Son Of God

Son of God follows Gabriel, a gay man raised in a deeply homophobic environment who struggles to accept his sexuality and overcome internalized self-hatred. Set against broader human rights debates, the story critiques extremist thinking and polarization. It encourages self-love, open-mindedness, individual truth, and becoming compassionate leaders who respect others’ freedom and authenticity.
