THINK PINK RADIO #7 – THE BIBLE AND HOMOSEXUALITY

October 2, 2008

Photobucket

When talking about religion, practitioners might get zealous and non-believers roll their eyes. It’s a tough realm to engage in without chips flying, Ky Dickens is trying to capture the debate on homosexuality and the bible on camera and with a light tone. Using animation and narration, the film she has been making for about 2 years is in its final stages, and needs one final push to get it out of the power mac and onto screens across the country. An extensive amount of research, interviews, and stock footage have found her in fun and dangerous situations, and her documentary, Fish Out Of Water is attempting to give the queer community the tools to fight back whenever a bible-thumper comes at us with Sodom and Gomorrah this and men laying with men that. Erik went to Ky’s house and chatted with her about the film, the risks and the benefits of being a queer documentarian and strapping on the bible belt. Music featured in this podcast is by My Bloody Valentine.
