Why Senator Rick Scott Shut Down Our Christian Film About the LGBT Agenda

When even Republican senators are too afraid to host a Christian film, it’s not just a cancellation—it’s a crisis of courage.

We expected backlash. We expected protests. We even expected the mainstream media to attack our film.

But what we didn't expect—and what shocked us to the core—was being canceled by one of our own, a move that left us all in disbelief.

This June, our Christian Action Network was scheduled to premiere our new documentary, Stolen Rainbow, in the Senate Hart Office Building. We had submitted the request, received a positive response from Senator Rick Scott's office, and were preparing to launch the film just steps from the U.S. Capitol.

Then—without warning—Senator Rick Scott pulled the plug.

Let me be clear: this wasn't a misunderstanding, this wasn't a double booking, and it certainly wasn't because of a lack of space.

Here's what we received from Elli Dalton, Sen. Scott's scheduler, on March 14 in response to our room request:

"Thank you for sending this request. I will work on this and circle back with any availability!"

Though not using the word "approved," that response is effectively a green light. Anyone familiar with Senate building operations knows that finding a room for a June event with that much notice is not an issue. After that message, we began preparing for the screening.

But three weeks passed. No updates. No room number. No response.

So, we followed up. And that's when the door slammed shut.

On April 3, we received this:

"I'm so sorry, we do not expect to be able to accommodate this room request. We will let you know if anything changes but I suggest reaching out to a different office. I apologize for the inconvenience."

No explanation. No clarification. And most telling of all: no mention of room unavailability.

We replied graciously, even offering flexibility in the timing—any day, any month.

But we never heard back. We were ghosted like a 16-year-old girl on prom night.

This was not a scheduling issue.

This was a decision—and a deliberate one. A decision that could have been communicated weeks earlier.

Instead, they left us rotting like an overripe banana and then had the audacity to suggest we "reach out to a different office," something they could easily have told us back in March, giving us more time to reach "a different office."

So What Happened?

Let me be blunt: Stolen Rainbow isn't "hateful," "homophobic," or "extremist." It's a factual, hard-hitting documentary that exposes how the LGBT movement hijacked the rainbow, rewrote history, and pushed a radical agenda that's targeting America's children under the false flag of love and inclusion.

It's bold—but it's the truth.

And apparently, the truth is now too dangerous for the U.S. Senate.

It's packed with facts, testimony, and courage—exactly the kind of message that will panic both activist groups and (apparently) Republican senators.

It's no stretch to believe that political pressure—perhaps even from within his own office—pushed Senator Scott to revoke our reservation. But instead of standing strong, he chose silence, safety, and walking away from the fight.

And by doing so, he handed the radical left exactly what they wanted: a Christian voice silenced on Capitol Hill.

The GOP's Culture War Retreat?

Senator Scott's actions raise a bigger question: What's happening to the conservative movement?

When even Republican senators refuse to host a film exposing the LGBT agenda—when they quietly step back rather than stand up—who's left to defend truth?

The message to Christians is loud and clear: Don't count on Capitol Hill.

If the Senate Won't Hear It, We'll Take It to the People

We're not quitting. If Senator Scott won't host Stolen Rainbow, then we'll find a venue that will. A different Member of Congress. A theater. A church. A public square.

We will show this film.

Because if the rainbow has been stolen, we're going to take it back—one heart, one screen, one stand at a time.

But we can't do it alone. We need your help to make this happen.

Help Us Stand Where Others Backed Down

We're working now to reschedule the premiere—possibly at a nearby venue in Washington, D.C.—and to launch a bold nationwide campaign to ensure this film reaches families, pastors, and educators across America.

If you're tired of Christian voices being silenced—even by so-called conservatives—then stand with us. We’re not giving up. We’re taking Stolen Rainbow directly to the people.

But we need your help to do it.

Because if we don’t speak up now… who will?
