Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families -- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity. |

For the Bible Tells Me So Monday, March 3 Presented in 35mm Director: Country of Origin: Country of Focus: Length: |
"A brisk, entertaining and even moving exploration of the sometimes frayed intersection where Christianity meets homosexuality." WASHINGTON POST "In this involving if slightly unfocused documentary, director Daniel Karslake takes a two-pronged approach in examining how religion has been interpreted -- some would say twisted -- into, at its worst, monomaniacal homophobia." PORTLAND OREGONIAN "This rational, human and very serious documentary by Daniel Karslake gets at the historical distortions of the Good Book as well as the ease with which holy writings have been used in America to propagate hate." NEWSDAY "Its main surprise is the compassion shown toward everyone, on all sides of the debate. It does not vilify those who vilify gays." HOUSTON CHRONICLE "For the Bible Tells Me So probes the conflict between an obdurate force and a movable object, hoping against hope and the laws of physics that one can sway the other." BOSTON GLOBE |
