(MK SCOTT) MK chats with the Director of the FALLS, coming to DVD on December 11th!
Garcia via Facebook |
One of my TOP Films from this year's Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival was a locally produced film centered around Religion and Forbidden Love. 'The Falls' set in Portland, follows 2 missionaries as they set out to recruit new members for the Mormon Church, as the 2 young men connect to the point that they doubt thier committment to the Religion and Passion takes over and that becomes more important. I had a chance to chat with the director, Jon Garcia, just before the film's December 11th DVD Release.

(MY VIEW) Mormons and Mitt: The Myth About Separation of Church and State!
by Derrick Shore
Growing up in a devout Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) family in a suburb of Salt Lake City, I knew my religion as well as my name. My mom played the organ in a Mormon temple, I was a Boy Scout, and there was rarely a Sunday when we would miss church. Praying at least three times daily and studying the Book of Mormon were as essential as brushing our teeth or making dinner.
For the first time in American history a Mormon is the presidential nominee for a major political party. And while the Romney campaign has swiftly dismissed questions about his religion as inappropriate and irrelevant, it may seem that much of the media have tiptoed around this topic and have discussed the LDS church in glossy, broad terms. But here's why Mr. Romney's religion is relevant: For Mormons, there really is no such thing as separation of church and state.

(MY view) Was Jesus a Homophobe?
by Michelangelo Signorile
A high school principal in Waynesville, Ohio would like you to know that it is "indecent" to say that Jesus is not a homophobe. That's right. Somehow, standing up for Jesus and defending him against charges that he fears and hates people is "inappropriate." And this comes to light during Holy Week, no less. How many indignities does Jesus have to suffer?
It all began when Maverick Couch, a high school student in Waynesville, Ohio, wore a T-shirt that says "Jesus Is Not a Homophobe" to observe the annual National Day of Silence last April, a day sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Eduction Network (GLSEN) in which thousands of schools participate to bring attention to bullying in schools.

(MY view) Belief Alone Is No Basis for Public Policy!
by Nathaniel Frank
The Blunt amendment, the bill that would have allowed employers and insurers to deny health care coverage for services that are contrary to their "religious beliefs or moral convictions," has created a predictable rift between the left and the right, with each side trading election year sound bites. But the bill, which narrowly failed in the Senate last week, raises a harder -- and more interesting -- question than whether special health care exemptions are a "war on women" or a "war on religion": What constitutes a "belief" or a "moral conviction" and when should the assertion of such a belief be considered the proper basis for the giving or taking away of rights?

Among those arrested was Matthew Preston Clark, 33, of Bartow, who told detectives he is senior pastor at the Blessed Assurance Temple. He was charged with soliciting a lewd act.

WITCH HUNT: Hutcherson Says Washington Governor 'Trying to Put a Bullet in the Head' of Marriage!
Comparing her to Abraham Lincoln's assassin, pastor Ken Hutcherson,
who was recently appointed to lead the charge against Washington state's
marriage equality bill, used graphic and violent terms to frame Governor Chris Gregoire's decision to pursue equality there.
"She might as well change her name to
John Wilkes Booth because what she’s doing now is trying to put a bullet
in the head of one of the greatest traditions that has ever existed and
has built our society, and that is marriage between one man and one
woman."
