When you're a gay rights advocate with the Rev. Jerry Falwell in your camp, you know things have gotten strange.
But that's exactly the position in which popular gay actor Chad Allen ('Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman,' Here! TV's 'Third Man Out') has found himself.
Allen's latest film, 'End of the Spear,' tells the story of Nate Saint and five other American missionaries who were killed while attempting to reach the Ecuadorian Waodani tribe in 1956, one of the most violent known indigenous societies in history. The film, which opened in wide release two weeks ago, has been praised in some evangelical circles and attacked in others.
The reason? Because the leading man is gay in his real life, a factor that was never a serious consideration for the evangelical film company that made 'Spear.' In fact, Steve Saint, Nate Saint's son, worked with Every Tribe Entertainment to hand-pick Allen to play the role of his father and himself.
Allen spoke with TMZ and responded to allegations that his sexual orientation interferes with the film's message. "This movie is about love emanating from the Bible," the actor says. "And anything that distorts that singular message of love, is an example of how fear can distort that message."
