Review – Outrage

This is tricky business. Everyone hates a hypocrite, and powerful politicians make especially tempting targets. Why should closeted gay and bisexual men be able to rise to positions of prominence by feeding on anti-gay bigotry? But then why should anyone be able to rise to a position of prominence by feeding on any kind of bigotry? Though the hypocrisy might justify the invasion of privacy when they’re “outed,” the punishment comes in the form of more discrimination, this time against a perpetrator. Clearly the sociology and politics of this issue are more than can be covered in a paragraph-long movie review, because they also seemed to be too much for a 90-minute documentary to treat fully. Mildly amusing
