Description

GNN's new "Gay Agenda" presents the undercover odyssey of two Gay filmmakers through America's bible belt.

Show Information

Host Darlene Soltys sets the stage for this episode outside the White House. Soltys introduces "The Bradfords Tour America," the humorous documentary by filmmakers Jan Nunn and U.B. Morgan that takes us on a road trip through America's bible belt.

The two gay filmmakers go undercover as a conservative, Christian married couple to get the real scoop on conservative religious organizations and what their followers really say about gays and lesbians when they think they are not around. The "Bradfords" send home candid snapshots of the often-heartless heartland and expose the true feelings of Christian fundamentalists toward gays and lesbians.

"The Bradfords Tour America," shown at DC's Reel Affirmation's film festival and other venues across the U.S., has been condensed into a half hour Gay Agenda that highlights the best segments of the documentary. The Bradfords meet Fred Phelps, work the phones of the 700 Club, revel with the snake handlers and tour Bob Jones University among other sites. Then taking a break from it all at U.B. hits a leather store and Jann heads to Hooters.

GNN viewers will also see one of the newest PSA's released by the Human Right's Campaign featuring Isabell Sanford and Eliot Gould as well as a PSA from PFLAG featuring Jesse Helms and Pat Robertson that was deemed too controversial to air by most TV stations!
