For the Bible Tells Me So
Daniel Karslake’s documentary film, “For the Bible Tells Me So” (2007), addresses homophobia within the Christian faith through the example of five families. The Bible has been widely interpreted in Leviticus 20 to condemn homosexuality, labeling it an “abomination.” The belief that homosexuality is a sin causes tension within Christian families, with the film primarily focusing on the parent-child relationship. From disownment to suicide, seemingly irreparable family divides are created from a child being gay. This documentary offers hope, however, through a growing population of Christians who do not interpret the Bible as damning gays and instead embraces and loves homosexual friends and family members unconditionally.

great but a line or two about the importance of the documentary in the context of the queer film documentary timeline would help.
