    This song is so sad, and so sadly rings true with so many people. My mom accepted me when I came out as bi, and I am so thankful for that, but this song really strikes a chord with me.

    I rarely cry at sad things. I just hide it away inside. But this made me cry so much and I'm trying not to cry as I write this simply because of the memories of how powerful this song is, and it enabled me to release years of hidden emotions.

    Hello?

    There's something that you need to know
    CLAIRE
    Gone a week, I miss you already
    PETER
    I'm just gonna spit it out

    How are rehearsals going?

    You probably guessed it years ago
    Still it's kinda hard to say
    CLAIRE
    Peter we're so excited about the play
    PETER
    It's something that I've spent so long not saying
    CLAIRE
    I called your father, he swore he'd be there
    PETER
    Sometimes it's on the tip on my tongue
    But only spoken aloud, alone while I'm praying
    CLAIRE
    Well, I'd like to tape it but honestly Peter, I'm not gonna be one of those parents
    PETER
    Silence seemed the only way

      Jordan, be strong! Your parents may not WANT to listen now, but they will, and they will love you. Look, I'm a straight Christian man, but, I want you to be you. If you need support, there are people who care. Have strength, Be you. I mean all of this from the bottom of my heart, and I hope it helps. Even if your parents can't accept you, I promise you, there are SO many of us....so many accepting of you. So many who will see you. I will pray for you, that your parents see the person you are, that they see you, they accept you. If not, we can be your family. Be strong. Be you. please. Be happy above all.

      I just skype with my mom few hours ago, I let out a information about one person I know is gay trying to see her reaction (she doesn't know him well so basically it won't do any bad to that person except I felt kinda bad I "used" him). then she bombard me with how that is Satan's work, that Satan's nature become that person. She even used examples. I come from an extremely, when I say extremely, I meant Lord's Recovery Christian background. if you know about us, you know how strong the truth is among us. So I believe in God, I want to do what He wants. but I can't control my feelings. My feelings towards men. My feelings towards same gender. I tried for so many years, saying prayer, pray so hard and cry that I can be straight. I begged God to change who I am, that I don't want to be gay. That I can be who God wants me to be. I can be what Bible taught me to be. but as my age grow, my feelings toward same gender love grow even stronger. That I crave for a man to love me. I have never been in a relationship because of that. I can't cheat a girl, I can't pretend to love her and hurt her. I don't know why am I telling you all these. I know it's useless because it doesn't change a damn thing. Thank you though for saying nice words to me. Thank you to even take time to do that. You're a good guy.

    It's not the most the most pleasing song, in vocals, and not even the most emotional or darkest one (I mean a song about a girl impregnated by a man who doesn't and will never love her, and yano the dead guy song) but to me it's one of the most intense songs you feel like your listening to this call and just the nervousness of Peter, to the heartbreak, I understand Claire I really do the girls doesn't know what to do and she thought maybe a Catholic school would help but Claire darling baby honey boo sugar you have to love your son gay straight god damn ot Claire just tell him you love him
