Plot Outline
Conversations about god and struggling to be gay - Tom Murray's documentary examines the poignant experiences of gay men and women who have tried to "cure" their homosexuality through religion.
"Fish Can't Fly" explores the lives of gay men and women of faith who have struggled to harmonize their sexuality and spirituality. The personal stories shared are about people who have participated in the "ex-gay" ministries in an attempt to "cure" their homosexuality. While the concept of changing one's sexual orientation may be viewed with a high level of skepticism, ridicule and even humor by the larger GLBT community, these are the humanized stories of those who have tried. None of the participants were "cured" as they originally intended but they all found peace from within.The film contains candid, fascinating, humorous and heartfelt discussions about gay men and women and how religion played (and still plays) an integral part of their lives.
