This scene just gets right to the heart of it. We all have to wrestle with that question, "can't you see how beautiful He made you?" Whether or not we believe in God, it's about seeing the beauty in ourselves. Being able to love ourselves, come out to ourselves, and embrace ourselves fully - that's the real coming out.
I had a very similar conversation with my Dad back in the 1990s. Times have obviously changed, since, but the issue was that I didn't want to hurt and disappoint Mom and Dad. Little did I know just how human they were ...and how great they were. Now mind you, Dad had been a Marine Drill Instructor during the Korean War. That man was tough and he feared nothing. Fortunately, I got to know my parents, as people, years before they passed. Sometimes, people will surprise you.
Except for those who believe in HE that continue to believe that Henry's should not exist. You can't have it both ways - either HE believes that being is okay or he doesn't? So which HE do you believe in?
Not only was he afraid to reveal his sexuality to his grandfather, but he also was afraid to reveal it to the rest of the town he grew up in. Despite the fact that they're probably already aware of it, he really should've opened up to the whole town, not just his grandfather. And that he should fully embrace the support he has gained from everyone. And this scene displays that perfectly.
John ` it’s a movie and it was intended to be idealistic. there is no town in montana whose townsfolk would all be invested in making a relationship between two men happen. i see this movie as a safe space. a haven and a heaven for gay people who struggle with everyday’s homophobia. it is our eden.
I remember watching a directors cut of this movie and the whole premise is that its a complete revers of how reality is to show lgbt people that their own internalized homophobia is another factor that prevents people from being happy that even if the whole world accepts it the lgbt person has to also accept it.

“Can’t you see how beautiful He made you?” gets me every time
Yup. Every time.

@@DAS1962 if He made us in his image then we are all perfect
This scene has me in tears. Every time.
One of this movie's most powerful scenes. Great acting on everyone's part.
I can't believe it's been 15 years since that movie came out, and still manages to make me emotional!! Loved it!!!
One of my favorite films.
Not only was he afraid to reveal his sexuality to his grandfather, but he also was afraid to reveal it to the rest of the town he grew up in.

So glad I have this on DVD.

Well said.
I remember watching a directors cut of this movie and the whole premise is that its a complete revers of how reality is to show lgbt people that their own internalized homophobia is another factor that prevents people from being happy that even if the whole world accepts it the lgbt person has to also accept it.
In the context of the film itself, I’d say this dialogue is very real. Organic and authentic.
its been 4 years but you still need to shut the fuck up sorry
