WASHINGTON — Rep. Barney Frank sees an “angry, divisive” fight ahead for Massachusetts if a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage reaches the 2008 state ballot.
The congressman accused backers of the initiative petition of trying to provoke a new fight despite a lack of controversy over same-sex marriage.

You most know .... That dog does his share of work ..
"My name has ended up on the 'Knowthyneighbor.org' website. The homosexual activists 'threatened' to publicize the names of all those who signed "
Congratulations on being able to sign it! I was asked to sign the wine petition at a local grocery store but the gay marriage one wasn't there. I'm sure there are alot more people who wanted to sign but just weren't asked.

"Putting your man parts in the out box of another man is a sure way to lower the population of a state."
Hysterical, I think I'll forward that to the Boston Globe. I'm SURE they'll appreciate it.
Right on those people ... want there way .. even if they have to force it down others.. But we are tireded of all their trash , let's show those $%#&^&*#% that we are the real Americans willing to fight for our families ... Go Vote ...
Reading Barney's words is like listening to some master progagandist of communism try to shame any sense of self worth out of anyone else.

I bet this guy has had a lot of time with pscyhologists dealing with why everyone is so wrong and Barney's so well tuned. Counselling failed him and probably whoever counselled him, too.
A nice black lady was in the vestibule of Stop and Shop one afternoon. She had several petitions, and I asked her if she had the one for the Marriage Amendment. Her face lit up and she said "I sure do!" I was sure proud to sign it!
