Kirby Dick, the Academy Award nominated film director for This Film Is Not Yet Rated, will soon be releasing a new film on the hypocrisy of in-the-closet gay politicians and the lengths Washington will go to help protect them even as they vote and legislate against equal rights and protections for gay and lesbian Americans.
The new film, Outrage will be released on May 8th but will be featured in the Tribeca Film Festival between April 22nd and May 3rd.
I haven't seen the film but understand that it is powerful and pulls ajar doors that some key Republican political personalities are trying to keep jammed shut. Gay activist, blogger, and gay Republican outing-machine Mike Rogers -- who nailed Senator Larry Craig (so to speak) -- features pretty heavily in the film, and I've been told today that yours truly appears in it as well.
Something for your calendars.

Ya think Kirby could do a documentary on an ANTI Gay Bakery in
Tulsa, Oklahoma? It is not just the bakery. A quiet snub is felt
here anytime the SUNDAY PEOPLE suspect you are living in a gay
relationship. A HUGE Quiet Sting of sorts...
I can do little but pass along the information in hopes that such
snobbery does not profit.
This in my email this morning...: 04-09-09
FYI,
Okay kids – time to pass the word. One of my co-worker’s
ordered a cake from Merritt’s for her husband’s birthday. She
wanted a picture on it (a big group pic of lots of friends, and in
the picture her husband was kissing some guy on the forehead –
real sexy stuff, huh?). She’s been going to Merritt’s for 20 plus
years like the rest of us. They told her it is against Merritt’s
corporate policy to put pictures of men-kissing-men or
women-kissing-women on any of their cakes (same goes for
two grooms or two brides on a wedding cake). So we just tested
it at work again this morning (pretended to order a cake and
sent over a picture to use with two guys kissing) and were told
the same thing. We could either cancel our order or send in a
different picture. All of this went down at the midtown location.
This really makes me sad as I’ve used Merritt’s forever. As of
today, no more business from me. Please forward this along to
everyone. Thanks,
