Description
Product Description After years of relative obscurity, Log Cabin—the gay Republican club formed in California in 1977—has found itself in the National spotlight. George Bush’s unequivocal opposition to gay marriage put them at the forefront of one of the most hotly contested elections in years. With the issue of whether or not to support the President distilling into a stark choice between their civil rights and their loyalty to the party, 2004 forced the Gay Republicans to a crude decision: what was more important, being gay or being Republican? This documentary follows a handful of Log Cabin members on their different paths to "Decision 2004." A stereotype-shattering, gut wrenching portrait of an organization in turmoil that is incisive, moving, disturbing and humorous. Watch as POLITICS GETS PERSONAL. Review Alongside this political turmoil are some colorful personalities that remain amusingly memorable. -- Variety, November 17, 2004Examines the schism created this year in Log Cabin Republicans when Bush called for an amendment to ban gay marriage. -- Hollywood Reporter, November 15, 2004

This documentary starts off by presenting gay Republicans as the bats between the birds and the beasts. "Gays don't like us for being Republican and Republicans don't like us for being gay." However, this was really about an internal dispute. Since Bush the Second stated that he is against gay marriage, Log Cabin members were divided on whether to support him or not.The cover of this DVD only shows white men. That was a grave error in that a woman is featured here. She is the most articulate and reasonable person of those featured. This movie quickly states, "The grand majority of Log Cabin members are older, white men." and then moves on. No, this needs to be interrogated. Usually when a group is incredibly homogenous, that's a problem because it doesn't include the positive aspects of diversity. In many ways, it seems as if these LC members are so privileged that they don't have to think about justice for all, they only feel the need to worry about their own self-interests.This documentary would never make a reasonable gay person want to convert to Republicanism. They never explain why they like the GOP; it's as if they are happy to be herded sheep. Most of the interviewees are rude and arrogant beyond belief. While one person passes out Bush propaganda, he curses at a civilian and starts making gestures with his hands and buttocks at him! This person says Barbara Streisand "should shut up" about her progressive beliefs. However, he never criticizes the many athletes that are pro-Republican. It's okay for him to express his political views, but somehow Babs, a fellow American, should not under his logic. Further, the interviewees make numerous statements that are just self-loathing and pathetic.This documentary never touches upon why most gay men and lesbians vote Democrat, rather than Republican. With Frank and Baldwin, there are more gay Democrats in the House than are Republicans. There are more gay Democrats than Republicans in state legislatures such as Illinois, Rhode Island, California, Texas, and numerous other states. As far back as 1972, the Democratic National Convention has had openly gay speakers. At the most recent Conventions, Roberta Achtenburg, an out lesbian, was welcomed by Democrats without exception; many Republicans ignored openly gay Jim Kolbe when he spoke at their convention, even though he did not speak about a gay topic. Former President Clinton supported ENDA and the current president has said almost nothing about it. Still in all, the Log Cabin member interviewed seemed to be totally ignorant of what the gay Democratic majority could let them know.This is not a bad documentary. I give this a low rating because those interviewed were so obnoxious and repulsive.
