For the Bible tells me so / [videorecording] / a Vision Quest/Atticus Group production ; For the Bible Tells Me So ; directed and produced by Daniel Karslake ; co-producers, Helen Mendoza, Nancy Kennedy.
Brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and reveals that religious anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a misinterpretation of the Bible. Through the experiences of five very normal, Christian, American families - including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson - discover how people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child or family member.
