“Stained Glass Rainbows” is a unique and original documentary that focuses on the modern-day debate between those who embrace the homosexual lifestyle and those who oppose it, based on their belief in God and the Bible. Multiple people are interviewed in this film and share their views on homosexuality and its relationship to Scripture. A female minister, Cindi Love, a practicing lesbian, shares her viewpoint that, despite several Scriptures in the Bible that condemn it, Jesus loves her and accepts her as she is. Interestingly, her two grown children are now practicing the gay lifestyle. The film poignantly features several former homosexuals, both men and women, who share that God’s Word and Christ brought them out of the former lifestyle. They all agree that living the gay lifestyle is a choice. One man says that being a drunk or cheating on a spouse is a choice, and so is the homosexual lifestyle. What’s most disturbing is that some say, if God is against their homosexual lifestyle, then that is okay, because they will live that way anyway.

Robert Gagnon, Associate Professor of the New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, shares valuable insights into the truth of Scripture and how God can give grace for those who truly want to change. He mentions, as do others, the image of Christ loving his bride, the Church, and how men and women compliment one another and fill gaps the other partner is missing. Jonathan Ervin, a former gay man, shares his testimony of being saved from the homosexual lifestyle and empowered by the Holy Spirit. He is given a death sentence when told he has the HIV virus, but he lives well past the time predicted that he had left on Earth.
