"Powerful! A brave and noble effort to heal a gaping wound in our society."

"Confronts with whimsy and hellfire, the clash between [the Christian] religion and homosexuality."

-- New York Magazine

"An incredibly powerful film everybody should see. It restores your faith in people."

-- National Public Radio

Dick Gephardt and his family are featured along with four other families in this exploration of how the alleged Biblical condemnation of homosexuality plays out in families with gay sons or daughters. (In fact the Gephardt family -- in a photograph when their children were young -- is on the cover of the DVD.)

It's a solid, personally absorbing documentary that unobtrusively allows you to know the challenges each family faced in accepting their children -- and how the commonly accepted fundamentalist homophobic dogma often creates obstacles to the most important family value of an embracing love.

Review from Newsday:

"For some, it will be nostalgic seeing that old gay-bashing beauty queen Anita Bryant getting a pie in the face, or the not-yet-scandalous preacher Jimmy Swaggart endorsing murder in God's name, as long as it involved homosexuality. ("It's a bomnation!!!")

But this rational, human and very serious documentary by Daniel Karslake gets at the historical distortions of the Good Book as well as the ease with which holy writings have been used in America to propagate hate.

Although the gay issue, vis a vis religion, is the heart of the film, Karslake ultimately cuts a wider swath by showing how Leviticus, for instance - the part of the Old Testament that advises against homosexuality, but in favor of child slavery - is a chapter of convenience, in a book subject to violent misreadings. No handwringing or bile-spewing in this entertaining film, but plenty of reasoned examination."
