3. What a beautiful, sweet, educational, movie
tears in my eyes . . . thank you for posting this.

I ESPECIALLY recommend part 7.1 for the scene where Dick Gephardt and his family talk about his daughter's coming out and what a great response they had.

5. Kick - Come on, this is the BEST movie I have ever seen on
homosexuality, the phenomenon, the destructiveness of typical church attitudes, the pain of coming out, the joy of families supporting each other, the reality of gay bashing, the dumb literal reading of the Bible, the anguish of gay suicide, the hopefulness of working together for justice and kindness, the triumph of caring people over bigots, and the science of sexual alignment.

Great stuff.

6. IMO
Desmond Tutu adds credibility to any doubters.

I wish I could find the 60 Minutes interview with Gene Robinson from a couple years ago. It was just brilliant. The catholics and bible thumpers can have the Prada wearing Pope. Gene Robinson is MY POPE!

7. Thank you for posting it
Really wonderful stuff. I have a few friends and relatives who are gay. I hate always sending them "gay" articles and items, but this is really a humane, terrific movie. And it puts things in perspective re: religion in a very smart, scholarly way.

8. Just so people don't accidentally miss part of this...
Just so people don't accidentally miss part of this...

Between Parts Three and Four there's a Part 3.2:

The Part Seven link in the OP is really a link to Part 7.2. Before that, after Part Six, is Part 7.1:
