Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary, For The Bible Tells Me So, brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible.

Rev. Bob Graetz, friend of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., has criss-crossed the country, preaching and teaching, including in the heartland of America, the Midwest, which is mis-touted by some as a bastion of conservatism that is purported to condemn and freeze-out anyone who doesn’t conform to a narrow principle.

Rev. Graetz and his wife have served as instructors at The Soulforce Institute for Nonviolent Change, also held in the supposedly ‘closed’ Midwest.

Soulforce is an interfaith movement which uses the nonviolent principles of
M.K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. to end spiritual violence perpetuated by
religious policies against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered
people.

Among other instructors of Soulforce: Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma
Gandhi; Dr. Rodney Powell, who helped lead the Freedom Rides and lunch
counter sit-ins; and Rev. Dr. Mel White, author of Stranger at the Gate: To
Be Gay and Christian in America.
