Synopsis
Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? Director Daniel Karslake’s provocative and entertaining documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely very Christian, very American families—including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson—we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child.

Reviews
"For the Bible Tells Me So is never less than lively and stimulating in its arguments, even detouring into a very amusing cartoon dealing with the evidence that sexual orientation is biologically determined."
- Justin Chang, VARIETY
"Daniel Karslake approaches these families forthrightly, without a hint of judgment over the questions of faith and morality they're wrestling with."
