Son Of God

Son of God is about one gay man’s struggle to ultimately accept the truth of his own sexuality. The protagonist, Gabriel, was raised in a severely homophobic environment and has learned self-hatred. Although the drama is set within the struggle for gay rights, it speaks to the larger context of human rights. This larger discussion of human rights has seen a vast increase in polarization over the last decade or so, and Son of God, rather than falling into the trap of picking a side, highlights the problem of extremist thinking and, thus, behavior itself. We should always strive to keep an open mind, if civility is to have a chance.



Son of God will reinforce self-esteem, and thus further reinforce what genuine leaders of human rights already know and model. Instead of merely following our leaders, we ought to become leaders ourselves. To march to the beat of our own drum and, by extension, respect everyone else’s right to do the same, is the context in which Son of God is set. Son of God leads the reader to follow one’s inner voice, especially when the crowd of ignorance is doing the opposite. If you love yourself or want to love yourself, Son of God will support your journey, the loftiest of goals of the human experience.
