In the summer of 2005, Zach, a 16-year-old boy from Memphis, Tennessee wrote on his MySpace blog that he had told his parents he was gay. Within days of his coming out, his mother and father would send him to Love In Action (LIA), a fundamentalist Christian program that refers to homosexuality as an addictive behavior. The depressed and fearful teenager shared his feelings on his blog. Zach’s parents had enlisted the support of LIA’s newly formed program for teens, called Refuge, with the hope that his gay “addiction” could be cured. His blog entries quickly spread from his friends, to the local community, to the nation through the internet. In a remarkably short time, daily protests were organized outside the campus of LIA. ??“This Is What Love In Action Looks Like” documents the widely controversial and inspirational story of what The New York Times referred to as “A modern day message in a bottle.”
