TV Movie Led to Prostitute's Disclosures

'Mayflower Madam' Gave Gobie Idea

By Bill Dedman Washington Post Staff Writer

August 27, 1989

Frank, one of two openly gay members of Congress, confirmed Friday that he paid Gobie for sex, hired him with personal funds as an aide and wrote letters on congressional stationery on his behalf to Virginia probation officials, but Frank said he fired Gobie when he learned that clients were visiting the apartment.

Although Frank and Gobie differ in some details of their relationship, they agree on the story line. They met on April Fool's Day 1985. The representative answered a classified ad in the Washington Blade, the local gay weekly. "Exceptionally good-looking, personable, muscular athlete is available. Hot bottom plus large endowment equals a good time."

Then in his third term, the 45-year-old representative had not yet stated his homosexuality publicly. He paid Gobie $80 in cash for sex.

Let me get this right, so the facts are that we are in this economic mess, because corrupt elected officials in congress are more concerned with perverse sex than the countries business and protecting our taxpayer dollars?

IT IS TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY!

A Republican sneezes in the wrong direction and he’s drummed out faster than you can say ‘bye!’

There’s a lot more here. A LOT more. I can’t decide whether to talk about what I know now or save it for my book.

Me, too. Few seem to care at all how he skirted the law. His constituents and colleagues seem to love him. I can't imagine the Globe running this story, haha.

Now, let's leave this man's personal life alone and get back to bigger issues, like Sen Craig... ;-)
