Be honest, please. 1) It's never wrong to love. Okay. So love. 2) If you are gay don't go to a straightening meeting for "couples therapy." WHAT? How stupid ARE these people? Go to a gay bar and talk to the bartender instead. The outcome will be better. I really really really didn't get that part. 3) If nobody is forcing you to go to this meeting, don't kill the people who are leading it. They're entitled to their opinion. Everybody is. If your cause is just, people will catch on. 4) Is this supposed to engender sympathy for gays? It didn't. It made them look pitiful and stupid and hateful and crazy. The religious folks came off as shallow stereotypes. Did those religious people torture the gay people? No. Did the gays torture AND kill the religious people? Yes. 5) Isn't using a woman in the role of a trans-gendered man the same as putting a white actor in black face?
Inspector Lewis is my only reason for giving this ANY points when he gives the only honest line of the entire show. He points out that people with causes really are no different from people with religion.
This was a poorly written episode. Plot points were stretched to the point of breaking and the end was an overly dramatic bit of exploitative filler one would expect from a lesser series.
