There's a bride, a groom and the usual happy crowd of well-wishers. But this
is no ordinary wedding. Ana and Brian are ex-gays - adherents to a
controversial evangelical movement that purports to convert gay people into
heterosexuals.
Cure for Love goes inside the unusual
Christian subculture and follows the lives of several young people whose
homosexuality is at odds with their religious beliefs to fashion a nuanced
critique of 21st century fundamentalism through their moving testimony.
Jonathan, a soft-spoken young Texan, was driven into an ex-gay
'ministry' by crippling self-loathing - but now embraces a Christianity that
leaves room for a loving gay relationship. Darren, another refugee, looks back
at the ex-gay experience with mixed feelings and wry humour - 'Oh I've been
saved several times!' Ana and Brian remain within the flock, carving out a
progressive Canadian position within the movement.
Keenly tuned to shifts within contemporary Christianity and the broader
culture, Cure for Love makes a big-hearted
contribution to the ongoing dialogue on difference and tolerance.
