What’s gay and sits in a pew?

Sometimes it’s you

Cathedral of Hope OKC is proud to offer a free showing of Southern Baptist Sissies on Nov 8. Southern Baptist Sissies is a film of the theatrical experience of writer/director Del Shores’ GLAAD Award-winning play about four gay boys growing up in the church.

The show explores the conflict between the caustic rhetoric of dogmatic religion and the fragile development of adolescent homosexuality. It challenges hypocrisy, exposes damage and offers hope. The intimate experience of theatre on the film screen reveals the complicated emotions from all sides – the confused child, the struggling adolescent and the angry and damaged adult.

Mayflower Congregational UCC, located at 3901 NW 63rd St. in Oklahoma City, OK, will host this showing. Mayflower is an “unapologetically Christian, unapologetically liberal” church.

Some content may not be suitable for children. Parental discretion is advised.

Southern Baptist Sissies will play one night only on Friday, Nov 8th, at 7:30pm. For more information, please visit www.cohokc.com or contact Cathedral of Hope at (405) 232-HOPE.
