Academy Award nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick (This Film Is Not Yet Rated) delivers a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians who actively campaign against the LGBT community they covertly belong to. OUTRAGE boldly reveals the hidden lives of some of our nation’s most powerful policymakers, details the harm they've inflicted on millions of Americans, and examines the media's complicity in keeping their secrets.

I can very highly recommend this film. I saw it back in February of 2010 and it left a very strong impression on me. It isn't about exposing closeted politicians, but about the effects they have when they are so self-hating and/or avaricious that they will place their votes in places that cause tremendous harm to their own community. Staying in the closet is their business, but using their power to make it even harder for others of their community is unconscionable and should be exposed to the light of day. I hope every right-minded citizen will view this and come away asking questions and demanding answers. Grammy

Btw, the DVD is not only available on Netflix right now, but is also available for streaming to your computer with them. That's how I saw the film.
