This film explores the intersections between Christianity and homosexuality through the stories of five U.S. Christian families who have gay children. Featured families include those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson. The film is informed by respected voices such as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech. Phil, Randi and Jacob Reitan (formerly of Mankato, currently of Eden Prairie, MN) are also featured in the film; Phil and Randi will be present at the Friday, March 14 screening as part of an educational panel following the viewing.
