“What do you think happens in the House of Representatives?”

We know what happens — the male pages get molested.

[Jim Robinson]

Barney Frank showers with homos all the time. He should know. Whatta frickin pig!!

[rfp1234]

FUBF. BTW, the coed shower scenes from “Starship Troopers” were the only good parts of those movies.

[TigersEye]

Frank should be showering with men ... in prison.

[mylife]

The guy is crazier than a ****house rat.

[TheConservativeParty]

When Frank is quoted saying “what a silly issue”, he really said “what a thilly ithue.”

[mylife]

Seriously, when was the last time anyone here showered with another soldier besides bootcamp?

[brytlea]

The truth of the matter is, there is no explanation that makes sense why men and women should not shower together or even sleep in the same room, if homosexuals shower together and sleep in the same room, unless you can somehow make the case that homosexuals are somehow different than heterosexuals when it comes to sexual behavior. Do they want to make that case?

[23 Everest]

no barney you can’t enlist.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

“required” to shower together??? So, like they're going to make it a “rule”? I'll shower with whomever and whenever I like, Rep. Frank. I really don't think we need to make it a requirement, do we? Communal showers are provided it appears, and showers are somewhat mandatory, I presume, so just take the frigging€™ shower when you need one and...seriously? “required€????...and call it a day for the love of God.

Why the hell does a mere congressman have a say about details like this?

[lacrew]

Its a bad question. I’d like to ask if congressmen share a two man tent together, do tick checks on one another, huddle together for warmth, etc.

The bottom line is - the military doesn’t need this distraction. I predict that a year from now, when the NYT tries to do its ‘A Year After the Repeal’ story, they will be hard pressed to find half a dozen soldiers serving as openly gay.

Gay people don’t want to serve openly in the military. Gay people, who aren’t presently in the military, think its a great idea for others to serve openly...but they would never do it themselves.

[ColdOne]

What a sick bunch.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

"required" to shower together??? So, like they're going to make it a "rule"??? I'll shower with whomever and whenever I like, Rep. Frank. I really don't think we need to make it a requirement, do we? Communal showers are provided it appears, and showers are somewhat mandatory, I presume, so just take the friggin' shower when you need one and...seriously? "required"????...and call it a day for the love of God.

[traditional1]

I think he has shower facilities confused with "bath houses".

It is "discrimination" if heterosexuals are not allowed to shower with THEIR sex partners, in light of the sex deviates' priveledge, isn't it? This amounts to "preferential treatment" for a certain group, while the other group doesn't have the same "benefit".

[cripplecreek]

Gonna be a real mess when we throw transgendered soldiers into the mix.

[Don Corleone]

We used to clean ‘em up with a GI Brush and Lava soap. They rarely came back for a second helping.

[Cyber Liberty]

Talk about “Cognitive Dissonance.”

[divine_moment_of_facts]

“Report of the Comprehensive Review of the Issues Associated with a Repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’” --that permitting heterosexuals to use separate showers, bathrooms and bunking facilities from homosexuals of the same gender would “stigmatize” homosexuals and be “reminiscent of ‘separate but equal’ facilities for blacks prior to the 1960s.”

What a crock! Are women stigmatized when they have to shower and sleep separate from men? People are segregated by sex every freakin' day.. It's Nothing like racial segregation blacks went through!

[Cyman]

Bet Bawney wants to join . He would put in for shower attendant and soap picker upper.
