Four gay cops speak out. For each, being gay has shaped their professional paths - whether they'd like to admit it or not. Two veterans, a rookie and a copper who was so harassed on the job that he had to find refuge at a desk job. The stories provide a candid and unflinching look at the lives of gay cops. Featured are: Constable Jackie O'Keefe (43), a ten year veteran of the Toronto Police Force who entered policing after spending a decade as a lesbian activist; Sergeant Judy Nosworthy (48), a twenty two year veteran who is the country's first out Lesbian cop and the highest-ranking LGBT cop in Canada; Constable Todd Hillhouse (45), a nineteen year veteran who was hounded out of street patrols and into a desk job by homophobes in his division and Constable Paul Regan, a rookie whose just joined the service and is openly gay in his division.
