in June of 2005 a Memphis teenager tells his parents he is gay, and they respond by telling him he must go to a fundamentalist christian program for gays. The teenager recorded his experiences leading up to his time in the program on his MySpace.com internet blog...This documentary follows the story as it unfolds into a national concern. As the story unfolds, people from Memphis, and around the country tell their own stories of coming out, featuring former clients of Love In Action, parents, teens, those who've sinced gone on to accept themselves through years of pressure and fear, as well as the people who share their struggles, and have come to stand against homophobia. This documentary, a preface to an ongoing story here in the MidSouth, also poses the question: What does love in action look like?
The screening will be followed by a talk back session with QAC members who took part in protesting Love In Action, as well as former clients of the organization.
