Okay, I saw this movie on CMT (I'm pretty sure.. ) It was placed in kind of an older time and a country setting. I barely remember it but I remember it being about a nicer looking, tan guy who got drunk and kissed or had sex with a guy thinking it was a girl. The next day he was telling this girl who was in love with him about it.. Anyway, the guy ended up killing himself.. Jumping off a bridge from the town. I'm pretty sure the movie ends with the girl finding out and talking about something and I think she was pregnant? I hope someone knows what movie this is because I would love to find it and watch it again! Thanks! :)

Ode to Billy Joe (1976)
Starring Robby Benson, Glynnis O'Connor
IMDb synopsis:
At last, we're given the answers to the questions raised by the haunting 1967 Bobbie Gentry song of the same title. Eighteen-year-old Billy Joe McAllister is in love with Bobbie Lee, but her father refuses to allow her to receive gentlemen callers before she's 16. In the Mississippi Delta, in a time before the boondocks had seen television and indoor plumbing, a young man's fancy turns constantly to thoughts of love. Billy Joe is no different in this regard, and his persistence is making it difficult for Bobbie Lee to maintain her virtue. Perhaps an indictment of the artificial conventions of society, the film demonstrates the tragic consequences of a young couple's first awkward grapplings with love and sex. Then, there is that traumatic event that drives Billy Joe to his fatal decision.
