Frank Criticizes Condi on Gay U.N. Positions

Democratic Rep. Barney Frank has criticized Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for her role in the rejection of two international gay civil rights groups by a United Nations body.

Last month, the U.N. Economic and Social Council, a think tank made up of nongovernmental agencies from around the world, voted not to admit the International Lesbian and Gay Association and the Danish Association of Gays and Lesbians.

According to 365Gay.com, their application to join other nongovernmental agencies on the council was rejected without a hearing after the United States voted with some of the world's most repressive regimes, including Iran, Zimbabwe, China, Cameroon and Columbia, to turn down the request.

"I was deeply troubled to learn that the U.S. Government, presumably at your direction, sided with some of the most undemocratic, anti-human rights regimes in the world in voting against consultative status for two international organizations, solely on the grounds that they represent gay and lesbian people," Frank, of Massachusetts, said in a letter to Rice.

You mean like you and your party did when you denounced the invasion of Iraq, Barney?

Now Barney, Muslims don't like gays and we don't want to offend them so get over it. No gays at the UN!

Since he had a homosexual prostitution ring running out of his apartment, he probably is an expert...

Gays are entitled to the same human rights as everybody else.

This does not entitle them to their own group at the United Nations. Siding with common sense against a move that would hinder future human rights efforts by the United Nations is definitely not comparable to the Democrats siding against freedom in their support of Saddam Hussein's regime.

I was having a conversation with my barber and he said he couldn't stand Barney Frank and he couldn't look at him when he was speaking because there was something wrong with his mouth.

I said,"It didn't get that way from eating bananas."

He had to put the scissors down while he dried his eyes.

Who cares what the Democrats are doing? I couldn't give the slightest ounce of thought to what an effete and gutless party thinks about our involvement in Iraq or gay rights.

However, I do care about allowing all people, regardless of sexuality, equal opportunity for representation. There are already a number of gay and lesbian groups - as well as Christian, Islamic, progressive and conservative groups - on this council, so it defies all reasoning to dismiss without hearing these two specific groups. Let them speak their piece and be torn apart when their weak-willed argument collapse around them.
