September 5, 2003 -- REP. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) doesn't like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," but his boyfriend does. Frank, the only openly gay member of Congress, ran in 1976 with the slogan, "Neatness Isn't Everything." But he finds "Queer Eye" offensive. "It doesn't have to do with effeminacy, it has to do with superficiality," Frank told The New York Observer. "The notion that gay men have a superior fashion sense is not true, and it's damaging . . . It's perfectly possible to enjoy that show and say, 'Look at those clever homosexuals - what they do with hair!' And not support gays at all." But Frank's friend, Sergio Pombo, told The Hill he likes the makeover show. "Barney has a right to his own opinion," said Pombo, who admitted the chronically disheveled lawmaker sometimes needs style tips. "He's not a slob. Fashion just isn't his main interest. But when I think he needs some advice, I give it to him."

Franks is correct about the idea gays have better eyes for style. Have you seen the ties he wears?

JESUS DEFINES MARRIAGE: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." -from THE BIBLE: Matthew 19:4-6

If Bawney Fwank was not openly gay, he would've just opened himself up to being branded a homophobe.
