BEN’S “GAY” BREAKDOWN | “THE FALLS: COVENANT OF GRACE”

He cis, that as a high-rankg church member, he will try to change the church’s stance on baptizg the children of gay upl. "The Falls" had the potential to be exploative and flammatory, nsirg s dual subjects: Mormons and homosexualy.

The Mormon disfort wh Garcia's film will stem not so much om the subject of homosexualy, which most Mormons are now aware exists among even their voutt members, but the fact that a ls-than-sacred portra of the Church's missnari has been pated for all the world to Mormons' problem wh this film and Garcia's triumph are one and the same: the btal honty of the story. Later he se a Gay Pri celebratn where there is very briefly a sign rememberg those whose liv were tragilly lost at the Pulse shootg Orlando.

This film do have a llback to The Falls the form of Ryan Woodrow (Curtis Edwards Jackson), the returned missnary who was sent home for beg gay. Bee of the power and tegry of all three of the films, pecially wh The Falls: Covenant of Grace, I n fd myself standg alongsi RJ and Chris and say, spe what any anizatn might argue, that I am a Proud Gay Mormon.

BEN’S “GAY” BREAKDOWN | “THE FALLS: TTAMENT OF LOVE”

This is fely one of the better gay themed movi I have seen recently. From a gay Mormon's POV.

THE FALLS A STORY OF TWO GAY MORMONS #THEFALLS

The teachgs of the evilns of homosexualy, a part of someone that is neher chosen nor even wanted most s, led me to thk that there was somethg wrong wh the church sce I had to pretend to be someone I'm not all for the sake of not wantg to be looked at wh disgt or shame.

Sce I found out I was gay, and as everyone else around me started maturg, grew creasgly harr to socialize to even the clost iends I had, sce I was lyg to them about such a huge, unfettable part of me. The siari between this relign's place our society and the gay rights movement is the film's clevert and most meangful ntributn.
