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 film documentaire raconte le destin de deux jeunes femmes, Emma Pitoizet et Thérèse Pierre, professeures toutes les deux, dans les années 1930 et qui tentent de construire ensemble une vie à la fois engagée et amoureuse. L’été 35, elles font « le voyage en URSS » et songent à adopter un enfant. Leur émancipation va se transformer en apprentissage douloureux puis en épreuve. En 40, après avoir brutalement rompu, elles se trouvent confrontées à la catastrophe : Emma, mariée, vivra dans une Alsace annexée par l’Allemagne nazie, et s’y reniera dans la douleur. Thérèse s’engagera dans la Résistance en Bretagne. Arrêtée par la Gestapo, elle meurt sous la torture en 43. Elle n’a pas parlé.
