stirring document of true Christian compassion
4 December 2023
When AIDS first hit, LGBTQ+ patients were roundly treated like lepers by much of American society, but Hollywood United Methodist Church decided to take a bold stand. This inspiring short doc, by America's favorite goth sweetheart, Pauley Perrette, presents HUMC clergy and congregants who were there thirty years ago. Most supported mounting two giant AIDS ribbons on the church bell tower to serve as a beacon of hope, even as some feared it was a bridge too far. If you suspect the folks you pray with every Sunday would also be opposed to such a gesture, I highly advise you to go find a more compassionate house of worship. This doc is what true Christianity looks like.
