There's a new documentary, which started yesterday in San Francisco, called Outrage. The purpose of the documentary is to out closeted fags in positions of political power, who use that power to damage the rest of us. I can't wait to see it.As a middle-aged gay man, I remember the time when rule #1 was that we never out one of our own. Coming out of the closet was supposed to be a personal decision, and would never be forced on anyone. That's why Rock Hudson was able to keep his image as a lady killer while he was secretly playing around with all his boy toys in Hollywood.
That was then. This is now. I say if someone in a position of power is actively using that power to damage the rest of us, fuck them. Bring it on. Let's rip those closet doors off.
From all the stories I've heard, if all the secretly gay repugs in Washington were outed, there wouldn't be many left.

I'm with you. Out the bastards if they are working against our interests. Any homosexual, in a position of power or not, who makes derogatory, hateful or otherwise against LGBT people should be outed.
We should not out anyone who is not making any statements derogatory to us. They can come out on their own time, but I would encourage them to do so sooner than later. The more we are out and people know us, the sooner the straight folks will learn that we are good people, not to be feared and deserving of our rights.
