OUTRAGE: a documentary about don't ask, don't tell policies in D.C.
Tonight at 9pm ET/PT, HBO is premiering the documentary, Outrage, Kirby Dick’s searing indictment of politicians with appalling gay-rights voting records who actively campaign against the gay community they reportedly belong to, at least covertly.
Dick's film declares up front that there is a widespread conspiracy among closeted gay lawmakers, who often publicly speak and vote as "social conservatives" opposing basic rights for gay people.
Equally disturbing, the film explores the media’s complicity in keeping those secrets, despite the growing efforts to “out” them by gay-rights organizations and bloggers.
What can you do?

i think don't ask don't tell is a dumb policy. however, people do have the right to keep their sexual orientation between them and their partners. but i can't imagine being gay and voting against gay rights...
