For the Bible Tells Me So (2007)

Inspires me to re-educate the church....

I was raised believing homosexuality was detestable and anyone who "practiced" homosexuality were going to hell...no ifs ands or buts. I was raised baptist and my dad was a preacher so there were zero questions about women with other women. That is, until I met my partner. I was so afraid of being with her that I tried to break it off the 2nd day we were together. Anyway, we've been together for 2 and half years and I'm happier with her than I've ever been with ANYONE! That being said, my sexuality and spirituality are very sensitive topics for me. I believe it is unfair how the LGBT gets little chance at salvation with the society we live in. That condemnation from society alone had led me to question if God loved me in the past. This film is beneficial for anyone with a gay family member, friend or the actual gay person who may be questioning religion and homosexuality. I loved the film and will definitely watch it again and again in the future. I will say though, that my heart went out to the African American girl who's family still hadn't accepted her lifestyle. I deal with that too. I find it saddening how my race (AA) are harsher on LGBT than any other race, or at least I think so...smh. Anyway it is truly an educational experience and I think any and every one should watch it!
