The idea of gay republicans never made much sense to me. After all, why would a gay person want to associate with a party that compares homosexuality to pedophilia, incest, and bestiality, calls your existence a greater threat to America than terrorism, and has pinned its political future on demonizing you and taking away your rights? But if you were in the closet and wanted desperately to keep your sexuality secret, acting like a gay-hating conservative might seem like a pretty good disguise. That's the focus of Kirby Dick's powerful documentary, OUTRAGE, which outs several closeted republican politicians to show how their hypocrisy and virulently anti-gay voting records leads to gay people losing their rights, and sometimes their lives.
