I'm sorry..
You should start thinking about college for next fall.
You need to get your GED first.
I mean...
it's ok to take some time off but...
Did you hear me?
I don't wanna know.
I want you to know.
His name's David.
We always start at the beginning every time and if we're not getting any more different let's just not go there.
When I'm with him,
it feels so...
good!
He treats me well...
he's funny and he's smart...
Stop. I mean it. I don't wanna hear it.
And you know I don't.
I spent the last year listening to you and you're gonna listen to me for once.
It feels good when I'm with David.
But if he touches me in public,
or God forbids, kisses me,
I pull away.
I feel ashame.
Because you know it's wrong.
-Because YOU told me it's wrong.
-It's not me. It's the bible.
It's not the bible. It's you!
Why can't you admit that?
Why can't you admit that you can't stand what I am?
What you've become!
What I am!
I'm sorry. I'm not the perfect little Bobby you always wanted.
But I can't keep apologizing for it Mum.
Accept me as I am or forget it.
I won't have a gay son.
Then Mum you don't have a son.
Fine.
Bobby...
Did you really think she'd change, Bobby?
She meant it.
She meant that.
I really want you to be happy.
And I'm sure that guy's really nice.
No matter what. She'll never accept it.
It's gonna be a lonely life because he'll never be welcome here.
And for Christmas, Thanksgiving, anything.
Don't worry about Mum too much. She'll come around.
I'm not gonna hold my breath.
Here you go.
The parachute pants!
Thanks.
I'll send you my first novel when I write it.
Bye Buck-Tooth!
Take care, ok?
Drive safe.
... most of the new cases up to 5 a day seem to be settled in the homosexual community...
The AIDS becoming known as the gay disease.
Well...
your Mum went alot for your birthday.
No card.
A sweater and "AIDS - The Wrath of God".
Whoah.
Happy birthday!
You can't expect anything different from her, Bobby.
She's not gonna change.
Birthdays were always a big deal for all of us.
I'm just not in the all of us anymore.
Can't get that throughout my head.
There's David.
Talk to you later.
You sure this is ok?
They're gonna love you.
Let's go.
Dad, do you have to tell that story?
Hey, I felt I had to.
Yes. And I've got about a dozen more where that came from if you're interested.
Oh, oh no thanks.
So Bobby...
tell us more about you.
You grew up in Walnut Creek, right?
David says you're very close to your family.
Yeah.
So how are your parents with you being gay?
Not good.
Well...
Maybe it's hard for them at first.
They'll come around.
You seem like a wonderful young man.
I'm sure they love you.
