Chris, not all Christians have ignorant battle axes. If you really think that, take a closer look at Robinson, Spong, Schori and others in the Episcopal Church. Even as a former Episcopalian and as a Humanist, I will defend those who are like them, because they are NOT hateful bigots etc, but very humanistic in their beliefs. Bishop Schori and Bishop Spong were one of the few clergy who got Fr. Robinson, who is Gay, into the priesthood. They do not have one hateful bone in their bodies and are VERY humanistic.

That said, however, I’m not expecting it to say anything that hasn’t been said before. There is definitely a minority of Christians who don’t have a problem with gay people or homosexuality.

The operative word there is “minority”. The majority still sees people like me as being sub-human.

Fortunately for me, opinions of the ignorant just don’t matter a whit to me anymore. But I live in circumstances were homophobia is simply not a huge concern for me anymore.

There are far too many people who are living in other circumstances, in which they can be rendered homeless, jobless, or in direct physical danger because of the prevailing Christian attitudes toward GLBT people. Not to mention those of us living in predominantly Islamic countries, where the problems are mulitiplied exponentially.

The alternative view I’d like to see presented in “For the Bible Tells Me So” is the path that I’d like to see more GLBT people take.

Rejecting Christianity altogether.

Although as Arlen pointed out, I suspect the people who need to see the movie probably will not, which is a shame…
