Is this really an OUTRAGE?

Documentary Outrage has recently been released, causing what can be deemed a surprising division amongst homosexuals across the country. The film is said to use keen investigating techniques to go behind the scenes and into the closets of politicians who participate in homosexual conduct secretly. It's been made very clear that the folks behind the film deliberately strayed from any sort of tabloid sensationalized story telling. This film contains facts! Be it fact or fiction, is this the proper approach?

Personally, outing someone is not an option. Generally the LGBT community disagrees. As someone whose never had to "come out of the closet" I see forcing someone out as a great disservice. To out someone is to reveal a private aspect of said person's life that you may not agree with. When is the last time YOU outed someone thinking it would do them any GOOD? For those of you who believe that someone should be outed, is this because you also believe that being homosexual is wrong?

As you mull that over let's survey the suspects:

Politicians in power, voting no for gay rights and marriage equality. These same politicians than enjoying secret (and sometimes seedy) gay lifestyles. This can be looked at a multitude of ways. The politician is wrong for enjoying the parts of homosexuality that benefit him/her (sex). The politician isnt wrong for enjoying certain aspects of homosexuality, but wrong for not voting on identified homosexuals to enjoy other aspects (such as gay marriage). Now think of this some more. Have you ever had a secret, torrid, or ilicit affair? Do you believe in marriage after such an affair? If you were married, did you confess your dirty deeds to everyone? Is an affair of any sort of sexual nature news worthy?

If you find yourself answering yes to a lot of these questions maybe you too suffer with an issue of self-loathing as these politicians do. Don't get me wrong i don't believe that those who condone outing anyone neccasarily suffer from internalized homophobia o self-hate. I do , however believe that the big picture is being missed.
