my door is open,
but not to be blamed.
ok?
I think that we got
a pretty good one,
nice and full.
A couple of balls like your dear old dad.
Or grandma...
Yeah...
Mum, can we hang this one on the tree?
I remember when he made this.
Second grade.
Mrs Towns' class, I think.
He was so proud of himself.
Where do you want to put it?
Up high.
So he can look out.
Hey, they work.
I'm gonna go check on my cookies.
I found the passage you talked about.
About stoning to death
Deuteronomy, 22.
But what about Sodom and Gommorah?
God punishes the sin of homosexuality. How do you explain that?
It's nice to see you too, Mary.
What's this for?
It's a roomish sale.
All gay people have roomish too.
So...
What about Sodom and Gommorah?
Many scholars think this sin was greed and not homosexuality.
And it wasn't labeled homosexuality until years after it was written.
Do you have answers for all these things just to justify being that way?
You have answers to justify that it's wrong.
I guess we're in an impass here.
So you think it's ok to interpret the bible any way you want?
No, of course not. But the bible was written and interpreted my mortal men.
And many of those interpretations were reflections of the time and what they lived.
So you feel completely free to question it?
Because...
I think it's blasphemous.
I don't think God minds questions.
He might not be thrilled with all our answers.
I think blind faith is just as dangerous as none at all.
I've never questioned my faith. I...
Sometimes to question it...
helps you find a deeper faith.
he couldn't never allow himself to feel worthy of God's love.
And we didn't help.
Mary...
Have you ever heard about P-FLAG?
It's a national organisation.
It's Parents and friend of lesbians and gays.
No, that's not for me.
They can help.
You'd be able to see you're not so alone in this.
Bye reverend.
No.
There's a woman in Concord, Betty Lambert.
You'll love her.
She has a gay son in his 30s.
I just had a few questions.
I don't need anything else.
Just in case.
It's true. There's a passage that says if children are disobedient they should be put to death.
And I mean noone interprets that litteraly.
What I'm saying is...
if the church no longer interprets that litteraly,
maybe homosexuality is also on that list.
Well, maybe.
Well, don't you think that's important?
Mary, I wasn't that keen with the first interpretation of the bible.
Well, it could mean that Bobby's in heaven.
Yeah, well, he's not here.
Right?
Why isn't that enough for you?
Is it enough for you?!
Does it make it any better?
