Last evening Kay and I went to the movie, "For the Bible Tells Me So". It's a story about four families each with a Gay or Lesbian child - how the family handles the situation but, more importantly, how they applied what they believe the Bible tells them about homosexuality.
One family's son marries but realizes he's not being honest with his wife, children and himself and he leaves the marriage and eventually rises to become the Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire.
Another family's son is now a student at Harvard Divinity School. Richard Gebhart's daughter is featured as is the mother of a Lesbian who ends up committing suicide because her mother tells her she no longer accepts her as her daughter.
All through the show there are Bible-thumping Gerry Falwall-types and on the opposing side there are pastors and Bible scholars who explain what the Bible is really trying to say.
If this movie comes to a theater anywhere near where you live and you are in an alternative lifestyle, in a domestic partnership or gay relationship DO NOT MISS IT.
