More Light at the Movies: Out in the Silence
Tonight's 10:00 p.m. movie in MLP's Hospitality Suite at the Hilton Minneapolis (1001 Marquette Ave, Room 1936) is Out in the Silence. If you are not with us at the General Assembly, we wanted to make you aware of this resource for your congregation. This and other print and video resources will be available in MLP's Lending Library in Fall, 2010.
Out in the Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of Joe Wilson's wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown. Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson's journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it. 65 minutes.

More Light at the Movies: Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World
Tonight's 6:30 p.m. movie in MLP's Hospitality Suite at the Hilton Minneapolis (1001 Marquette Ave, Room 1936) is Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World. If you are not with us at the General Assembly, we wanted to make you aware of this resource for your congregation. This and other print and video resources will be available in MLP's Lending Library in Fall, 2010.
Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World is the first documentary to deeply explore the lives of gay and lesbian people in non-western cultures. Traveling to five different continents, we hear the heartbreaking and triumphant stories of gays and lesbians from Egypt, Honduras, Kenya, Thailand and elsewhere, where most occurrences of oppression receive no media coverage at all. By sharing the personal stories coming out of developing nations, Dangerous Living sheds light on an emerging global movement striving to end discrimination and violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
