“Bruno” Backfire? Gay converting preacher turns movie mockery into run for Mayor
”It’s turned into a treÂÂÂmendous plus. I was able to share my mesÂÂÂsage. I used it as a platform. It turned into a tremenÂÂÂdously positive experience. People know that I stay true to myself…. It is important for us as Christians to stand up for what we believe is right, such as traditional marÂÂÂriage”
”I haven’t seen the movie. From what I understand it’s about an hour and a half of darkness and perversion with about three minutes of light.”
Jody Trautwein, 39, a precher in Birmingham, AL who was featured in the pseudo-documentary “Bruno” as a target for derision by actor Sacha Baron Cohen for his “pray the gay away” techniques. (AL.com) (AL.com)
