Just saw these two things in the past couple days and since they're related I wanted to post them.
First is a Lifetime movie based on a book which is based on a true story called "Prayers For Bobby" about a boy who, in 1984, committed suicide because he was gay and couldn't resolve this with his family and his religion - the mom is played by Sigorney Weaver, the Lifetime website has several additional videos including an interview with the real mom, who is now an advocate for GLBT children who are contemplating suicide. Erin and I watched the whole movie and it is very powerful.

The second is a recent video about a Mormon guy who was going to commit suicide, thinking his family would never accept him for being gay - this one fortunately turned out a lot better (6:07):
