The movie “Outrage” is coming to the Moxie on June 26. The film by documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick kicks Washington politicians out of the closet. These are the politicians who attempt to hide their sexuality by actively opposing gay rights legislation.
The film talks about Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho who found himself in hot water after “lewd” behavior in an airport and Sen. Edward L. Shrock, of Virginia, who resigned after being outed by The Advocate. The filmmakers also speak with some politicians, such as retired U.S. Representative Jim Kolbe who was out while in office.
Asked if he thought the film would be dismissed in a San Francisco Chronicle article, Dick says, “We spent nearly three years making this film, and we had a team of researchers. We made very sure that our cases were very strongly built. So, I'm 100 percent confident in our position.”
None-the-less the film will be controversial and make lots of folks in Washington uncomfortable if not angry.
