Devout Christian parents struggle to overcome deeply ingrained prejudices, reinforced by their religion, to embrace their children. Some of them formed a group on Facebook, Mama Bears, now with over 32,000 members, to offer support. Documentarian Daresha Kyi (
Chavela, Audience Award winner at Frameline41) focuses on three moms, chronicling their journeys to not only love and accept but to actively advocate for their LGBTQ+ children in the face of headwinds like the cynical anti-trans political backlash currently gripping many parts of the United States.
Due to time constraints (only so many films I can stream in a day!), I only watched the first half hour, but it was clear that the film and the parents were determined to reconcile their Christian faith and their love and acceptance of their children. Highly recommended for all audiences, definitely a must see for any parents struggling to embrace their faith and their LGBTQ+ children.
