Seeing this film made me feel like America should pursue in solving homophobia more. The problem is that it is bigger country then the rest of the world so there are varieties of religions that puts hatred into people's throats and thats when family relationships fall apart if their loved ones gay. Anna's mum was very well spoken on how the Catholic Church treated her with regards to her daughter being gay but unfortunately, the extremely saddest part was Anna couldn't handle being unloved as a gay person anymore and hanged herself. It makes feel like that society needs to wake up and understand the realistic of being a gay person. Lets see, you were that same person yesterday but what about today? You are still you and that will not change. Why can't anyone question this, it takes a minute to realize the right answer. They say if we all looked the same, it would be boring right? Well it ain't true, our personalities are different but there is one thing that we all need = respect. In the film, I felt very heartbroken that Jake and his parents were arrested because they were just awesome the way they wanted to bring peace and love to the ones that needs a nudge to reality. I think the law everywhere should look it homophobia more because again it has gotten out of control. I want to say well done to everyone involved in the film and I hope that more love will blossom on this troubled earth.

For The Bible Tells Me So is a good movie to watch for people who are interested in understanding/learning about gays and lesbians in Christian communities. The film is centred around Christian families who have gay/lesbian children and their struggle to accept them due to preexisting stereotypes of LGBT people and the hostile conditions these individuals in their communities.I personally like the film. I think that it is very educational and it does a great job at getting people to understand why it is very important to accept LGBT people into our communities. I've always agreed with the LGBT movement and thought it is important that we support these people. I knew that coming out can have a big impact on family relations and I knew that its effects could sometimes be catastrophic, especially if it was a fundamentalist Christian family who believe that "God hates gays". As a result, I always assumed that the Church was the problem and that hardcore Christians were to blame. I thought that these Christians were hypocrites for hating gays since the Bible teaches love, not hate. I was delighted to find out that these people have changed after finding out that their child was gay, albeit slowly.One thing I did learn from this film is that people are homophobic because their fear of how gays have sexual intercourse, fear of people different than "normal" people, fear of men playing the role of a woman (this is due to the misconception that men are superior to women), and indoctrination by their superiors (eg. Church, parents, etc...). The only way to get past this is to become educated in this issue, which can be difficult for many people who take the Bible literally and choose to ignore science (though these people can again be called hypocrites, do they REALLY follow ALL the laws set in the Bible? What about not wearing a piece of clothing made out of two different fabrics?).Again, I recommend this film for people who are interested in the plight of LGBT people. In fact, I really hope all homophobic people watch this film. One needs to understand another's situation and stance before they can form a concrete and valid opinion.

The movie focuses on several individuals, who belonged to very dedicated, practicing Christian families. Many stories begin with initial confusion, as the individuals, at a very young age, feel different. This later develops into realization as they don't feel the same way for the opposite sex as they know they should. Many opened up to their families, only to be met with disbelief, rejection and even change being forced upon them. Their parents, being dedicated Christians, attempt to change them, or ask that they keep their homosexuality under covers, and in one case flat out reject that part of their child. A large theme of the first half of the film involves the parents rejecting their children, as well as Christian views on the subject. People are shown stating homosexuality to be an abomination, and even people reveling in gay bashing and abuse. However, in the second half, parents open up to their children, and learn to accept them. Arguments against Christian views on homosexuality are posed, and further support for homosexuality is shown. The film ends with the lesson that parents must accept their child's homosexuality, and be caring, without trying to suppress or hide that part of their child. If not, the end result could be fatal.

I didn't realize just how many people hate Homosexuals and how they treat them. This is NOT RIGHT! They have to right to marry the one they love, the Bible's basis is to LOVE! If that person who you feel completes you and you want to spend the rest of your life with is of the same gender then GO RIGHT AHEAD AND MARRY THEM! BE HAPPY! YOLO! This movie tackles one of the most prevalent issues in todays modern society. I was extremely glad that this movie takes a look at so many different cases of LGBT people and their struggles, from those for whom it was very hard, even leading to suicide, for those who had help along the way, and for those that fought tooth and nail to have their rights and be accepted. This movie is what I hope that everybody will be able to watch and understand. This movie shows the opinions of many people for and against Homosexual relationships, but I explains with actual evidence why Homosexuality shouldn't be condemned and accepted and why people are misreading quotes from the Bible and now understanding them. This movie also explains WHY people hate homosexuals, they really cover most of the bases and I think this is a film that all should see.I learned many statistics watching this movie and I loved the animation of the reasons why homosexuality should be accepted in really simple terms so that people of all educations can understand it while still showing important facts right under out noses that some people are to lazy to see.I think the most surprising thing that I learned was that people are quoting sets laws that they themselves don't follow and are to narrow minded to think that maybe just maybe there is more to the Bible than what reads. Hypocrites are what surround us.
