Gay Republicans (DVD)
I watched while fighting a bad cold, and on cold medicine, and it still kept me watching. Kinda slow moving, but very interesting. I had heard of the "log cabin republicans" but knew little about them. They were all for George W. until he went too far with efforts to institutionalize a ban a gay marriage. How could they possibly reconcile that within their group? Some tried, but the group officially voted not to support Bush. A few stragglers hung on, saying "it's just not time for gay marriage to be accepted." One particularly curious fellow, who at some point fully intends to marry his partner, when he is "allowed" by law - when the time is "right?"
This issue makes me crazy. We are at WAR. let's focus on fixing something important - not spend our time trying to legalize OBVIOUS discrimination. oh, and while we're at it, criticize the few strong relationships left int his country in a time of skyrocketing divorce rates and marital strife. ugh.
good flick though - yes, it was biased towards one side, but it had little more than straight narration, and the players told their own stories. i like to try to form my own opinion, rather than be "guided" to it by a michael moore-type film.
