Thursday, August 21, 7:00 – 9:00pm Refreshments will be served in the Library Gallery from 6-7 For the Bible Tells Me So, with panel to follow. Director: David Karslake (98 mins) Executive Producer: Michael Huffington This award-winning documentary brilliantly reveals how right-wing religious anti-gay bias is based upon misinterpretations and misquotes of the Bible. Through the experiences of five families -- including former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson -- the film portrays how open-hearted people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. 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. The film includes footage of SoulForce's action at Focus on Family, as families with gay children staged acts of civil disobediences at their door. The winner of numerous festival awards including the coveted Audience Award at LA's OutFest, critics have this to say about the film: “Heartfelt and provocative…moving and rewardingly intimate." -- Variety “Confronts, with whimsy and hellfire, the clash between religion and homosexuality.” -- New York Magazine "Powerful…a brave and noble effort to heal a gaping wound in our society.” -- Salon.com Co-sponsored by the City of Boulder Office of Human Rights and the First United Methodist Church Reconciling Ministries Committee Please join us with PFLAG on August 12 at the Boulder Public Library!
