"Jim..." "I don't like you to hang out with him." "You know that." "I have already promised him, so..." "I don't care why." "I've said no!" "Why you always do this?" "He is a homosexual." "He is a Christian." "He is just like us." "No homosexual is a christian or follower of God for that matter" "Mom..." "I've said no!" "He's always trying to get you into the wrong things." "They are kids, Jim..." "It's up to us to decide what they are allowed to do." "Alex is struggling and is trying to bring Connor down with him and" "I won't that let happen!"

" I've got those fliers you wanna me to make you..." " Oh, thank you." " Wow!" "This is awesome!" " Thanks." "I've gotta go." "The meeting is about to start." "Would you... maybe you wanna join me?" "Not today, Alex." "I've promised this girl to go to lunch with her." "If is about you not being gay, it's okay." "It's a Gay-Straight Alliance..." "being straight..." "Alex, I'll get it, okay?" "I'll talk to you later." "Hey..." "Come on." "Do it for me..." "Please?" "To all friends, it's already getting started..." " Sorry...." " Don't worry." "Everyone, this is Connor." "He helped us on the fliers..." "Hey, Connor, we appreciate your help." "We've heard a lot about you." "Nice to finally meet you." "Yeah, no problem." "So, we're talking about our experience of coming out." "So, what's new with you, Matt?" "Well, I said I've came out to my dad last week and he hasn't said more than two words to me." "He left this book on my bed and it's called" ""Men who struggle with their sexual identity"." "You know, he doesn't get that he is not gonna change who I am." "I'm gay and..." "I'm not gonna start pretending to like girls again and do that all thing because... you know, when I did that I was feeling I was living a lie." "So what about you, Connor?" "This is your first time here." "What's your view on homosexuality?" "I don't know." "I was raised christian, you know, baptist." "My dad is a pastor, so religion, kind has always been a big deal..." "What is it now, Jim?" "So, you've found the paper for the school dance, so what?" "He's involved in lot of things at school." "It's something most parents would love their kids to be a part of." "It's the Gay-Straight Alliance that he is putting in on." "He is not planning the senior's prom!" "You know, Jim, you need to stop accusing him of doing something wrong." "He lied to us." "Since when isn't that wrong?" "Well, I realize that and maybe it's for this exact reason." "You know, acting like this is not gonna bring the two of you any closer together." "It only pushes him further away from you, every time." "It's tearing our family apart!" "You know why I do this." "You know about Alex." "And I've seen them together, Alex and him." "I've seen how they act and it's not normal." "Do you call this normal?" "The fact that he's planning a gay dance?" "Okay, what exactly is normal to you, Jim?" "Is it putting on a dress-shirt and a tie and going after church or putting on a jersey and some cleats to go play some sport?" "You see, that's your idea of normal Jim, so everyone else!" "That's what men do, Sarah!" "What men do  has to show you..." "nothing never changes..." "What that is supposed to mean?" "Okay..." "Do you remember when Connor was nine years old and in the baseball team and season after season you would drag him to sign up again and he could cry and cry and cry?" "But what did you do, Jim?" "You forced him to play." "So, what are you gonna do now?" "What if Connor isn't the child you wanted?" "What if he doesn't fit your idea what the perfect son is?" "According to them in the Bible, you know, is pretty much considered a sin." "It's the idea that if you're gay, you've been tempted and by fire for that temptation is just to fulfill your own greed." "Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 says:" ""Thou shall not lie with mankind as with womankind." "It is an abomination."" "So what your parents said when you came out..." "He is not an homosexual, Sarah." "What if he is?" "I will not have that in my house or in the church." "He is a child of God." "That is how I've raised him." "Regardless of who he is or who he likes, he is still our child." "You know, you may be able to force him to play baseball, but you can't force him to be something he is not!" "So, Connor, how have you kept this idea of accepting Alex even knowing he is gay?" "Most christians with your background just wouldn't be as tolerant and accepting as you seem to be with Alex" "Well, since they have been good friends for a while" "I don't think anything he says would change that, right?" "I mean, he saw the same person he was before." "Yeah, right!" "God, look at this place." "The grass's got so long since we had been here." "We've been alright." "Outside what happened...." "You know about what I told you, you know, that I like you..." "It's fine." "It doesn't seem fine." "Ever since I've told you, you have been distant with me." "What else do you think was gonna happen, Alex?" "Of course it's gonna be different." "I don't know." "I've always tried to do everything and I thought was something I should tell you." "What did you think, that was gonna tear our friendship?" "I know you're unhappy with your life." "It is not just about you, Alex." "Thank God you don't have to go through [...] now." "Beside you've been were so caught up in this GSA crap that I rarely get to see you anymore." "I mean, what if you get a boyfriend?" "You know, how nice..." "It bothers me." "Certainly, it's a distant lately, you know it just has been an allergy for me..." "What do you mean?" "That I think I'm gay." "What?" "Who else have you told?" "Nobody." "Just you." "How did you know?" "Because..." "I like you too." "I've been worried I won't tell you for ever, but..." "Connor, you don't have to explain." "How I'm gonna tell my parents?" "My dad will tell me everyday how wrong it is." "But if this is who you are, it will be perfect!" "Besides, no matter what, we'll still be best friends." "Wow, let's dance this coming out." "Alex, come on...." "I would love to, you know, but I can't." "I know, I understand..." "But I've got something for you though..." "Oh, thank you." "That's beautiful." "Thank you." "♫ You and I." "♫ Did you feel my heart beat" "♫ next to yours in that scene?" "♫ You and I," "♫ just you and I." "♫ And ain't it funny" "♫ how life turns the tables" "♫ in our time" "♫ and you can't rewind?" "♫ All the things that felt so right," "♫ I laid it down on the line," "♫ you and I." "♫ Did you feel my heart beat next to yours..." " Are you sure you don't wanna anything?" " No, I'm okay, just turning up" " Why?" "Don't wanna miss me too much." " Yeah." "Are five boxes." "Hey, is not that queer from our school?" "Over there." " Hey you, faggot." " Leave me alone!" " I see you're pretty, you little queer." " What do you want?" "Shut the fuck up." "Did you like that?" "Let's go." "What are you gonna do about it?" "Someone is coming in, dude!" "Alex..." "What the hell, man?" "Who are you?" "His fucking boyfriend?" "And what if I am?" " Come on, dude!" " Queers!" " Are you alright?" "What happened?" " I don't know." "Hello?" "What happened?" "Is he alright?" "What's going on?" "So, can you tell me exactly what happened?" "He just came to help me..." "What else?" "Connor, what are you doing in here?" "What happened?" "It was nothing." "Just some kids wanted to fight." "It was not a big deal." "Connor, are you alright?" "Connor, you know what did this to you, right?" "It's because you were with Alex." "I told you this was gonna happen." " Dad, would you stop?" " No, Connor, you listen to me." "You're better than this." "I've raised you better than this." "No!" "I like Alex." " No, you don't." " Yes, yeah, I do." "Connor, listen to me." "You don't like him." "You're confused, you're struggling with yourself." "You just need help." "Dad, I'm not struggling with this any longer." "That's it, this is who I am." "Who is struggling is with you trying to understand that." "This has nothing to do with you." "You can blame anyone you want, but this is not Alex's fault." "Maybe for once you can stop listening what the Bible says or what your friends at church are saying and start listening to your heart, because, maybe, one day you'll find some answers." "♫ Mom and Dad..." "Connor... ♫ Don't worry about your son," "♫ I'll be OK," "♫ I'll take these days one by one." " I'll owe you that." " What?" "You've been brave within there." " I think I'll owe you a dance" " Yeah?" "♫ At the end of the day all we have is" "♫ who we are." "♫ For now" "♫ I'll choose this life I live" "♫ And for now I'll choose" "♫ to take my hits" "♫ Cuz at the end of the day all we have is" "♫ who we are"
