CGiii Comment

Bible-based homophobia is alive and well on Christian college campuses where students fear not just being expelled, but going to hell if they are lesbian or gay. QUEERS IN THE KINGDOM follows an LGBTQ alumni & allies group from Wheaton College (Billy Graham's alma mater) as they decide to make themselves visible on the very campus that would condemn them.

While examining the story of Wheaton College in particular, and the LGBT survivors of that college, this penetrating documentary examines the deep historical roots of evangelical Christianity in the United States - you may not know that the very first Christian college in the US was Harvard!
