On so many levels American policy is double moral and standards. These exposed politicians take to another level . The Movie is a good and enlightening account of different republican politicians, voting record and on the own fear of their own emotions. Should they be outed ?
Well, in my opinion they should. They are the enemy and if they would get their way, gays would be back in closet or in treatment or jail. It's important that the gay people in world don't get to naïve. All our gayright, we have been gaining throu 30 years of fighting, would easy suffer a backlash and we would be right back in the dark ages.
The movie should be seen as a documentary that is necessary and is justified.

Fascinating
9 Jun 2009
Format:DVD
Apparently the previous reviewer didn't actually SEE the film which I do believe is a prerequisite to a good review. This film is an eye-opener, an in depth examination of the extent that closeted gay politicians (and there are many) will go to protect themselves. This protection takes the form of the most vehement method of defense, reaction-formation. The primary point of the film is to question the practice of outing closeted gay politicians who promote and protect their own careers at the expense of the rights of others. Larry Craig is seen as a rather pathetic figure who's accusations of gay encounters go as far back as the 1980's, long before his last bathroom fiasco. Also interviewed are politicians who have come out of the closet (or been forced out) explaining the freedom attained through honesty. Most interesting is information surrounding the current governor of Florida. The film is riveting from beginning to end. Illustrations of a Freudian slip by a Fox news reporter provide a moment of laughter, while the censoring of an Anderson Cooper (of all people) Bill Maher interview which omits Maher's naming of a gay politician gives question to the beltways conspiracy to protect right-wing gay politicians and their staff. You will be amazed and surprised at the disclosures this film has to offer! A must see. Watch for the Republican conservative who takes his gay "right hand man" all over the world for extended travel but makes sure their arrival is always one day apart.

Hypocrisy, not homosexuality, is the problem!
24 Nov 2009
Format:DVD
Everyone's sex life is their own; it's no one's business what we do in our bedrooms, UNTIL some individuals (as our politicians do) decide to exercise their moral authority as though it was given to them by God.
It is disturbing to see how the people who lead our nation display duplicity every day. What good can we expect of people who can't be true to themselves?
It is very important to understand that this documentary does not present a compelling position for or against homosexuality. This documentary simply reveals the cheap games some politicians are playing to deceive their family and their people, while hiding the reality of their lives.
The saddest part for me was seeing the exwife of James McGreevy , the previous governor of New Jersey, who found out that her husband of many years and the father of her daughter was gay all along. How can we believe, as a nation, that somebody who can engage in such a selfish deception with his own family can work for the best interest of his nation?
It is time for people to stop following empty slogans and self appointed saints, it is time to think and this documentary will help!

Must see documentary...entertaining and timely
22 Jun 2009
Format:DVD
It has been said; "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". Even worse, is when good men lie about who they are and work for the opposition!
Unfortunately it is unpopular in many circles to be homosexual. I understand that you may want to hide to further your career or your political agenda. But to actively work against yourself and your rights is masochistic. If nothing else, I think the movie Outrage will educate all of us as to how self-hatred is belittling to the individual and harmful to society at large.
I love a good documentary. This one is definitely good, and definitely worth seeing!
