Kitsap Pride presents OUTRAGE on Friday, July 10.
Academy Award nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick (“This Film Is Not Yet Rated”) serves up a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians who actively campaign and vote against the LGBT community they covertly belong to. “Outrage” goes deep into the private lives of some of our nation’s most powerful policymakers and political officials, unabashedly revealing their hidden lives.
Through first person interviews with ex-lovers and LGBT commentators, the film details the harm our political representatives have inflicted on millions of Americans, and examines the media’s complicity in keeping their secrets. Well known activists from Larry Kramer to Elizabeth Birch to Rodger McFarlane to politicians including Barney Frank and former NJ Governor Jim McGreevey, all go on the offensive as they describe the destructiveness of the closeted and, especially, the Washington closeted life.
While ‘outing’ closeted gays has long been considered out of bounds, Dick explodes this nicety as he shows the relationship between closeted lawmakers and their anti-LGBT voting records. From the beginning of the fight to gain funding for HIV/AIDS education and treatment, through the current battle over marriage equality, closeted gay lawmakers repeatedly voted against their communities.
