Dowd: A Gay Commander in Chief: Ready or Not?I called Barney Frank, assuming the gay pioneer would be optimistic. He wasnt. Its one thing to have a gay person in the abstract, he said. Its another to see that person as part of a living, breathing couple. How would a gay presidential candidate have a celebratory kiss with his partner after winning the New Hampshire primary? The sight of two women kissing has not been as distressful to people as the sight of two men kissing.
Because of the Defense of Marriage Act, he added, its not clear that a gay president could use federal funds to buy his husband dinner. Would his partner have to pay rent in the White House? There would be no Secret Service protection for the paramour.
What a fucking bigot. Why does Frank automatically think of gay men when asked this question?
Because he didn't (equally) include the lesbian-perspective....as if he could....he should be considered a bigot?????
You (obviously) forget. Only "conservatives" are capable of speaking for other-people. It's one o' their "magical" (no doubt, God-given) skills.

I would bet that a lesbian couple would be able to win half the male votes simply by kissing on Prime Time TV.
Aw, c'mon....you sound like someone who'd know....that sophomoric-herd (who'd get excited over a lesbian-couple) is already committed to Sister Sarah.
