I'm not a fan of Barney Frank, but I don't get your connection between his homosexuality and death. If you waived a wand and made him strait, he'd still run to the next camaera and advocate Terri's murder. Agree with the rest of what you've said.
The point is he's immersed in the culture of death and is one of the leaders in trying to get the rest of the country to accept his agenda.
