Barney Frank on Houston PBS.

Just saw him on our local liberal/conservative talking head show. Talked mostly about general policy issues, and both hosts treated him, rightly, as just another human being. Things have sure changed for the better.

Not a fan of his comments telling politicians to stay in the closet if they're atheist.

I did not know that.

I can assure him I have no more choice about being an atheist than he does about being gay. I've never ever been religious, and I've officially been an atheist since I discovered the word, at about age seven.
