Amid a galloping onslaught of misinformation and violence, lesbians and gay men in the U.S. are struggling harder than ever to claim their civil and human rights. While the insurgent Religious Right mobilizes to implement anti-gay measures state by state, the lesbian and gay community is activating to turn the tide of discrimination and keep its eyes on federal gay rights at the same time. The film is a document of the religious right's blatant and hateful attacks against the lesbian and gay community and it reveals the real agenda of the Christian Right to gain power and impose a "Biblical rule".
