Outrage: Do Ask, Do Tell — A Documentary on Outing

Kirby Dick, director of the new film Outrage, was interviewed on Fresh Air this week by Terry Gross. She asked what level of hypocrisy merits ruining, somebody's life and career?

Mr. DICK: I looked at their voting records... and if their voting records were substantially anti-gay, I think in the case of all the politicians I had focused on, they were anywhere between zero and 25 percent pro-gay, the rest was anti-gay. And that to me, over oftentimes a two-decade career, was certainly an indication that this was an example of hypocrisy. [...]

GROSS: Do you know if any of the closeted gay politicians who were outed changed their voting patterns after being outed?
