Prayers For Bobby

Raising her family on the conservative teachings of her Church, devout Christian Mary Griffith is devastated when her teenage son, Bobby, acknowledges he is gay. Facing the unyielding tenets of the Church and his mother, the “perfect son” commits suicide. Confronted with the tragedy, her faith in question, Mary tentatively reaches out to the gay community, and not only finds unexpected support but discovers an unanticipated new direction in life—as an outspoked national advocate for gay and lesbian youth. Based on a true story.
