Yet another installment of “Is This A Good Idea?”:

The incendiary but thoughtful filmmaker presumably has no beef with politicians who put up a straight facade while secretly gayin’ it up when their voting record doesn’t suggest anti-gay sentiments. It’s only when they spend their days voting against gay marriage and domestic-partnership benefits and filling their speeches with anti-gay rhetoric that Dick believes their private deeds ought to be made public. Outrage is based on the premise — which Dick assumes we agree with before he begins — that such votes are tantamount to homophobia, and that voters therefore deserve to know what their elected homophobes are up to after hours.
