FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO

A Film by Daniel Karslake

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm =
separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the =
Bible an excuse to hate?

Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle =
International Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining =
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.=20

As the film notes, most Christians live their lives today without =
feeling obliged to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp =
(as a literal reading of scripture dictates).

Through the experiences of five very average, very Christian, very =
American families=E2=80=94including those of former House Majority =
Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson=E2=80=94we =
discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having =
a gay child.=20

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.
