whitewashed sepulchres? "outrage", political outing documentary

5/12/2009
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Matthew 23:27


a very controversial subject - should public figures have their sex lives exposed? is there a different standard for public figures who speak out openly against gay issues who live homosexual lives themselves? is it then a matter of public record since they themselves have taken up the issue? at the end of the trailer we see new jersey former governor mcgreevey who lived a married heterosexual life and only came out when forced to by one of his former lovers going on about "what are the true values? the true value should be honesty." - how did he feel about honesty while he was still in a position of power? now that his situation was revealed against his will he is suddenly very pro-honesty... is this a genuine "conversion" of thought or just useful for him so he can now take on a new career as a speaker suddenly in favor of gay rights (at a hefty fee per speech, mind you.) Allot of questions. wonder what the documentary below will reveal:



In the documentary, Dick lambastes the mainstream media for not better investigating the politicians' "hypocrisy" and double lives. He told New York magazine that the film explores "the issues surrounding closeted politicians and their hypocrisy in voting anti-gay -- and how these people have harmed millions of Americans for many years. Outrage" premieres May 8 in five cities, including Washington, D.C.
