Gay Returned Missionaries Produce “Natural Family Values” February 2007 Two gay returned missionaries, Frank Feldman and Troy Williams, have just premiered “Natural Family Values,” a film exploring a controversial anti-gay resolution adopted by a small town in Utah. In 2005, the mayor of Kanab, Utah grabbed national headlines by declaring a resolution to define “The Natural Family” as “the marriage of a woman to a man, and a man to a woman, as ordained of God” with “young women growing into wives homemakers and mothers” and “young men growing into husbands, home-builders, and fathers.” An ideological schism ensued dividing the small southern Utah town between conservative and liberal factions. Natural Family Values explores how civic leaders rhetorically blur Church and State to legitimate some citizens, while ostracizing others — and how a group of “unnatural” families rise up in defiance. Feldman directed the film and Williams produced it. Williams produces the talk shows “RadioActive” and “NQT” for KRCL radio. Screenings: February 7: NYU Cantor Center NYU - 102 in New York City, at 7:00 pm February 15: Brewvies, in Salt Lake City, at 7:00 pm (21 and Older with ID Only Please) |
