A film that examines the small western Michigan villages of Saugatuck and Douglas, towns the culture wars forgot. Nestled next to each other along the Kalamazoo River with populations of just over 1,000, these rural villages have a substantial, but decidedly minority, gay population. In an area with many conservative and religious roots, gays and straights do not merely tolerate one another, but are thoroughly integrated politically, economically, socially and religiously. Indeed, residents do not identify each other firstly in sexual-identity terms, though a person's sexual identity is generally no secret either. The film explores how and why so. It does in part by asking residents from farmers to mayors how they themselves account for longstanding gay-straight integration.
