Oh God I'm GayLogo unveils two explorations into sexuality and faith
When I had the pleasure of interviewing documentary filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi upon the release of her fantastic (and fantastically disturbing) film Friends of God, she noted that when she decided to tackle the tricky subject of religion, pitches for "gays in the military" documentaries at HBO were a dime a dozen. Interestingly enough, it seems that in the wake of her own film -- which focused in part on gays of faith -- there is considerable interest in the topic of how gays and lesbians fit within the greater organized religions, particularly Christianity. Next week Logo premieres an interesting angle on the topic with Camp Out, a documentary that follows a group of gay Christian teens attending a Christian LGBT summer camp and asks the simple question, "Can you be gay and Christian at the same time?" Gays and religion and teens? Oh my. In conjunction with the doc's premiere, Logo is also launching an audio podcast series called Oh God, I'm Gay!, which "proflies individuals from all different faiths, backgrounds, and points of view, and gains insight into their unique spiritual journeys while exploring relevant social issues that affect the LGBT community." The bi-weekly series will be available at Logo's site and on iTunes beginning July 28th (the same day that Camp Out first airs). Also coming our way is the feature documentary For the Bible Tells Me So, which recently played to a celeb-filled crowd at Outfest and will open theatrically in October.
