Love Free or Die is the title of a documentary film about Gene Robinson, the first – but not the last – overtly homosexual bishop in The Episcopal Church.

The title of the film seems to imply that Bishop Robinson would prefer death to the fettering of his sexual inclinations. As things turned out, not only is he still with us but he became a bishop, a darling of the Anglican liberal establishment and has had a movie made about him. To add to the collection of “firsts”, Robinson was the first bishop to wear a bullet-proof vest at his ordination, demonstrating a determination to avoid the second option mentioned in the title of the documentary.

Naturally, the bishop is a hero to the Diocese of Westminster, so it is allowing Integrity Vancouver to screen the documentary in one of its churches: St. David’s Anglican Church. In spite of having a title that is an amalgam of Born Free and Die Hard, the film isn’t particularly popular: this is its first appearance in Canada and, in order to entice people to see it, St. David’s showing is free.

Here is the trailer in which, oddly enough, those who oppose same-sex marriage are clearly homophobic bigots and those who are for it are pioneering justice-seekers forging a bright new world full of love, compassion and – gay bishops.
