  • Powerful words

  • I cried alot in this movie

  • thanks for showing one of the most powerful moments in the movie......but of course the rest of the story has to be seen to make this clip even more profound.

    Ciao Bello!

    May G-D Bless You My Friend! It's the completely shifted sensible and fair mindedness of attitudes like yours, that will end up making all the difference! Bobby Griffiths boyhood lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, thanks you from the bottom of his heart!

    Grazie Mille Uomo Bello!

    Ciao Bello!

    Alper il mio amico!

    Why on Earth I was fearful when I began posting on these clips to actually speak the truth and identify myself as having been Bobby Griffiths' onetime lover/boyfriend, is beyond me! Probably for the same reasons, that it took me well over a year to look into the late Leroy Aarons' book! Silly ungrounded fear! Thank you "Amico Mio" for continuing to host and upload these clips! The response to Bobby and Mary Griffiths' story amazes me!

  • A wonderful piece of work. Gay rights & acceptance are no less important than anyone's rights to free speech, religion, to worship, to protect & to serve not only our nation but to the world. We are all one humanity under God - although we still have war, hunger and sickness on this planet, it's here to teach us from right & wrong. As long as there's love, there is hope.  AMEN to that!!

  • i cried all through this movie. Jesus i love it so much. my heart just drops eachtime

  • @aoztovi

    My thoughts have often returned to Bobby lately, though sadly it is mostly due

    to the events of what I've been refering to as "Bloody September 20010"!

    I am grateful for all the sincere reactions that Bobbys' story has engendered,

    especially among the young!

  • @aoztovi When I was a boy of 18 and had to cope with

    Bobbys' death, there was almost no such reaction. I thank G-D for what has

    changed, but my friends it's obviously not enough! This must stop!

    We must insist to young

    people that they are of immeasurable value in G-Ds' eyes, as well as ours!

  • @762submoa Your religious beliefs are a fantasy. You are a bigoted idiot., and not very "Christian" acting.
