OUTRAGE — ReThink Review

The idea of gay republicans never made much sense to me. After all, why would a gay person want to associate with a party that compares homosexuality to pedophilia, incest, and bestiality, calls your existence a greater threat to America than terrorism, and has pinned its political future on demonizing you and taking away your rights? But if you were in the closet and wanted desperately to keep your sexuality secret, acting like a gay-hating conservative might seem like a pretty good disguise. That's the focus of Kirby Dick's powerful documentary, OUTRAGE, which outs several closeted republican politicians to show how their hypocrisy and virulently anti-gay voting records leads to gay people losing their rights, and sometimes their lives.

Jonathan- I love your reviews and subject matter you review. I just wish you'd slow down a little when you're talking- you go a little fast.

QUESTION: Is it ok to be a closeted gay Democratic politician with a bad gay rights voting record?

[jsjkim]

thanks man. I'll try to go slower. It's a bad habit of mine ;-(

I saw the documentary yesterday, and I think it is wondeerfull they expose the hypocratsy of these right winged bastards. Yes they maybe destroy a family but was it ever a real family they destroy? It is just a big dirty lie that attacks the rights of gay and lesbian... Love their works exposing the bastards.

Excellent review.

[FinallyTheNight]

The homosexual agenda strives for goals. Most have been realized.

[CelestialEmbodiment]

Homophobia is fear of homosexuals. Homosexuality is perversion. All pederasts are homosexuals. Parents MUST fear these homosexuals and protect their young sons from these perverts. The majority of serial killers are homosexuals; the majority of men in prison have been raped by homosexuals. Anyone entering prison must acquire a reasonable amount of homophobia as 100% of the sexual activity among prisoners is homosexual.

[CelestialEmbodiment]

Pederasts are men who conquer boys. The perversion is pederasty. Pederasts engage in homosexuality. Homosexuality: sexual acts among males, or among females.

[CelestialEmbodiment]

Pederasty is homosexuality.

I don't like republicans on EVERY level. In theier personal lives they ate FILTHY human beings

great review.

@revemupman Its not outing gay politicians , its outing hypocrisy. Nooe has any sympathy for them because they are self serving arseholes. They did it to themselves.

[revemupman]

The gay movement is here to let people know LGBT's deserve rights. Not out gay politicians, do you think this will help your movement? OF COURSE NOT, right wingers don't agree with gays weather their partners come out or not. Someone will always disagree with alt lifestyles.

[revemupman]

@Jattai "Its always the same with you right wing types."

That's your problem right there, you assume I'm a right wing because I don't agree with this Nazi regime taking effect. You think Harvey Milk would be proud of you outing politicians like that? People's PERSONAL LIVES, that's a very delicate place for a lot people who are coming to terms with them self. IT IS A SELF JOURNEY and it shouldn't be forced. Hypocrite or not, that's that hypocrite's life, STAY OUT!
