CGiii Comment
So...we're going to ruffle a few feathers here...because, all this religious stuff ruffles ours.
Look...it's no big mystery...religion don't like them poofs...get over it!!!
We don't understand why them poofs like religion...get over it!
Gene Robinson seems like a decent chap...who happened to marry, father children, join the clergy and come out as a big Mary...
What's all the fuss about? He's a Mary...get over it!
As a man of the cloth...he seems to have told a whole host of fibs from day 1 - to himself, his wife and family and everyone else....wholesome holiness, he is not.
Yet, in this film, he remains unchallenged...portrayed as almost saintly.
Why would you want to join (or remain in) an institution that despises you...?
We just don't understand these confused Marys...this film does nothing to unravel this confusion.
Quite contrary these Marys....

LOVE FREE OR DIE is about a man whose two defining passions are in direct conflict: his love for God and for his partner Mark. Gene Robinson is the first openly gay person to become a bishop in the historic traditions of Christendom. His consecration in 2003, to which he wore a bullet-proof vest, caused an international stir, and he has lived with death threats every day since. The film follows Robinson's personal story as American churches debate whether or not lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are equal to heterosexuals in the eyes of God while our nation debates whether LGBT people are equal to heterosexuals in the eyes of the law.
In LOVE FREE OR DIE, Bishop Gene steps onto the world stage as he travels from small-town churches to Washington's Lincoln Memorial to London's Lambeth Palace calling for all to stand for equality - inspiring bishops, priests and ordinary folk to come out from the shadows and change history.
