BEN’S “GAY” BREAKDOWN | “THE FALLS: TTAMENT OF LOVE”
I am not Mormon, so I n only image the gree to which gay Mormons suffer tryg to be fahful to themselv and their relign spe their relign not beg fahful to them.
This film als wh that a very straightforward way, and we n feel for not jt what the boys go through but how tortured their fai bee as well when tryg to al wh a gay child, siblg or mate. While RJ miss the church many ways, he n’t see how there is any place for men like him and Chris , pecially when is announced that children of gay Mormon upl will not be baptized the Breakg Glass PicturAnd then ath strik aga.
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 FALLS A STORY OF TWO GAY MORMONS #THEFALLS
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.
