Defiant towards massive condemnation and denunciation in the society, a heterosexual female pastor founded Taiwan’s first LGBT-affirming church in May 1996. For LGBT Christians, who had been rejected by the Christian community for a long time, this church finally provided them with a safe haven. They struggle in the conflicts of the religion andconfront the unjust social institution at the same time.

這是部華人世界中少見同時探討性別與信仰議題的紀錄影片，在這群同志基督徒及認同該族群的牧師身上，堅信守護自身信仰的過程雖艱難辛酸，卻也見證了人權價值與愛的真諦。
