Corwin's battle with Gaymerica is about to begin…
It’s 2047. The United States has split into two nations. One, America, is a traditionalist Christian nation dedicated to the practices of Capitalism, evangelical Christianity, and heterosexism. The other, the Western States, is the bastard secessionist spawn of America inhabiting the Left coast of the continent.
Corwin Hawley has been selected by the American government to infiltrate the Western States and aid the process of toppling their evil ruler, the Queen Supreme. But, when he arrives, reality and his training come into conflict. Will he stay the course? Or, will he fall victim to the unrelenting allure of the gays?

Gaymerica may be a political satire, but the message and theme are pretty clear. Tolerance is not enough. Divisiveness and ignorance can only end with acceptance.
I know that some of you folks aren't from Minnesota and may not be aware of what we faced on November 6, 2012. The Republican-held legislature couldn't get hateful legislation past Democratic governor Mark Dayton, so they put an anti-marriage amendment on the ballot for the voters to decide.
Now, the amendment has been defeated and thanks to quick action by the newly-elected state government, marriage is legal for all in Minnesota as of August 1st, 2013, and in the US as of June 26th, 2015.
