Outrage é um documentário de 2009 dirigido por Kirby Dick sobre políticos gays norte-americanos no armário e que patrocinam legislação antigay. Esses políticos incluem o governador da Flórida, Charlie Crist, o congressista pela Califórnia David Dreier, o ex-prefeito de Nova Iorque, Ed Koch, e o ex-congressista pela Louisiana, Jim McCrery. O filme também apresenta entrevistas com os políticos abertamente gays Barney Frank, Jim McGreevey, e Tammy Baldwin. Quando perguntado sobre a ética em revelar a orientação sexual de políticos que optaram em preservar suas vidas particulares, Dick respondeu dizendo "nosso filme toma a posição de não visar os políticos que estão no armário mas não votam contra os gays". O filme foi produzido por Chain Camera Pictures, a produtora co-fundada por Kirby Dick. O Sundance Institute deu fundos para a produção do filme.

This film is a fascinating look at some people afflicted with congenital deformities of an extreme nature. Their ability to live with their aberrations while remaining socially involved and upbeat is truly inspirational. While their predecessors were often seen in so called "freak shows" that were part of various exhibitions from Coney Island to traveling circuses, these performers were actually the more fortunate ones in an era of little tolerance for those who were different from the accepted norm. Many became famous and extremely wealthy, such as Tom Thumb (Charles Sherwood Stratton), who worked for many years with P.T. Barnum.
