For the BIBLE tells me so
Brilliantly constructed, ably researched and deftly directed Daniel Karslake's award winning, and timely documentary for the BIBLE tells me so focuses on the issue of religion and homosexuality through the experiences of five Christian American families, including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson. Informed by the voices of greatly respected leaders of faith including Bishop Desmond Tutu, and Rabbi Zachary Mayer for the BIBLE tells me so explores the way religious conservatives have systematically misled the public into believing that the Bible forbids homosexuality and how this campaign of misinterpretation continues to stigmatize the gay community and threatens America's rapidly diminishing separation of church and state today.
While Karslake does reclaim some Biblical scriptures of our own there is no easy answer to the age old question "are homosexuals welcome in the kingdom of God?" Ultimately it is not homosexuality which is the greatest abomination but ignorance and hatred.
