The Holy Closet is a 7-episode documentary web series on religious LGBTs that will air on KAN. Each episode focuses on a character, couple, or family at a different stage in life and around one significant moment - a date, pregnancy, brit, wedding, family reunion, holiday preparations, and a child's birthday.
