Prayers for Bobby by Leroy Aaron pages 105-157

Coming out wasn't the easiest thing to do in Bobby's eyes to be honest. He had to deal with his parents and especially his mother looking at him diffrently. 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.
