• Plot: Does God really condemn loving homosexual relationships? Is the chasm separating Christianity from gays and lesbians too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? These questions and more are answered in this award-winning documentary, which brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture -- and reveals that religious anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a misinterpretation of the Bible. ; ; Through the experiences of five very normal, Christian, American families -- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child or family members. ; ; Offering healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity, this landmark film 'boldly takes on a loaded topic and examines it both intellectually and emotionally; the result may well leave you blinking away a few tears.'
