Outrage: New Documentary (Literally) Outs Gay Rights Hypocrites & Interview With Director Kirby Dick

[ihavenobias]

Here's a synopsis of the movie (which currently has a 68% fresh rating based on 31 reviews) from :

From Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick () comes Outrage, a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians with appalling gay rights voting records who actively campaign against the LGBT community they covertly belong to. Boldly revealing the hidden lives of some of the United States' most powerful policymakers, Outragetakes a comprehensive look at the harm they've inflicted on millions of Americans, and examines the media's complicity in keeping their secrets.

With analysis from prominent members of the gay community such as Congressman Barney Frank, former NJ Governor Jim McGreevey, activist Larry Kramer, radio personality Michelangelo Signorile, and openly gay congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (Representative, Wisconsin 2nd district), Outrageprobes deeply into the psychology of this double lifestyle, the ethics of outing closeted politicians, the double standards that the media upholds in its coverage of the sex lives of gay public figures, and much more. --© Magnolia Pictures

for an interesting interview Cenk did Friday with director Kirby Dick that was posted on YouTube. I actually hadn't heard of this movie before I watched the interview, but now that I have, I'm looking forward to seeing it. Personally, I think the concept is fine, although I understand why some people are 50/50 on the fact that former (D) Mayor of NY Ed Koch is in the movie.

What do you think? Will you see it?

7. why would anyone have problems with Koch being included

To me he is one of the worst political villians of all time. His Party matters not to me.

15. Interesting that Dick is outing hypocrites

who happen to be gay. Documentarians have more guts than the average person.

[ihavenobias]

23. Have you seen This Film Is Not Rated?

I haven't, but I need to put that on the list too.

[yellerpup]

24. Nope.

I used to flack docs for HBO, though, and I swear that some of these people have more guts and take bigger risks than Rangers or Seals. I am not familiar with Dick's work, I've just seen him in interviews.
