Weaver stars in this emotional true story about a
1970s religious suburban housewife and mother who
struggles to accept her young son Bobby being gay.
What happens to Bobby is tragic and causes Mary to
question her faith; ultimately this mom changes her
views in ways that she never could have imagined.
Based on the book of the same title by Leroy Aarons.
Can the love between two
people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating
gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is
the Bible an excuse to hate? Through the experiences of
five very normal, very Christian, very American
families, we discover how insightful people of faith
handle the realization of having a gay child.
The true story an
American nun who is defying a Vatican edict that she end
her compassionate ministry to gay Catholics, and silence
herself on the subject of homosexuality. She eventually
attempts an audience with her key adversary in Rome —
none other than Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger — the
Inquisitor who would become Pope Benedict XVI.
With remarkable honesty,
humor, and real heart, this film cleverly weaves
together true stories of couples and singles -- both gay
and straight -- to celebrate what we all have in common:
we love. Who’s gay? Who’s straight? Who’s with whom?
At first, as they are interviewed separately, we don't
quite know. As their stories unfold and
stereotypes fall by the wayside, you won’t care anymore
because you’ll be rooting for everybody!
