“...in a series called “Outspoken” from producer Daneen Aker and director Stephen Eyer that focuses on LGBTQ Seventh-day Adventists. The series is meant to shine a light on people of faith in the margins and to spark dialogue about theological opinions on LGBTQ people.”
“In one of the moments in this film with which many LGBTQ people can identify, the Widmers revealed that they, too, were in a closet, locked in by the conflict between their love for their daughter and their religion. And they haven’t totally left that closet, either.”
“In a new video as part of the series Outspoken, by producer/directors Daneen Akers and Stephen Eyer on LGBT Seventh-day Adventists, Pastor Kris and Debbie open up about how they came to accept Teagan’s identity, and what they hope their church will understand about transgender people.”
