For the Bible Tells Me So

Watch the trailer:

Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary, For The Bible Tells Me So, brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible.

Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families -- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson, and the Reitan Family -- 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, Soulforce's Mel White, 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. Much of the footage was taken from the Soulforce direct action outside Focus on the Family in May, 2005.
