You would think that Barney Frank of all the congresscritters would understand why the family would be so upset about Terri's CIVIL rights being trampled on... Why do I think that if she were GAY, he might have a different opinion---can you say, "hate crime"?

I'm sure there is, or will soon be a case of a dying homosexual, whose family and domestic partner disagree on medical care. Suddenly Barney will want the feds to step in to 'protect the rights of the homosexual partner.' hmmm

hmmm Who was the president of NOW who has a husband and a lesbian lover?

[Theodore R.]

Who was the president of NOW who has a husband and a lesbian lover?

Patricia Ireland of FL, no less! Also those black congressmen like the mean-looking John Lewis would have had a different stance if Terri were black, you can bet your bottom dollar.
