Peter Schott, President of Delaware Stonewall PAC, says, “It is so important to have such documentaries that honestly portray struggles that the LGBT community faces every day. This documentary does an excellent job in telling the stories of the families as they face a society which stigmatizes people in the LGBT community.”
 
“The power of the pulpit is to move hearts and a congregation, but if the messages LGBTQ+ people in the pews hear demonizes and dehumanizes them, it causes only harm,” said PFLAG National Executive Director Brian K. Bond. “For They Know Not What They Do” sheds light on this – and also that there is love found in faith teachings that can be built upon. At a time when so many politicians and faith leaders manipulate teachings to sow division, this film reminds us that being a person of faith and being a person who is, or loves, an LGBTQ+ person are not mutually exclusive. The families in this film demonstrate this powerfully.”
