For the Bible Tells Me So

Equality Arizona is teaming up with First Run Features and faith organizations from across the state to bring award winning documentary "For the Bible Tells Me So" to Arizona through out the Spring.

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? The film notes, most Christians no longer feel it is necessary to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp though the Bible still reads that way. "For the Bible Tells Me So" allows viewers to discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child by walking them through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families.


The opening presentation of For the Bible Tells me So will be held at the Church of Beatitudes on Tuesday, February 10th starting at 7:00pm. The film will be followed by an open and frank discussion with faith and community leaders about the impact and implications of the film and how this divide between the religious and lgbt community might be bridged in Arizona. All are welcome with an open mind and a $5 suggested donation.
