Barney Frank talks same-sex marriage at Democratic National Convention
U.S. Representative Barney Frank spoke last night to the Democratic National Convention and mentioned for the first time during the week the topic of same-sex marriage. Frank talked about the actual gay agenda which seeks marriage rights, inclusion in the military and equal access to jobs, homes, and schools. Frank was one of six openly gay convention speakers, including Rep. Tammy Baldwin, the first to be given a prime-time speaker slot during a Democratic convention. Although some gay-rights activists disagree strongly with Kerry's refusal to back same-sex marriages, Frank said he was willing to put differences aside in order to beat President Bush this fall.
