Event
For the Bible Tells Me So
United States, 2007, 95 minutes, English
Directed by Daniel Karslake
Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American familiesincluding those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinsonwe 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.
"No handwringing or bile-spewing in this entertaining film, but plenty of reasoned examination...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." New York Newsday
