In #UnderTheBannerOfHeaven, Dustin Lance Black delivers an unflinching portrait of the faith he grew up in: “I was sometimes angry that so much about my own faith had been withheld from me.” lat.ms/3737krk 
“I was also heartened that I wasn’t insane, that my doubts were legitimate,” says Black, who grew alienated from the church over how it handled his mother’s physically abusive marriage. “I didn’t understand why it should be life and death to believe.” lat.ms/3737krk
