After "It Could Happen to You," a YouTube video made by Shane Bitney Crone in response to the accidental death of his boyfriend Tom Bridegroom became a viral sensation (more than 4.1 million views), the story was turned into an award winning film.
On October 27, Bridegroom, a crowd-funded documentary directed by Linda Bloodworth Thomason which broke Kickstarter records , will have its TV premiere on Oprah's OWN network. It showed earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival winning the Audience Award for Best Documentary.
Bridgeroom will be part of a special night of programming on OWN about being gay in America that will include an Oprah's Next Chapter interview segment with Wanda Sykes, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Scandal's Dan Bucatinsky.

can't wait to see this beautiful movie. i hope the parents have learned something since then but I bet they haven't. so sad that all parents can't just LOVE their children unconditionally.
