I Need You To Listen

Do you feel that you have a higher education so you are a broad-sighted person?
Do you always insist that you are right?
Have you refused to compromise and give in?
That is the case, please take a look at this film now

I stay is a small city
can be different and our people still there
I've got a gay friend
the same Bobby and he is also popular with dazzling super good
the more the more gay infinite cohesion What's
different from Charm and Bobby is that he exudes an air of self-confidence and getting along with him makes people feel like spring breeze,

but it is strange that the friends around him
will show disgust when they talk about his homosexuality, and his private life is corrupt. meaning

my attitude has always been homosexuality have their own life has nothing to do with me
I have no right to interfere in other people's sexual orientation,
others have the right to choose their own way to happiness
since there is no harm to me
that their lives I will not comment on it

I can't understand why his friends who are highly educated and have been to big cities and have seen the big market can't understand him.
I often feel that he knows everyone well, but no one has ever walked into his heart,
maybe because of insecurity!
Just like Bobby, I can't hide it, but I still pretend to be business as usual in the fear of being rejected by relatives and friends.

I think it's not just such a special Bobby that needs people's understanding.
In fact, when there is any conflict, any difference occurs
. We should communicate frankly and
empathize with
one another. No one has the right to impose one's own worldview, outlook on life and values ​​on others. How can others become another self?
There are always differences between people and people!
Why do you feel frightened when you discover that others are different instead of changing your way of getting along with them? !

I have a cousin in elementary school cliques to stir up trouble when he fights
remember that time his uncle to play three days a small meal five days a beat
later finished junior high school drop out
remember nerd, I saw him will not help I was so nervous that
his cordial greetings to me when he went home as a soldier to visit relatives were habitually ignored by me.
Now think about the attitude of his family at that time and it hurt him a lot, right? The
family just hoped that he would become the obedient look that everyone hoped for.
But I didn’t use a kind and friendly way
like Bobby’s family. I chose indifference and rudeness.
Later, when I was in college, I went to my uncle’s house to play. I accidentally found out a diary of his.
It probably means "fighting again." I made my dad angry again, and I regret it myself, but I just can’t control myself. "
Don’t lie to you, my shock and regret at the time were ashamed of what Bobby’s mother had.
I finally knew that my indifferent attitude had hurt me deeply. loved ones
as enthusiastic embrace of their loved ones is not honest to accept in good faith to enlighten but coldly rejected each other's hand for help

to try to try to accept the run to try to communicate try to embrace
godfather on Bobby's funeral, said that wrong sin itself, rather than a crime
Today , 7 years ago, my
brother died. Today 7 years after my brother’s death, I was happy to eat hot pot with my family.
Despite the stumbling, I accept each other, no matter what happens, the unpleasant

opening song I Need You To Listen is everyone’s Heartfelt,
that is the voice of forgiveness and the voice of redemption
Forgive the mistakes of the past and redeem the present self

Prayers for Bobby quotes

  • Mary Griffith: Homosexuality is a sin. Homosexuals are doomed to spend eternity in hell. If they wanted to change, they could be healed of their evil ways. If they would turn away from temptation, they could be normal again if only they would try and try harder if it doesn't work. These are all the things I said to my son Bobby when I found out he was gay. When he told me he was homosexual my world fell apart. I did everything I could to cure him of his sickness. Eight months ago my son jumped off a bridge and killed himself. I deeply regret my lack of knowledge about gay and lesbian people. I see that everything I was taught and told was bigotry and de-humanizing slander. If I had investigated beyond what I was told, if I had just listened to my son when he poured his heart out to me I would not be standing here today with you filled with regret. I believe that God was pleased with Bobby's kind and loving spirit. In God's eyes kindness and love are what it's all about. I didn't know that each time I echoed eternal damnation for gay people each time I referred to Bobby as sick and perverted and a danger to our children. His self esteem and sense of worth were being destroyed. And finally his spirit broke beyond repair. It was not God's will that Bobby climbed over the side of a freeway overpass and jumped directly into the path of an eighteen-wheel truck which killed him instantly. Bobby's death was the direct result of his parent's ignorance and fear of the word gay. He wanted to be a writer. His hopes and dreams should not have been taken from him but they were. There are children, like Bobby, sitting in your congregations. Unknown to you they will be listening as you echo "amen" and that will soon silence their prayers. Their prayers to God for understanding and acceptance and for your love but your hatred and fear and ignorance of the word gay, will silence those prayers. So, before you echo "amen" in your home and place of worship. Think. Think and remember a child is listening.

  • Mary Griffith: I won't have a gay son.

    Bobby Griffith: Then mom, you don't have a son.

    Mary Griffith: Fine.
