Outrage

This was much better than the other Kirby Dick film I've seen. This is a perfect example of why I keep HBO. Other than the original series and the occasional movie, I watch many of their documentaries. I would never have thought to have seen this in the theater or even to get it from Netflix. But I'm glad that I had a chance to see it.

The film is about closeted gay politicians who go out of their way to try to screw the gay community through legislation and policy decisions. Think of the likes of Larry Craig. But there are plenty of others most of whom still deny they are gay. The interviews with Jim McGreevy were quite illuminating. Also, I had no idea about the saga of Charlie Crist.
