Prayers for Bobby Ratings & Reviews

    Incredibly moving story. Anyone who has grown up different and struggled for acceptance can identify. Also, anyone who has had a family member come out as gay and not accepted that person should watch and hopefully come to realize that being gay isn't a choice, it's who we are.

    A powerful story of history that everyone needs to see.
