Prayers for Bobby (2009)

Poster for Prayers for Bobby

She loves everything about her son...except who he is.

Bobby Griffith was his mother's favorite son, the perfect all-American boy growing up under deeply religious influences in Walnut Creek, California. Bobby was also gay. Struggling with a conflict no one knew of, much less understood, Bobby finally came out to his family.
