Nearly 10 months into Barack Obama’s presidency, the issue of gay marriage continues to mobilize people around the country. Alongside calls for equality, protestors attend rallies with signs touting God’s rejection of homosexuality. Scenes like this sparked first-time filmmaker Ky Dickens to hit the road to better understand what the Bible really says about being gay. The result is Fish Out of Water, the documentary centerpiece of this year’s Reeling Film Festival. She tells us about her journey making the documentary.
