The basic premise is beyond disingenuous. In a republican form of government, legislators are elected to represent the people who elect them. If a legislator is a closet homosexual or an open homosexual, should be completely irrelevant. A legislator is not elected to pander to special interest groups. Unfortunately, some relatively very small special interest groups are very vocal and have the cash to buy politicians votes. Naturally, when the greater public get wind of it, they really are outraged.
For a closet homosexual politician to vote for the interests of his voter base against the legalization of homosexual practices is not hypocritical, but the only honest thing to do. If he were to vote for the homosexual practices he favors but do not find resonance in his base, that would simply be dishonest. For these reasons, I cannot recommend this film as anything more than simply disingenuous.
