Holy
A pastor (played by Silicon Valley actress, Anna Khaja) is meeting with LGBTQ members of her congregation to inform them that the Bible says that their love is wrong. But the real-life couples, including LoPresti and her wife Alicia Champion, “Arrow” star John Barrowman and husband Scott Gill, young transgender boy Ryland Whittington and his family, interpret the biblical texts that Khaja cites much differently.
LoPresti's powerful song and video explores the differences between LGBTQ marriage equality and the Religious Right while addressing the similarities and brings two sides of the same religious communities closer together through one overarching message, that the single most important aspect of all practices is love.
