Outing Gay Hypocrisy

There exists a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy to keep gay and lesbian politicians as closeted as possible." So begins the recently released film "Outrage", that purports to constitute a documentary about the hypocrisy of gay politicians who have the affrontery to vote against "gay rights". The filmmakers insist that they are not attempting to out politicians' sexuality, but only to complete the record and tell the truth in the name of good journalism. They are leading the moral banner of media accountability on the issue of homosexuality. There's just one problem: the claim is a lie. The filmmakers are guilty of all the sins they accuse the mainstream media of committing, and more.

First, the film focuses almost exclusively on outing Republicans. While true that it is more difficult for Republicans to come out of the closet than Democrats, surely there must be some closeted Democrats who are in need of a good outing. Second, for several of the allegedly gay Republicans that the film outs, scanty evidence was provided other than claims of uncorroborated hearsay.

Next, the film promises to complete gaps in reporting and then conspicuously omits selective facts. For example, Democrat Congressman Barney Frank who was in the closet for fifteen years, was held up as the poster boy of truth in homosexuality. During his interview he asserted that "it is very important that the people who make the law be subject to the law."

Two years before he came out in 1987, he paid a gay prostitute in order to keep his orientation concealed. The prostitute subsequently became his "assistant" for $20,000 per year. In 1989, law enforcement discovered that the assistant was running a prostitution ring in Barney's basement.

“it is very important that the people who make the law be subject to the law.” To bad that seldom happens see congress and senate Mary Jo cries.

I find it very humorous that when celbs and politicians who are “big” supporters of homosexuals, when “outed” or accused of being homosexual go ballistic and deny deny deny deny and on many occasions sue the outer.
If there is nothing wrong with homosexuality why do they get so agitated?
Anyone with a brain knows they do not believe their own rhetoric.
Homosexuals are pets to the celbs, probably the same for politicians.

You’re right. Liz Taylor seemed to regard Jacko as a pet poodle.
