Beckie Supiano’s story about a new pro-gay documentary, “For the Bible Tells Me So,” is available, courtesy of our friends over at the Dallas Morning News.

The documentary traces each family’s experience of wrestling with how their child’s sexuality fits in with their moral and religious beliefs. Some come to accept it; others learn to love their children while continuing to believe homosexuality is wrong.

One parent’s strained relationship with her daughter ends with the girl’s suicide. That mother, Mary Lou Wallner, became a gay rights activist.

“The gay kids are in the film, but it’s really about those parents,” said the film’s director, Daniel Karslake, at a discussion following the film’s Washington premiere. The decision to focus on the parents was strategic. “The film was made with a conservative Christian audience in mind.”
