NEW YORK -- BET Networks today announced the launch of its emotional original documentary "HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME: BLACK AND GAY IN THE CHURCH" exclusively on the BET NOW App Monday, November 2. With marriage equality, LGBT Pride and the "Transgender Tipping Point," there has been progress for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, but some religious institutions sadly fall far behind when it comes to accepting and embracing LGBT people. For the first time on film, BET.com and journalist Clay Cane explore homophobia in the black church and put the narrative in the hands of black LGBT people who are torn between their faith and the way they are treated by their church - the stories are varied, passionate and inspiring.

"HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME: BLACK AND GAY IN THE CHURCH"

"BET Networks has always prided itself on being at the fore front of the issues that matter most to the African American community." said Kay Madati Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer, BET Networks "With the addition of this gripping documentary on BET.com we look forward to spark dialogue on LGBT issues in the black community and continue to be the premiere platform for our audience to see their stories told authentically."

In the one-hour documentary Cane travels to Atlanta, Georgia, where church and LGBT culture cross paths like nowhere else, to dive into one of the most taboo topics in the African American community from young people such as Hannah a 24-year-old living in a homeless shelter after being thrown out of her house for being a lesbian to Bishop Allen who leads the most famous LGBT church in the country, Vision Church of Atlanta, with his husband First Gentleman Rashad. "HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME: BLACK AND GAY IN THE CHURCH" tackles this controversial but important issue through the journeys of those who are living it every day and whose stories deserve to be heard.
