When watching the movie, I will sigh at the ignorance and ignorance of Bobby's mother, and I hate her as much as I did to my mother before: I hate her for not being able to think more from my point of view, and be more considerate and considerate of me? But then I realized I was wrong: how can there be a mother in this world who doesn't love her child? ! The mother in the movie is in love with Bobby all the time, worried that he will fall into the abyss, worried that he will be tempted, and worried that he will not be able to ascend to heaven after death. but why? Why did Bobby choose suicide in the end? It can be said that Bobby's death was caused by his mother.

It's all for your own good! The mother didn't understand why Bobby didn't cooperate with the treatment, even after his suicide. Because she thought what she was doing was in line with God's will, even though she knew Bobby was special since he was a child, but the Bible says, "For a man to have sex with a man is abominable." She was convinced of this, Until the priest told her that her faith could be questioned, because the Bible was also written and interpreted by mortals, and mortals have their limitations.

Her heart began to shake, and she recalled when Bobby was a child, and she realized that she had long known that he was special, but she had chosen to hide it. At that moment, she knew she was wrong, she cried and ran to the priest to confess, she knew that God didn't cure Bobby because he was not sick at all! But she woke up too late, and at the same time she couldn't forgive herself, she thought she should do something for the child.

After that, my mother participated in parliaments, marches and other activities, and appealed to the whole society: If we can put aside our stereotypes, when gays talk to you, we can sit down and listen patiently instead of accusing and scolding. In fact, you will find that they are actually Not different from us, living the same life with ideals, praying together, and thanking God for the gift.

    When you say "Amen" at home or at church, remember that a child is listening! How could such a religious traditional American family tolerate gay children in those days! ? All the mother's reactions seemed to be taken for granted, and it was only natural that this drove the son to the point of death. Nowadays, more and more homosexuals are appearing around us undisguised. This is the result of the recognition of the social minorities.
