For the Bible Tells Me So

For the Bible Tells Me So explores the values of the religious right and the homophobia arising from the perceived conflict between homosexuality and religion. The film interviews Christian families who have gay or lesbian members, and examines the challenges they face in accepting their homosexual loved ones.

The film addresses the gross misinterpretation of religious scripture that many religions have followed, including the insistence that God hates gay people. It features interviews with various religious authorities who explain why these interpretations are not valid and how theology and science defend the gay community.

Amid the political, societal and religious views presented, there is an underlying suggestion that fear of the unknown drives the unjust hatred of the gay community. Ultimately, the families featured in the documentary call for love and acceptance for everyone.
