For the Bible Tells Me So
 
“Confronts, with whimsy and hellfire, the clash between religion and homosexuality." - New York Magazine
 
 

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Dan Karslake's provocative documentary 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 families -- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO offers understanding and healing to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.
