Prayers for Bobby (2009)

Priča počinje 1979. godine. Bobby (R. Kelley) je miljenik svojih roditelja i cijele rodbine, uzoran u svemu, kompleks za ostalu braću i sestre koji nisu tako savršeni. Tek kad pokuša popiti tablete za spavanje, njegov stariji brat Ed (A. Nichols) prvi dozna istinu: Bobby je homoseksualac. Iako je bratu obećao da ništa neće reći roditeljima, Ed kaže majci (M. Griffith), jer se brine da se Bobby ponovno ne pokuša ubiti. Majka je odlučna da će sina izliječiti od homoseksualizma, pa Bobbyja vodi na psihoterapije na kojima mora odgovarati na pitanja kao da je duševni bolesnik. Kad ga jedna sestrična pozove k sebi u Portland, Bobby otkriva da ima obitelji različitih od njegove: roditelji njegovog dečka Davida (S. Bailey) razboriti su i tolerantni, a svog sina smatraju normalnim. Bobby je potresen kad shvati da se njegova majka neće promijeniti...

Film je istinita priča o drami Mary Griffith, majke koja nije mogla prihvatiti sina homoseksualca, snimljena prema knjizi Leroya Adamsa, a u uspomenu na Bobbyja Griffitha i Leroya Adamsa. Mary Griffith prekasno je shvatila da je njezin sin samo bio drugačiji od većine. Mary Griffith govorila je u Kongresu o pravima homoseksualaca i lezbijski i danas je jedna od nautjecajnijih aktivistica gay pokreta.
Film je osvojio nagrade GLAAD i Prism, te je bio u nominacij za Emmy i PGA kao najbolji film, a Sigourney Weaver za ulogu Mary Griffith, velike aktivistice za toleranciju i prava homoseksualaca, bila je nominirana za Zlatni globus, Emmy i niz drugih nagrada.
