They're the only ones dumb enough to get "caught" so far.

This is too damn funny...at least this guy has a case to defend himself cause once you get into blackmail territory credibility goes out of the window.

Anywhp, Washington has a fairly large gay population (probably second only to Cali) and the Democratic state legislator have been trying to pass domestic partnership bill for the past year or so but not without nasty fight from the house Republicans. This guy was an adamant hater of all things gay. How f'ing ironic! Still, you never know, he could be doing some field study on the merits of the bill.

The opening Act of the Birdcage is ringing more and more true each and every day.

Governor McGreevey and Barney Frank were first, both Dems.

True, but Barney Frank has been out of the closet for quite some time.

Yeah, I was just reminding people that immorality is not owned by either political party, you get good and bad in both....even though it's trendy to bash Republicans more than Democrats right now.

And before you accuse me of being a homophobe, I was refering more to the fact that Barney Frank had a male prostitute run a gay prostitution ring out of his home more than the simple fact of him just being gay. Somehow, he has been made into some kind of hero over that incident instead of being forced to resign. I wonder if a Republican did this, how it would turn out...

Of course. Just so you know, I'm deemed "conservative" by most Dems and "liberal" by most Republicans. So, I'm pretty middle of the road; I agree with some Republican ideas and some Democratic ideas. I just noted the article and the other incidents since it is ironic that the Republican party, which typically prides itself as the party of morals and gay-bashes, is often so caught up with these sorts of scandals. It's not like these guys were pro-gay marriage; they were adamnantly opposed to gay marriage, gay rights, etc. So, I find it ironic when they dress up in women's clothes and/or solicit unprotected sex from strangers.

If you think that being gay is immoral then you and the republican party deserve each other. The tragedy here is people denying who they are for their whole lives, and in these unusual circumstances making careers campaigning against others who are trying to exercise a similar freedom.

Barney Frank is still one of the most respected members of the democratic party. Maybe you think this bespeaks their immorality but I think it says a lot more about their tolerance.
