starred a well known female star (can't remember her name either)...but the movie is about Her (the mom), not accepting her son's gayness...she is very religous....the teenager eventually jumps off a bridge committing suicide...and the mom finally comes around..and is an activist now.


driving me crazy....grrr

thanks in advance...

Sigourney to Play Mom in Prayers for Bobby

Oscar-nominated actor Sigourney Weaver has signed on to star in a movie about a devout Christian woman who questions her faith after her gay son commits suicide. Prayers for Bobby, a Lifetime Original Movie, is being adapted from Leroy Aarons's 1995 nonfiction book of the same name, the network announced on Monday.

When Mary Griffith finds that her son Bobby is gay, she becomes convinced that he could be cured of what she sees as his sin, while the rest of their family comes to terms with his sexual orientation. Desperate for his mother's approval, Bobby steps up his prayers and church activities, while becoming increasingly depressed because of his Presbyterian Church's disapproval of homosexuality. Eventually Bobby commits suicide, prompting Mary to reflect on her son's life and accept his orientation.
