BOY ERASED | Official Trailer | Focus Features

Watch Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe in the new trailer for #BoyErased, featuring the new original song “Revelation” by Troye Sivan & Jónsi. Written for the screen and directed by Joel Edgerton, based on Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith and Family by Garrard Conley.

“Boy Erased” tells the story of Jared (Hedges), the son of a Baptist pastor in a small American town, who is outed to his parents (Kidman and Crowe) at age 19. Jared is faced with an ultimatum: attend a conversion therapy program – or be permanently exiled and shunned by his family, friends, and faith. Boy Erased is the true story of one young man’s struggle to find himself while being forced to question every aspect of his identity.

You put him in conversion therapy with Troye Sivan and you thought it would work?

[SafirAksel]

Fun fact: The real life pastor in this film just quit being in that program and turns out actually gay and now have a husband.

I was married to a gay man who wanted nothing more than to be straight. The extent our church went to in order to "pray the gay away" was disgusting. Nothing "Godly" about the bullshit they spewed. He is still my absolute soul mate and nothing makes me happier than when he and his partner bring their two adopted children over for family dinners. The church set him and myself up for so much pain. It hurt like hell when I knew I had to let him be who is was/is but after some time to heal I wouldn't trade our new dynamic for the world.

The part when he says “because you’re making me angry” really gets me and I don’t know why

[shannonswartz]

When my daughter came out to me, I already knew. I had always known. But I cried for days. Only because I KNEW that people she loved...family...would disappoint her by not accepting who she was. I will protect her with everything I have, though. She deserves a beautiful life and I swear to God, she WILL have it.

As a Christian I am emotional just watching the trailer! It breaks my heart there are people using Gods name to spread hate and discrimination. God CAN and DOES love you the way you are. Anyone telling you something different is mistaken.

[ainulyaqin]

Lmao, putting gay men in a camp with Troye Sivan doesn't work.

[gabymartinez]

My parents sent me to an all girls catholic school to avoid me having boyfriend but guess who has a new girlfriend every 3 months?

[mediawatcher]

I’m not gay or Christian, but this is truly heartbreaking on every level, I feel for these people.

[AndyZaturno]

When he breaks the news that he is gay, I started crying watching Nicole Kidmans reaction! It was so real. Like she knew in that moment her entire world was gonna about to change.

[drakedrones]

I am a straight woman. I do not understand homophobia. How can this be a problem to anyone is beyond my comprehension! 2 adults love each other, want to be together, don’t wanna hurt anyone ——> where is the problem in accepting this situation?

[DavidDitmore]

Thanks everybody for supporting the movie. It was an honor to have a role in this movie - I played "Phillip" - I was one of the conversion camp attendees. If you have any questions about the production of the movie - ask a question in the comments and I'll answer what I can. Thanks again!

Christians: "God loves all"
Also Christians: "God cannot love you if you are gay"

[dmartine]

Just watched this movie and OMG I cried my eyes out. I’m a 35 year old closeted male, and in my family it’s not accepted. I don’t want to loose my family so I learned how to fake it till you make it. It’s not healthy but I’m content. Maybe in another life I’ll get to live my true life. Not seeking attention, i just related so much to this movie.

[MyvIsLove]

I want to live in a world where everyone gets accepted for who they are. no matter their skin, their origin, their sexuality, their interests etc.

let people live. let them be happy. being happy is the most important thing in life

"stop using religion to hate people"

"A mother knows when something isn't right."

Powerful stuff.

As a believer and a out gay man (I'm currently 25 years old) I first saw this when I was 23 years old. A friend at my church actually told me to watch this. It brought me to tears. I'm very lucky that although I lost my church I went to when I came out, a lot of friends. I didn't lose my faith. I was lucky to have found a place to call my home spiritually. But I believe all Christians need to see this movie. It's so moving.
