WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Barney Frank [related, bio] will film an ad defending same-sex parenting in response to the flap over a PBS children's program denounced by the Bush administration for showing kids with lesbian mothers.
The gay-rights group Family Pride Coalition asked the Newton Democrat to appear in the public service announcement after Bush Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings warned PBS in January not to show an episode of ``Postcards from Buster.''
PBS decided not to distribute the episode in which an animated rabbit visits Vermont to learn about making maple syrup with real children, two of whose parents are lesbians.
But WGBH in Boston, which produces the show, made the episode available to other stations.
``She didn't think children should know there are such things as lesbians in the world, and when you have the administration at that point, it's appropriate to say I think that's not a good way to bring up kids,'' Frank said.
Frank will film the ad Monday.
Actor B.D. Wong and Karen Pike, one of the mothers from the episode, will also appear in it.
The PSA will appear on a variety of Web sites later this month and will be provided to television outlets. Since it is not a paid ad, the stations must choose to run it.
Spelling's letter to PBS said, ``Many parents would not want their young children exposed to the lifestyles portrayed in the episode.''
Last month, Frank wrote a scathing letter in response, stating ``how deeply I resent your profoundly degrading comments.''
Frank said none of his siblings' children or grandchildren had been harmed by learning at a young age that he shared his life with a man.
I want to know if Barney is going to play dress up like Buster with his trap door PJ'S.
Jesus said: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." -from THE BIBLE: Matthew 19:4-6
Wouldn't guessing be kind of a dumb way to go about it?

What is surprising about Barney Fwank,( known peter-puffer, and Madame of a fruit house of prostitution) defending adoption of babies by other fruits.
Why should Homosexual males and females not be allowed adopt to grow their own little Homosexuals?
Is that THE Buster Hyman !?
The radical left is making a grab for our kids. You have to ask yourself why homosexuals are so anxious to be alone with our Boy Scouts.
This is what the left is up to:
In Vermont, a program was instituted called Outright Vermont. Vermont schools advertise this program on bulletin boards and the materials contain links to web sites which lead to adult gay male porn sites. Last year, NYT opened the first gay high school in the nation.
Former Gov. Gay Davis of California signed a sex education law that requires students to adopt a healthy attitude toward homosexuality. The NEA has been developing programs to incorporate the gay agenda into our public schools for children of all ages.
Many programs have been in place for over 20 years and the curricula is getting more radical each year.
NEA is trying to force state governments to require both home schoolers and private schools to teach pro gay agendas or refuse to validate their diplomas.
The NEA has successfully sponsored a curriculum which some schools have adopted that requires children to partake in "Gay Day" which involved playacting.
In March 2002, Penn State University featured an advocate of pedophilia at a women's health conference, despite congressional disapproval and parental concerns.
In 1998, the American Psychological Associated claimed that pedophilia often "does not cause intense harm on a pervasive basis."
The North American Man Boy Love Assoc. (NAMBLA) is a regularly quoted member of the gay movement and pedophile themes abound in their literature. Their web site quotes "...instead of condemning pedophiles for their involvement with lesbian and gay youth, we should be supporting them." The gay movement does not condemn these comments or ask that the Association refrain from attaching itself to their agenda.
The taboo against adult-child sex is eroding and the NYT and other cultural elite press regularly praise literary works containing pedophilia relationships. Poet Allen Ginsberg was a pedophile and member of NAMBLA. His poetry contained explicit references to pedophilia and yet when he died in 1997, journalists praised him as an icon whose poetry was without rival.
Researchers differ on the numbers, but approximately 25% of gay men report they wre molested as children which they blame for setting them on the road to homosexuality. This is not to paint all gays as having predatory motives, but I believe that gay marriage will provide an access to children through adoption that is unprecedented and dangerous. And yet, we are told that praying in school is dangerous to our children. Moral relativism is standing on its head.
Trap Door PJ's hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
A REPROBATE LIAR taking out an ad to defend his corrupt and
destructive lifestyle choice and the "already captured liberal establishment and th epress" eat it up with spoons.
Only in America.
ping.
Hard to imagine the state which once gave us Patriots like Paul Revere and Sam Adams; now gives us Massholes like Frank, Kerry, and Kennedy.
Whe the heck does Frank think that babies need to know anything about sex?
If you want on/off the ping list see my profile page.
BD Wong is the Asian Psychiatrist on Law & Order SVU ;o)
It was bad enough when PBS did recruiting drives for members and money. Now this?
Because none of them came back for more.
