What Allen says outside of the film is irrelevant.Sadly, this is not true. We don't live in a vaccuum. If our kids want to see this film, and then learn more about the actors, where do we stop them? Where does the information flow end? If they believe the story on the screen, they will likely believe the story being told on any screen, TV, etc.

Oh, my! Your kids are going to find out there are homosexuals? They're going to find out that some of them act in movies? How horrible.
You'd keep them from seeing a film with a powerful Christian message because they might find out that the actor who plays Nate is a homosexual? How bizarre!
You'd do better to teach them that actors portray roles and that the actors' lives have nothing to do with the roles they portray on the screen. The movie stands for itself.
Your kids are not so stupid as to fail to understand what you teach them. They will gain from the film an appreciation for the dedication needed to spread Christianity. If they discover the actor is a homosexual, they will learn that actors portray all sorts of roles by pretending to be someone they are not.
I don't get it. Does homosexuality scare you so much that you are going to attempt to prevent your kids from even learning that it exists? They won't thank you for that when they're adults.
