He doesn't represent me literally, figuratively, or metaphysically in any sense. I can't stand it when members of a group take credit when someone with whom they share a tentative, unimportant connection (gender, sexuality, race, etc.) achieves something admirable or when they are embarrassed at the opposite. Such thinking is barnyard politics and will likely get Obama elected. I may sense some shame that Frank is considered an intelligent human being, but his sexuality gives him no claim on my time or energy beyond this comment.

He can provide the links if you ask nicely.

I have never liked Barney Frank because he whines against conservatism and anything he does not like and, as is apparent to the news-watching world, has pushed some very bad legislation which shakes the very core of world finances. And my 401(k). I doubt McCain would ever slur anyone: it is not his style. He may cringe if he thinks of the mechanics of gay sex, but I'm sure he has respect for those who are respectable. Even my little gay nephew, who was raised in his district and raised to believe that Frank is wonderful, saw right through it all as soon as he started college, where he went from a nominal leftie to a fiscal conservative in one year. Ain't education grand? Barney, hardly anyone dislikes you because you're gay. I dislike you because you're gay and make me look bad by association.
