Director Seeks To End The "Closet In American Politics"

(CBS)

Film director Kirby Dick has ruffled some feathers on Capitol Hill. His new documentary "Outrage" focuses on closeted, allegedly homosexual politicians who Kirby calls hypocrites for anti-gay policies.

"I hope this film will eventually lead to the demise of the closet in American politics, because the closet torts the American political system," the Oscar nominated filmmaker tells John Dickerson on CBSNews.com's "Washington Unplugged."

Dick says that a team of researchers underwent the investigation into politicians' sexuality over a series of years.
