Bobby’s story became a book (by Leroy Aarons) and then a 2009 television film, Prayers for Bobby , starring Sigourney Weaver as Mary and Ryan Kelley as Bobby. The film ends with a real-life caption:

When Mary discovered a note from David, she exploded. “You are an abomination!” she screamed. “You will not bring this shame into our family! You are going to hell, Bobby, unless you change.”

But secrets fester. At 17, Bobby’s inner turmoil boiled over. He overdosed on pills—a silent cry for help. He survived. In the hospital, Mary wept over him. But when a therapist suggested Bobby might be gay, Mary’s face turned to stone. “No,” she said. “He’s sick. We’ll cure him with God’s help.” Mary embarked on a crusade to “fix” Bobby.

He moved to Portland, then to Seattle. He lived in a cramped apartment, worked odd jobs, and tried to build a life. He went to a gay bar for the first time—terrified, then liberated. He danced. He laughed. He met other young men like him. For a few months, he tasted freedom.

She went before the city council to fight for gay-inclusive anti-discrimination laws. She spoke in churches, in schools, in town halls. She told Bobby’s story—not as a tragedy of a sinner, but as the murder of a beautiful soul by religious hatred.

She raised her four children—Ed, Bobby, Nancy, and Joy—on a strict diet of faith, family dinners, and the certainty that homosexuality was an abomination, a sin worthy of God’s punishment.

Bobby, the second eldest, was different. At 15, he was sensitive, artistic, and gentle. He didn’t like sports; he preferred poetry and reading. Mary dismissed it as a phase. But Bobby knew. Deep inside, he felt an attraction to boys that he couldn’t pray away.

Bobby fell to his knees. “I’ve tried, Mom. I’ve prayed. I’ve begged God to take this away. He hasn’t answered.”
