Ithaca College

The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen film series will offer a screening of All God's Children. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Monday, February 2, at 7:00 p.m. in Textor 102.

Through the voices of politicians, religious leaders, academics, families, and activists, this film analyzes sexual orientation within the context of the traditional African-American church.

Interwoven with music, the intricately layered stories unfold on the screen creating a tapestry with the theme of spiritual understanding. Respected religious and political leaders -- including Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend James Forbes, Reverend Carol L. Murray, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Senator Carol Moseley-Braun, Mayor Ken Reeves, and Cornel West -- call for spiritual reconciliation and a commitment to equal rights and social justice for all people.

Sponsored by the Ithaca College Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Education, Outreach, and Services, the film series this year will explore sexual orientation and identity through the lens of faith. For a complete schedule, visit the "Events" section of the LGBT Center website (www.ithaca.edu/lgbt) or contact the LGBT Center for a film series postcard.
