Event Info:
Sponsored by PFLAG Spartanburg! This film tactfully examines the conflict between the LGBTQ community and religious communities.
Winner of the Audience Choice award at the Tampa Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, this film really explores the conflict between religious groups and the LGBTQ community in an honest and meaningful way. It also explores what the LGBTQ community initially looks like when you are still using the lens that comes from an evangelical background, which is something that a lot of us can relate to.
I hope you can join us for this amazing film; we will be having discussions before and after the film as well.
Here are remarks from Tugg, who is handling the logistics of this event:
