Someone's Not Telling The Truth

EveryTribeEntertainment claims that they had no idea that Chad Allen was gay before offering him the job. Something doesn't match up here! Below you will find a quote from Chad Allen in an interview with the Windy City Times from January 18, 2006.

WCT: It’s just that if you mention that the movie is about Christian missionaries, some people’s eyes immediately glaze over.

CA: [ Laughs. ] It’s true. Part of what’s happened is the result of vitriolic anger and fear that’s been put forth by believers and by us as well. People assume that they’re going to get hurt—and that’s something I experienced first-hand as well.

When they offered me this film, I loved the story—but I thought that they must not know who I am. I met with the producers, and they pulled out The Advocate. They said that the same things I spoke about in the magazine are the same things that Steve Saint fought his whole life for. From that point forward, it was about watching our bigoted notions melt away. When the movie was over, Steve and I were in tears when we said goodbye to each other. The movie has deepened my own spiritual understanding. Now, it’s about loving and respecting each other.
