Seventh-Gay Adventists DVD
Caught between two worlds, three gay and lesbian Seventh-day Adventists who love God and their church struggle with how to reconcile their faith, identity, and sexuality. One young man spent five years in “ex-gay” therapy trying to become straight, but now he’s falling in love with another man. Another was an Adventist pastor in Brazil who was fired for being gay. Can he find his calling again? And a lesbian mom from the Midwest wants her daughters to grow up with their faith and traditions, even though she knows her church might not always accept their family. This film shares their raw and moving journeys as they wrestle with deep questions and seek to find a place where they can integrate identity, love, and belief.
“This film is, hands down, the best bridge-building film in this genre that I’ve seen.”
— Andrew Marin, author of "Love Is An Orientation"
“A beautiful and compelling film...Anyone who has felt their faith and sexuality are in conflict will instantly get this film.”
— Sharon Groves, religion and faith program, Human Rights Campaign
