Seeking to uncover the origins of the rabid homophobia of the conservative church, a Gay seminary scholar and a straight activist make a shocking discovery: In 1946 an erroneous translation of the term “homosexual” in the Bible that has been weaponized against the LGBTQIA+ community ever since. Director Rocky Roggio uses her own complicated history as the Queer daughter of a minister as a point of departure to bring us this fascinating personal investigation.
