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, an extended version of the film that originally aired on Trio TV, 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, humorous, and disturbing.
