I randomly came across this movie early this morning (4am) because I couldn't sleep. I was shocked that I had never heard of it before. Even though it was released in 2009, the message is so very relevant to everything going on in the news right now. Gay-bashing, homophobes, religious zealotry, gay teen suicide, etc. What's even more amazing is that it's a true story. It stirred up so many emotions with me. At times it seemed as though I were watching a movie based on my life. It was kind of eerie how much of my life paralleled the main characters. It's probably the most touching film I've ever seen. If I had normal human emotions, I probably would of cried through the whole movie (lol).
PLEASE watch this movie, and then get your friends and family to watch it. Stories like this have the power to open closed eyes, and reach those who we thought were unreachable. After you watch it, I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on it. Anyone that can watch this movie without being moved is not human at all... or what I like to call a "Republican" (lol).

Amazing, amazing movie. I cried all the way through it. Sigourney Weaver played this role so well. I expected to hate her character but instead I pitied her for her ignorance and her guilt.
