What 83 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:12,659 is outing? There are some gay activists, like the defendant, who believe in 84 00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:15,500 forcing other gays to come out of the closet. 85 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,159 Sometimes it's gay politicians who don't support gay causes. Other times it's 86 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,750 just people that they want everyone to know are gay. 87 00:06:22,751 --> 00:06:23,759 Sounds nasty. 88 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,740 Well, the defendant has freedom of the press on his side. 89 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:28,880 What was published was true. 90 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,919 So it's not libel. It's probably not invasion of privacy either since my guy 91 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:34,919 a public figure. 92 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,079 Which is why he was outed in the first place. 93 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,159 Right. Oh, and a couple of queens get mad at each other. Look out. These are 94 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,079 queens, Douglas. 95 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,130 One is a cop and the other is a journalist. 96 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,280 They are both gay, but they're not queens. 97 00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:48,990 Mr. Becker. 98 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,159 Yeah.

The plaintiff claims that he was harmed by the truth, Your Honor. 158 00:10:22,810 --> 00:10:27,669 I'm attempting to show that 20 years of living a lie caused far more harm. The 159 00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:30,849 objection is overruled. You think what he did made it better for me? I think 160 00:10:30,850 --> 00:10:32,410 it's better to fight than to lie. 161 00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:34,010 Hey, I'll pick my own battles. 162 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,650 Do you believe that gay people are discriminated against? 163 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,090 Yes. 164 00:10:39,091 --> 00:10:42,079 Do you believe that the courts have failed to protect their rights? 165 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,090 Mm -hmm. That the police have failed to protect their lives? 166 00:10:45,980 --> 00:10:50,019 I believe all of that. Do you make room for the possibility that one reason the 167 00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:54,139 discrimination against gay people continues to exist is because gay people 168 00:10:54,140 --> 00:10:55,820 refuse to stand up and be counted? 169 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,200 I believe that what a person does is his or her own business. 170 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,140 It's not the government's. 171 00:11:02,141 --> 00:11:03,359 It's not... 172 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,600 They're bosses, and it's not his. 173 00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:10,900 I became a cop to protect people. Because of him, I can't be a cop 174 00:11:10,901 --> 00:11:14,559 There are plenty of gay people who choose to live the way I did. There are 175 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,990 people with families, people who don't want their lives destroyed. 176 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,280 I'm here now to protect them. 177 00:11:34,830 --> 00:11:35,880 Hey, Betty. 178 00:11:37,850 --> 00:11:39,150 What are you doing here? 179 00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:40,750 I came to visit. 180 00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:43,550 You won't go to a movie tonight? 181 00:11:44,530 --> 00:11:45,580 No. 182 00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:46,980 I want to. 183 00:11:48,010 --> 00:11:49,060 Go with Harold. 184 00:11:49,690 --> 00:11:52,190 I don't want to go with Harold.

I've only exposed two kinds of people. 382 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,639 Elected people who hurt us and those with enough visibility to help us. We 383 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:15,159 to know that gay men and lesbian women are actors and rock stars and executives 384 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,860 and hero cops. 385 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,299 Straight people need to know it about us, and we need to know it about 386 00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:25,650 ourselves. What goes through your mind when you look at Tom Cavanaugh now? 387 00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:30,649 I wish that I could tell him that I understand his pain, that I went through 388 00:23:30,650 --> 00:23:32,150 same thing he's going through. 389 00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:36,850 I was rejected by my family.

I think that the public has a legitimate interest in knowing about the 399 00:24:12,790 --> 00:24:14,850 private lives of its heroes. 400 00:24:14,851 --> 00:24:17,929 Now, you once concealed the fact that you were gay, didn't you? 401 00:24:17,930 --> 00:24:19,490 Oh, yeah.

I was thinking about living out the rest of my 405 00:24:29,550 --> 00:24:34,109 life unable to tell the truth about myself. Suddenly, I realized that I 406 00:24:34,110 --> 00:24:35,160 have to do that. 407 00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:40,349 Right then and there, I decided that I was going to tell the truth whether 408 00:24:40,350 --> 00:24:42,170 society wanted me to or not. 409 00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:43,530 You decided? 410 00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:46,060 Yes.
