Screening of the Anatomy of Desire
A Place of Welcome & Respect for People of All Sexual Orientations
The Unitarian Fellowship of Peterborough Welcoming Congregation Task Force invites you to a documentary film screening in the presence of the director.
Sunday, March 25 at 2 PM
777 Weller Street (Beth Israel Synagogue and home of the Unitarian Fellowship).
Anatomy of Desire
What makes a person gay? What makes somebody straight? What about bisexuals? Does it matter when civil rights are concerned? What are the ethical and political implications of biological and genetic research into the origins of sexual orientation? What about the history of medical and psychiatric intervention—the idea that same-sex desire was a mental illness in need of “cure”?
Reverend Peter Boullata, the current interim minister for the Unitarian Fellowship of Peterborough, directed this documentary film. It was produced by the National Film Board of Canada, which explores these questions. With incisive interviews with key figures in the research and debate, Anatomy of Desire presents the debates surrounding biology, sexuality, identity and social justice.
