People with nontraditional sexual orientations (gay, bisexual, transgender) are often marginalized by society for being their true selves.

Ignorance, apathy and fear of the unknown are generally to blame for this negative outlook. It can be easy to judge people looking from the outside, but what happens when a family is confronted with a gay daughter or son? Suddenly the issue becomes personal, and of utmost importance.

Families of Christian backgrounds use the Bible as a guide for morality. Literal interpretations of these passages referencing homosexuality can leave families torn between the love for their children, and condemnation of their orientation.

This week is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Week at Boise State University, and to kick off the festivities, the Women's Center is presenting the documentary, "For the Bible Tells Me So."
