Gay marriage has officially come to Capitol Hill! Barney Frank, a former Democratic member of Congress, recently married his partner. It was just a matter of time, but still may be a shocker to some Americans. What is you opinion on this matter?

PEOPLE.COM reports:
Frank and James Ready met at a 2005 fundraiser, and wed in Massachusetts on Saturday

I am seeing a whole neew side to people I considered friends, a dark, nasty side I am ashamed of. I am really quite shocked at the level of malevolence I am reading.

Then Wear a mask. Then you won't see anything that 'defiles' you, and no one will have to see you and feel de-flied ( and I meant to say 'flied, as in zipper, since your so devastated about what's under their zipper..

I do not need the mask but it may work for you.

Barney Frank in my opinion was a great Democratic Congressman, I like what he stands for politically. However, when it comes to couples, in my view and from my understanding and opinion, a couple constitutes a man and a woman, not a man and a man.

Great congressman? You don't remember him saying there is no crisis?

reply
Max7 to teigan 2012/07/12 02:48:33

You stick to what you want, and I'll repeat that as a Congressman I liked him. If I had a dollar for evrytime Cheney and Bush screwed up, I'd be wealthy.

reply
teigan to Max7 2012/07/12 21:05:43

So you like the fact that he denied there was a crisis looming. You like that he sat by and allowed it to happen? I would prefer to have someone that looks out for the American people. Thank you Barney Frank for not running again. His failure to listen and acknowlege the problem contributed to the crash of the housing market. But hey, give em a pass because he's a liberal.

You may have to tell them it's sarcasm ten times, they don't seem to catch on very easy.

Siniste... to Revkae 2012/07/16 03:16:11

I know right?! And it's not like MY sexual orientation has anything to do with the thread we're on. I just believe that gay/bi/non-straight people are normal and fully capable of achieving anything they want, which is why Barney Frank being the first gay and married congressman doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

But instead, he wants to tell me what MY sexual orientation is... maybe he wishes I was all the way gay cuz he wants me xD
lol, just kidding, but you really gotta wonder why these people can be so fixated on labeling others....

I always find it troubling to encounter people who have lived as long as you have, yet somehow managed to avoid gaining any grace or wisdom....

Do you say the same thing when they report the marriages of straight celebrities and politicians?

reply

If it a celebrities I don't really follow who marries who, As for Politicians, i don't know
who married to who.

Sure you do. Newt Gingrich has been married too many times for you to have never heard about it. Is the fact that his marriages were widely reported evidence of him "showing off" too?

... Barney Frank is one disgusting person, gay or not. But his new "wife?".... "husband?" must either
1. really love Barney or
2. figure Barney will be able to take care of him financially for the rest of his life.

I figure it's #2.
