Another venue rejects screening Christian ex-gay film
By Eno Adeogu, Premier:
A Northern Ireland university has rejected calls for a new film about people who say they left behind homosexual lifestyles to be screened at its premises.
Core Issues Trust (CIT) requested for Voices of the Silenced to be shown in a private invitation-only event at The Queen’s University Belfast.
However, the Christian charity in Northern Ireland said its request was declined “without reason”.
Joan Parsons, Head of Queen’s Film Theatre (QFT) at the university told the charity: “The mission of the Queen’s Film Theatre (QFT) is to widen access to film through the delivery of a varied programme that actively encourages appreciation, enjoyment, debate and understanding.
“In addition, the QFT is committed, through its approved programme, to continue to promote and respect equality, diversity and inclusion.”
It is not clear how the film fails to meet the theatre’s mission.
