Again and again we see it in the news: evangelical ministers who preach against homosexuality and scandalizing themselves when their own homosexuality is revealed. Proponents of so-called 'reparative therapy' know it doesn't work. Yet they persist with ever-greater fervor and insist that gay Christians try to change their sexual orientation. Abomination: Homosexuality and the Ex-Gay Movement profiles the journeys of four gay Christians who did everything possible to become heterosexual by following the 'treatment' protocols of the so-called ex-gay ministries. At times heartbreaking, at other times hilarious, the approaches taken by these religious groups range from shock therapy and hypnosis to 'gender coaching.' Ultimately the 'therapy' fails, even for the ministers in charge as they repeatedly scandalize themselves by 'relapsing into gayness.' Some of Abomination's subjects spent decades in torment before they ultimately re-defined every aspect of their values, morals and beliefs to allow themselves to accept a gay and Christian identity. But self-acceptance eluded Mary Lou's daughter, Ana, who committed suicide. Her daughter's death causes a change of heart in this fundamentalist Christian mother who comes to realize that 'Jesus Christ himself would not have treated her the way I did.'In the end, we must ask, is Homosexuality an 'Abomination?' Or is the real 'Abomination' how Gay Conservative Christians are summarily rejected by their families, their communities, their churches and who are told that they have forfeited both the promise of heaven and the love of God.
Abomination is a poignant testimony to the healing power of love on the road to self-acceptance. It is also a film about human rights and the fragility of our liberty in an increasingly fundamentalist America. College Adult

While the AIDS epidemic is causing immeasurable personal tragedies, it also raises a host of difficult public issues that must be answered by society as a whole. What should be done to help people protect themselves from the virus? What measures should be taken to keep those already infected from spreading the virus to others? And what kind of a commitment should society make to care for those with the disease?This program gives voice to the many moral, legal, ethical and economic concerns that the epidemic raises. It presents a broad range of opinions on such issues as AIDS education in the schools, needle-exchange programs, mandatory testing, the rights of people with AIDS, condom advertising on television, and more. The magnitude of this epidemic is forcing people with deeply held beliefs on personal freedom to confront the conflict between their principles and their fear of AIDS. Adult College High School

Such raids were not unusual in the late 1960s, an era when homosexual sex was illegal in every state but Illinois. That night, however, the street erupted into violent protests and street demonstrations that lasted for the next six days. The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world. This is part 1 of an interview with Virginia Apuzzo, a lesbian who talks about growing up gay in the 1950s, growing up Catholic, Civil Rights movement, and bars. College Adult
