Barney Frank Blasts Libyan Diplomat's Anti-Gay Remarks



Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank on Wednesday blasted a Libyan diplomat's anti-gay remarks.

Frank, the nation's most powerful openly gay elected official, called United Nations President Ali Abdussalam Treki's anti-gay remarks “bigoted.”

“This is par for the course for a Libyan official – offensive, stupid and bigoted,” Frank told On Top Magazine in an email.

In a press conference to open the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Treki said a UN resolution that calls for the universal decriminalization of being gay was “not acceptable.”


From On Top magazine.

2. And why is it always Barney Frank?
Where are the other members of Congress? Seriously. This is a no-brainer to criticize, but they don't even have enough spine to do that.
