The interesting thing to me about such a documentary is the desperation of people to belong to institutions that don’t want them. Now I certainly understand that people fight for an education or an opportunity to work or the right to get married. But why fight to be accepted into a private institution that is rather a figure of fun to the great majority of Americans who don’t agree with Seventh Day Adventist beliefs? In their hearts I think the dissenters simply believe they are right and the traditionalists are wrong, so they have a duty to stand firm on principle. It will be very interesting to watch the evolution of the belief that homosexual behavior is sinful in this church and in the Catholic church. Maybe someday homosexual behavior will lose its sinful classification just as loaning money for interest did.
