Outrage

A documentary that explores closeted politicians who lobby for anti-gay legislation.

Director Kirby Dick exposes what he deems to be the rampant, hypocritical homophobia that exists in an American government that is, in fact, teeming with closeted homosexuals. Dick interviews the political community’s most prominent gay figures, as well as many others who share their own thoughtful insights into just how deeply the personal and political corruption runs. In what is clearly the most controversial aspect of the film, Dick makes a case for the homosexuality of several politicians who continue to deny it. But OUTRAGE is by no means a finger-wagging witch-hunt--Dick’s intention is not to ruin the life of anyone. Like McGreevey, who lived through his own personal years of torment, he believes that everyone would be better off if they acknowledged who they are, in public and in private.
