Outrage argues that several American political figures have led closeted gay lives while supporting and endorsing legislation that is harmful to the gay community. The film examines mass media's reluctance to discuss issues involving gay politicians despite many comparable news stories about heterosexual politicians and scandals. Outrage describes this behavior as a form of institutionalized homophobia that has resulted in a tacit policy of self-censorship when reporting on these issues. The film is based on the work of blogger Michael Rogers and his site BlogActive.com.

Ce documentaire, tourné en Haïti, décrit un groupe d'homosexuels et travestis, dans un contexte donné : le Vaudou (vodou). La mise en relation de ces deux mondes conduit le spectateur dans un univers symbolique particulier, où les non-dits de la société civile donnent à s'exprimer, parfois dans la plus grande extraversion et théâtralité, parfois avec une émotion profonde. Une émotion qui reflète la quête de sens et de reconnaissance d’individus marginalisés dans un pays où l’évocation de l’homosexualité, et qui plus est du travestissement, reste encore tabou.
