Make the Yuletide Gay, the next film in the GayCharlotte Film Series, will be screened this Wednesday, Aug. 24, in the Wells Fargo Auditorium at Knight Theater. Screened as part of Pride Charlotte Week (which runs through Aug. 28; go here for details), this comedy centers on gay college student Olaf “Gunn” Gunnunderson, who must conceal his homosexuality when he visits his conservative parents over the holidays. But when his boyfriend unexpectedly shows up, Gunn must figure out a way to keep his secret hidden from the folks.
The screening commences at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $5 ($3 for students & seniors).
Currently in its third year, The GayCharlotte Film Festival expanded this past March from a once-a-year festival to a bi-monthly series that will include a weekend festival.
For more information on this particular screening or the series itself, call 704-962-1426 or go here.

Well, if you folks think being gay is just standing up for your rights and having fun, think again. According to the Centers for Disease Control, homosexual activity leads to HIV in most cases because of the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals. Check out my facts and I’ll check out yours. It is not an innocent, safe activity.
what a gag reflex this is to the hetrosexual Christian world. I “Pray” to Almighty “GOD” that this’ll flop like and “Fail” as it shouldn’t’ve been made in the first place. “GOD” destroyed sodom & gomorrah not once but several times & ya’ll still can’t & will not get it withy your pint sized, pea brained minds & you never will unless you’re delivered from your sin & wickedness by the one & only “JESUS CHRIST” & only by his Blood will & can you be saved. I “Pray” & hope that all you leslies & homosexuals will & can be delivered out of the bondages o fsatan’s evil clutches. He the father of all lies & he knows in the end he’s going to be bound forever & ever & he’s also going to be cast in that lake of fire to burn for an eternity & a day so he cares for & loves no one but himself & he’s determined to take as many as he can into the lake of fire with him!!! I dare you to go to this site & check it out for yourselves & that site is, abouthell.com , & or Chicktracts.com , for what the 1611 King James Version has to say & there are people standing by to counsel you, to Pray with & for you, & there are ex lesbians & homosexuals that’ve been set free by the “Holy Blood” that “JESUS” shed for each one & all & He can free you too espically if you aren’t too sure that this the right way you shoul;dn’t go. “GOD” Bless each one & all but the choice is yours while the blood still runs warm through your veins while you’re all still alive!!! Dearestly, Jaqckie Miller…
And I’m against homophobia, which means to me, violence against homosexuals or destruction of their property. Read also my 1-1 post on this story. But I’m against homosexuals like in Calif. who entered a church where they were having speakers on both sides debating about homosexuality, and started spitting at people and I think, before or after, vandalizing the church’s property. In Singapore or Saudi Arabia, they would have had their teeth pulled out without anesthesia or had their tongues cut off. Tell me how many people would still spit on others if that was the punishment? And by the way, drug crime and other crimes are way, way, way, way down compared to similar crimes in the U. S. because of the harsh penalties.
Unbelievable straight people, if you have nothing good to say about us (as a community) don’t say anything at all!
Ya know, I really have to wonder how many of you who post on here really have Jesus Christ in your heart when you write with such an angry fervor. By the way, King James was homosexual, he liked to keep young boys in court. You can read the book “God’s Secretaries” about that fact in case you don’t believe me. I personally am not fond of homosexuality, but then again, I’m not fond of bigotry either. You fundamentalist seem to think you have a once saved always saved credit card to sin. Stop banging away on this blog and verbally thrashing homosexuals and get back to living the life you pledged when you took on the name of Christ. Lead by example, that will get a lot more attention than the anger you express toward homosexuals. Lastly, for those of you who are homosexual, no one would deliberately choose to be you, so I do understand.
@ROCKYWITHTHE16SHOTGLOCK Please provide that link to the page on the CDC’s website to support your statement. No? That’s right you idiot because it doesn’t exist.
If God thought that homosexuality was so wrong, it would have been one of the 10 Commandments. As for all the hatefulness and anti-gay sentiments being spewed, it’s a case of ‘ protesting too much ‘ It just proves how many of you are latent/closeted/in denial gays.
Like all the ‘str8’ preachers that get caught with their boyfriends/hustlers. Now THAT is something God felt strongly about, it’s covered under the 9th Commandment.
Please, Freddy boy let’s be a little more civil an not so contumelious in your attitude and thoughts!
@ Nelson Mackey. I’m just stating the obvious Nelson.
I am so tired of hypocrites!!! To be a Christian is to be Christ Like. People sit back and call themselves Christians when all they do is talk about and judge others. That is not Christ like. That is not being a Christian. A pieve of advice to you Jackie Miller. God wouldn’t want you condemning others. He would want you to love others no matter what their sexual orientation is. Think about it! It’s a type of discrimination! IT’s wrong! Besides Love is Love and Everybody deserves somebody to love and have someone love them back.
Jackie Miller, get help, you sound mentally ill.
