It may sound ridiculous but I was really touched by Dan and Aja and their love and willingness to bring awareness and respect for the LGBTQ to the state of Utah and the Mormon faith.I'm not really an Imagine Dragons fan and had never heard of Aja before watching this documentary but I heard a lot of buzz about it so I dove in. Well put together documentary and Dan and Aja seemed really in love with each other and their cause. Seemed heartfelt through everything they did and said. And have such a nice family with three adorable young daughters. I googled Dan and Aja after I watched the documentary, it was said to see they filed for divorce so soon after the filming of this documentary wrapped up filming. I really hope their beliefs in their cause to help the LBGTQ community aren't a sham like apparently the view of their marriage was.

Does the world forget what the Bible and Quran actually say? Maybe you should all read it again and this time instead of twisting the words to what you want them to say how about take them at face value. Help your kids understand what wrong with their feelings etc.. instead of incuraging them to do something that is so easily and openly explained to be wrong in the Bible and the Quran.

What a beautiful piece! I caught this at Sundance and it absolutely was my favorite film of the weekend. It was incredibly courageous and such a necessary catalyst for change. Hopefully the Mormon leaders will see this film and feel a need to listen to the voices of the gay youth sitting in their very pews. I believe that this film will save lives. Our gay youth need to see this film and feel the much needed love and acceptance they deserve. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time and my heart was broken but also given hope for a future of equality and acceptance. I have no idea how someone could watch this film and walk away with a negative view of it unless they were just searching for a reason to spew hate. I enjoyed listening to Reynolds interview on NPR recently and got further insight in to the reasoning behind the creation of this documentary and could feel his sense of passion and determination. We need more straight allies to shed light on our gay youth and the unfortunate situations they are often born in to due to religion and family situations.I'm looking forward to the film coming out on HBO to share it with my family and friends. Hopefully it will open up some of their conservative eyes and help them to see the sad truth of religious guilt upon our children.What a beautiful film!
