had suicide thoughts due to the bullying ive been getting at school from many people, they dont understand us!!!

[xwater7diamondx]

@TheN92 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I don't sign on to this channel very often but I do love seeing all of the voices that share this...

One of my favorite quotes is: The hardest think in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live. [Sure it came from Buffy but] it is such a powerful message and a great one to live by..

I wish you the best and the best advice I can give is surround yourself with people you love, the bullies should matter after that.

[Gullytale]

@xwater7diamondx Sorry to hear about young Joshua. Christians should understand that lovelessness put Christ to death on a Cross. I see real parallels. We all go through these thoughts, and feelings, and want out at times. It's hard to live in lovelessness. That's HELL. Christ said, "Love your.... self," yet so many 'christians' would have us do the opposite. Makes you wonder. RIP Joshua, Bobby and all others abused this way. You take care too Joshua's friend.

[Annahg78]

@xwater7diamondx I also feel the same way. I didn't have a way to post my own original comment, so I am commenting here. I am so sorry about your friend sweetheart. I have two good friends who are gay, and if I were in your shoes, it would tear my heart apart.

[rachbachchopinlover8]

<3 This video!

Thnx for posting!

[luchito83]

um catholism is not that bad. i live in south amrica in perru 85 % catholic country. but is very different compare with catholism in US. is more open and less involve with families. i`m sorry about your friend

[dil103]

I have one thing too say to this, and i am vary sry if this come out mean but gays that read this need to hear it. if you give up and do what this young man didyour weak i deal with alot of st@t to be who i am and no one will take it way i deal with the famliy,school cr@p to but its werth take you most show the one color that matters and that is all of them

[JacobAK1]

Im sorry to hear about your loss. Much love xxxxxxxxxxxx

[jakeluna1]

Thank you for sharing this :) I may not know you, but it's people like you, and people like Mary Griffith that open your hearts and minds, that will ultimately make this world a better place. I cried at the end of the movie, and I cried even harder after watching this video. Much Love

[EGOdeutschland]

Thank you for sharing your story... I feel so sorry about your best friend. If this world could just be better... where love and respect for humanity was dominating... these things would never happen. I can understand this pain, I went through similar times, and it makes me so sad...

best wishes from Germany, I think of you.

[NaTToArtB]

wow, it's sad, i cried a lot watching this, so did my bff, i'm also going through a lot of things right now and she's always there for me. i'm sorry about what happened to your friend, he was lucky to have you.

[truthbreaker]

omg thats sad. im sorry. amazing video.

[patrickeddygallo]

sorry for your loss, just watched the movie and it blew me away, thank God my family is ok with me being gay. there are others out there who don't have it that easily.

[memorial19]

[lizichell]

We need to rid the world of religion and then it will improve

[lizzard220]

Thank you for posting this.

I cried during it.

I don't think I could actually watch the real movie...

I am facing some similar issues. Thankfully I have friends that get me through it

[nitsudg]

im so sorry for your loss. He seemed like a happy go lucky guy that couldnt such a thing.

I guess I take for granted how my parents are so cool and nuetral about me.

i wish he went to a support group.. he took the easy way out.. at least he's at rest now...

[xwater7diamondx]

Please thank your parents for me. It makes me happy/proud to hear about parents who take the time to actually BE parents. And thank you for the support. <3

[MusicalEutopia]

This video touched me.

[xwater7diamondx]

i am glad. thank you <3

[sporksrock120]

I'm sorry about Joshua. He is in a better and more accepting place now. :) The movie was good, and I felt like I was about to cry when she finally came to terms that there was nothing wrong with Bobby. Great review!

[xwater7diamondx]

it has been over 10mo and i can still hear his voice. which is good. thank you so much for your comment!

[sevendueceoffsuit]

Very well said, I have a feeling Joshua would be and is very proud of you.
