Now that Jerry Falwell has met his maker, apparently hell has also frozen over, pigs are flying, and the moon is made of green cheese. That's right, because in its promotional materials for this year's Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the fine folks at Outfest assure us that Jesus is totally down with the gays.

No, really. And here's why.

In the beginning is Save Me, which opens the festival on July 12. Starring Chad Allen (The Donald Strachey Mystery Series), Judith Light (Ugly Betty) and Robert Gant (Queer as Folk), it's the story of two men, played by Allen and Gant -- both out gay actors -- living in an ex-gay ministry run by Light's character.

Then on July 17, they'll screen the documentary For the Bible Tells Me So:

Filmmaker Daniel Karslake explores the way religious conservatives have misled the public into believing the Bible forbids homosexuality through the unfolding of five moving stories of Christian families with gay or lesbian members, including the Gephardts, and the reflections of major Biblical scholars.

Next on the ticket is The Believers:

Hallelujah - the world's first transgender gospel choir has taken the stage! THE BELIEVERS revolutionizes popular conceptions about faith, gender identity and sexuality. Director Todd Holland is granted intimate access as choir members open up about the pain - and joy - that has brought them together. Buoyed by the transcendent force of music, we witness people who are brave enough to be their true selves and we experience the healing power of acceptance in this moving film that quite literally sings.

Then there's Rock Haven, which hits Harlequin-esque heights in the descriptive prose department:

Deeply religious Brady credits his new home on the Sonoma coast with bringing him closer to God. Imagine his surprise when his reinvigorated “walk with Christ” leads right to his hunky neighbor Clifford. The young men feel an immediate magnetism, sending Brady spinning into a liturgical tailspin. Boldly allowing the natural silence of Sonoma to speak volumes for these “closeted romantics,” ROCK HAVEN bridges the chasm between piety and passion.

Then they wrap up the Big Gay Religious Theme Fest with We're All Angels, which the festival program describes thusly:

Jason and deMarco are gay, Christian, and in love. They're also a pop music duo whose sexuality often pits them against evangelicals, while their faith meets resistance within the gay community. They crisscross the country performing in dance clubs, churches and at gay pride events as they prepare to release a new, mainstream album. At once a love story, a tale of religious struggle and a musical journey, this intimate, behind-the-scenes film shines the spotlight on two charismatic rising stars.
