Barney, said it like it is,

when another panelist remarked, "Gay Republicans! Is that a crime?"

Barney Frank, cleared the air, “It would be if the Republicans had their way!’

Physical Intimacy between consenting adults is a crime in the state of Texas, and George Bush said it should remain a crime.

The supreme court voted that physical intimacy between consenting adults was not a crime: Scalia, Thomas, and Reinquist, dissented. If Roberts and Alito voted, there would be a five-man majority that votes intimacy between same-sex people is a crime."

Most astonishing is Republican hypocrisy because they vote for bills that deny them their same-sex rights. Same sex marriage gives consulting adults rights that has no effect on people who are heterosexual.
