"Outrage": This film is not yet giving Larry Craig mad heartburn ... but it will

Magnolia Pictures has released the official poster for the scandalous new documentary Outrage, which kisses and tells about closeted gays in politics (with an emphasis on the Republican-types, from what we hear).

The film comes from Kirby Dick, the guy behind the excellent This Film Is Not Yet Rated, and it pretty much guarantees to be a shitstorm of red, white and blue when it hits screens later this month (it preems at the Tribeca Film Festival, with a limited rollout shortly after). While part of the film focuses on out gay politicians like Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin and Jim McGreevey (who at this point would appear on film at the promise of a sandwich or a smile in his general direction), the meat of the story is in exposing the world of gay men and women who work quietly in conservative movements against gay causes.

The topic of "outing" in all its flavors is something that we discuss a lot here on the site, and the outing of closeted politicians who profit from the repression of other gay people is of particular interest. Is this a film that folks are looking forward to, or do you think it's counter-effective and exploitative? Either way, I'll probably be crying blood into my popcorn at the sight of all the combovers and ill-fitting suits...
