The documentary, if you're not a regular reader of this blog, centers around a gay Kansan and the conservative Christian pastor he grew up with. It includes testimonials from several gay Kansans, including filmmaker Steve Balderson, Grammy Award winner Melissa Etheridge and Matthew Vines, author of "God and the Gay Christian."
