I have enjoyed this blog for a while but I find I’ve reached the point where I have to take it off my favorites list and be done with it.
Why ? Too much poorly thought out (and frankly right wing) political blather such as this article which poses as pro-gay commentary but in truth is just another attempt by exaggeration, misinformation and omission, to demean and belittle one of this country’s real gay leaders.

United we stand, people, and divided we fall.
Get a fucking clue !

@Republican: You should read this article about the American Family Association:

It seems they are using Rep. Frank’s refusal to co-sponsor the DOMA repeal to help rally the troops.

Barney Frank is ALWAYS an Uncle Tom, as long as he keeps getting invited to Dem cocktail parties.

Could it be because he wanted to actually get something important done and his own experiences have taught him just what a waste of time this childish shit is? Nah, couldn’t be that. It must be because he’s a conservative in disguise who secretly hates Obama, LOL.

What is wrong with Barney Frank? First he refuses to co-sponsor the DOMA repeal, now the religious right is starting to use him as their poster child! I’m starting to wonder if he is a closeted republican.

@Puck: You said “Or maybe its because he was once censured by the house and has abstained from all such votes since. Because it would be hypocritical for him to vote for it when he as that already on his record. Use your heads people.”

That is a ridiculous comment. That would be like somebody saying to a parent. “Well YOU went to jail for drugs so you CAN”T punish your child for taking drugs, and you can’t tell them not to do it because that would be hypocritical.”

The fact that Frank was once sanctioned by the house, in no way makes him a hypicrite for commenting on the bad behavior or others. If that were the case then he should give up his seat on the committee that looks over the behavior of the banks in America….after all, it would be hypocritical of him to judge others now wouldn’t it?

@Swimmer – Chicago: No, it’s because he is a Kappa, and doesn’t want to offend his neocon friends.

Frank is an idiot! I know the pc gays like him, but I think he does us more harm than good. He probably couldn’t vote for the resolution because he can’t keep his own mouth in check.
