- It’s a big night for At-large D.C. Council member David Catania (I). He appears in a new documentary called OUTRAGE, about the practice of outing closeted politicians, which premieres on HBO at 9 p.m. tonight; and we assume he’ll be busy preparing for tomorrow morning’s introduction of his gay marriage bill at the John A. Wilson Building – which is sure to bring out scores of activists on both sides of the issue.
