I would have been less likely to watch if a "gay couple" and their lifestyle had been the focus of the movie. As it was presented, the movie was about how a group of Americans (black, white, yellow, etc. with no concern for sexual habits) acted as heroes on that day.

Also, contrary to normal Hollywood values, I was very pleasantly surprised to see the Lord's Prayer was given as much prominence as it was. The murderous terrorists prayed for destruction which they received, yet I have no doubt they now regret it. The passengers prayed for the strength to save themselves and others and though they died, they saved others from destruction.

There was a stark contrast between the terrorists and the heroes. Allah, god of destruction in opposition to our heavenly Father and Jesus, God of Salvation. That scene, a rarity in today's movies, gives me even more reason to recommend this movie to others.

One good thing about A&E's movie, "Flight 93" was between Todd Beamer and GTE supervisor, Lisa D. Jefferson, when they recited the Lord's Prayer. That was very, very touching...
