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.

I'm so sick of this sh*t I could scream. Barney Frank and his fellow sexual perverts need to realize that since there isn't a heterosexual U.N. Economic and Social Council, there shouldn't be one for homos.
These sexual deviants need to realize that no one cares about their friggin sex lives and we're sick of hearing about them!!!

I thought about the same thing. The Democrats have always had a love affair with any communist and despotic regime such as the Soviet Union, Nicaragua, Castro's Cuba, etc.

Thanks, I worked real hard to define my position without resorting to profanity....
Unfortunately, much of what I consider "expressive speech" is generally regarded as profanity.....

It's encouraging to find an issue we can all agree on.

I was somewhat troubled by this. I have yet to find a reasonable explanation of why we ended up on the same side of the vote on this issue with Iranian National Socialists. Perhaps someone here has an explanation. I sure can't figure one out.
ECOSOC is one of those harmless U.N. talk shops. I would look forward to Condi's explanation of this at her next conference.
Be Seeing You,

What? They're SUPPOSED to be there because they are homosexual organizations?
Barney Frank is such a maroon!
