God and Gays: Bridging the Gap

God and Gays: Bridging the Gap explores the struggle that Christians have reconciling sexuality and spirituality. Looking inside the head, heart and lives of the people who have found this issue in today's culture as their self-defining work. Interviews include Rev. Mel White, co-founder of SoulForce and former ghostwriter for the leaders of the religious right, speaks on Bible interpretation and its use. Rev. Deborah L. Johnson, a New Thought pioneer discusses the rationale that this is a very basic diversity issue and asks the question: do you love me for who I am or for what I do? Jason Stuart, an open Jewish comic/ actor in Los Angeles describes in detail the loss of his relationship to his sister and her kids due solely to his orientation. Other interviewees are still "in the closet," some have previously attempted suicide and one fundamentalist mother got her wish when her daughter killed herself. Author Darlene Bogle echoes this as she describes her 15 years in Exodus Ministries before recognizing she was ultimately numbing her humanity. God and Gays is an open and honest reflection of what it's like to be gay and religious in America. Previously, this voice was silent. Now, we hear the stories of suicide, separation, sadness and ultimately acceptance and reconciliation. Reconciliation is real, see for yourself. (Indican Pictures)
