After he told his family that he was a homosexual Bobby quickly became a project that had to be fixed. He was raised by a very religious family, homosexual was known as a sin. I knew that being gay meant that he wouldn't be with his family in the after life. And he wanted to be so badly,that was why he tried almost everything that his mother wanted him Toronto such as going to a psychiatrist, going to sunday lesson and doing a bunch of other things that was not even necessary. Bobby felt alone no one understood what he was going through. He couldn't even act like himself anymore around his mother and everyone else. He had move to Portland for two months with his cousin. He wanted to figure out the person that he became.while he was living in Portland he met someone, someone that made him few good about who he truly was but yet he was still uncomfortable accepting the fact that he was gay.
"If I could only know that it gets easier afterward. But it's just so hard" (Aaron's 119)
Bobby thought that telling his parents that he was gay was the hardest part but actually after coming out to your parents is the most second hardest thing he had to do. Now he had to come out to the world and for Bobby that difficult.

Prayers for Bobby by Leroy Aaron pages 1-105

The book Prayers for Bobby started with a summary of the protagonist. It showed Bobby coming of age and how him being gay started in the beginning. It all started on his grandmother's birthday, they were having a barbeque for her. At first Bobby was the kind of person that didn't really accept himself for whom he's really was. So he would try to have a girlfriend and dump them afterward. Bobby was very good at what he used to do although he felt bad for the girls, he would make them fall in love with them. His mother never saw that he was pretending this whole time actually she never saw that Bobby was different. It was actually the opposite. To her Bobby was the perfect son, he was smart, he was good looking and he loves his family unconditionally. That was one of the main reason why Bobby was having second thought about coming out to his family. Finally one day Bobby decided to tell his older brother what was troubling him. He finally told him that he was gay although Bobby knew that his brother felt immediately awkward after. He made his brother promise not to tell but it wasn't about telling or not to tell his parents, it was about what they were going to say after they knew.
"Bobby, it doesn't matter what it is. I'm never going to stop loving you." (Aarons 74)
The main reason why I liked this quote is because at first Ed Bobby's brother was telling him how much he loves him but after he was told that his brother was you could feel Bobby and Ed being apart from each other.
