I've read virtually everything Harrison has written, and most have been very, VERY good. I wouldn't call this QUITE as interesting, or on a par, as his Pulitzer finalist [b:Marjorie Prime|27130473|Marjorie Prime (TCG Edition)|Jordan Harrison|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1509371119s/27130473.jpg|47168359], but it does tackle a seriously neglected issue within the LGBT community; which is the fact that the rights of the 'T' in that equation frequently gets shoved aside when the other three have achieved parity for themselves. The dialogue is fierce and frequently funny, although gets a bit TOO polemical at times. But how great that Harrison has written a substantial role for a trans man, even if that means the play won't get produced that frequently, I suspect. Also, by the end of the play, I 'get' the title, but it IS rather misleading, since there are no actual Log Cabin Republican characters, per se.
