The Interfaith Gay Straight Alliance presents a morning forum with an opportunity for fellowship and the exploration of transgender and gender identity through the screening of a film and an open facilitated discussion. Call Me Malcolm is a documentary feature about a transgender seminary student; and his struggle with faith, love and gender identity. Adam Thompson from AIDS Services Group will facilitate a discussion of the issues of gender and faith with interested and concerned members of both the faith and transgender community. Please plan to join us that morning for fellowship and conversation. Refreshments and resource materials will be provided. Pre-registration is optional but encouraged.
For more information or to pre-register, email info@interfaithgsa.org.
Call Me Malcolm begins just before Malcolm’s final year of seminary begins. He steps away from his safe environment and sets out on a road trip across the country visiting with many people, each of whom have a different perspective on the issues of identity, faith, and love. By the time Malcolm arrives in NewYork, his journey has covered more than just miles. And his future holds more possibilities than he ever could have dreamed. This is not a niche specific film nor a 'how to transition' film but rather a look at that universal self-seeking that we all do.
