Conservative and pro-family groups spoke of an outrage Friday after a coalition of Republican and Democratic lawmakers joined to create the House’s first Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Caucus.
Democrats Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin – the only openly gay members of Congress – were key backers of the new caucus and were successful in gathering bipartisan support for the new initiative.
Altogether, 52 House representatives signed on as members of the new caucus, including two Republicans.
House members and supporters of the new measure were optimistic of their future plans and what they said was their mission “to achieve the extension of equal rights” for all regardless of “sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.”
“With a Democratic majority in the House, we now have both the opportunity and the responsibility to move towards legal equality for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. This caucus will play an important role in helping shape the strategy by which we do this,” said Congressman Barney Frank in a statement.

Makes me want to puke. Congress is a pig pen of liberalism. Totally useless to anyone but queers and communists.
Uh, they might *like* that, you know...
Oooops...:-)
Where is my “bald middle aged straight white guy” caucus?
I demand a congressional caucus be formed to support our interests!
They’re discriminating against ex-gays.
Just like the black caucus discriminates against non-blacks who have majority black districts.
Exactly, I was wondering the same thing.. we need at caucus for straight people.. I am sure a democrat will start one..
You have to love the irony of our elected representatives deliberately segregating themselves off into cliques based on racial and sexual orientated identities.
No kidding, talk about the party of divisiveness!
Congress spends its time pandering to the perverts and molestors of children while Rome burns. Your tax dollars at work.
Wish we knew who the members are, especially the republicans.
Beyond cochairs Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Frank (D-Mass.), members of the new caucus include these representatives: Rob Andrews (D-N.J.), Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), Lois Capps (D-Calif.), Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Mike Honda (D-Calif.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), James McGovern (D-Mass.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Hilda Solis (D-Calif.), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Howard Berman (D-Calif.), Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), Robert Brady (D-Pa.), Michael Capuano (D-Mass.), Susan Davis (D-Calif.), Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), Phil Hare (D-Ill.), Rush Holt (D-N.J.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), James Moran (D-Va.), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-Washington, D.C.), Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), Steven Rothman (D-N.J.), José Serrano (D-N.Y.), Chris Shays (R-Conn.), Pete Stark (D-Calif.), Betty Sutton (D-Ohio), Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.), Niki Tsongas (D-Mass.), Robert Wexler (D-Fla.), Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.).

Wouldn't the nation be better off without Congress? They just don't have enough to do and spend entirely too much time in Washington.
There's just altogether too much reaching across the aisles to grope the opposition.
Next thing you know they'll be tap dancing in the lavatories.

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, I don’t know about but Chris Shays sound about right.

Mike Honda (D-Calif.),
An appropriate name to say the least. Always ridden, has low emissions because the exhaust is always plugged and perhaps a hybrid that goes both ways is an added attraction.
It would help the Republicans if they would simply grow a spine and run on the platform of representing all Americans, and therefor not needing caucauses.
Have you looked at pictures of our congress members lately? That describes just about 80% of them.

Ileana Ros has South Miami Beach and Key West in her district, where there are large populations of (wealthy) homosexuals. The only town gayer than those two areas is Wilton Manors, which has an all-gay city council and is in Alcee Hastings district.
How about the PEDOPHILE CAUCUS????? HOW ABOUT THE BEASTIALITY CAUCUS??? HOW ABOUT THE SWINGER CAUCUS????
Chris Shays.....what a SURPRISE!!! /sarc
Keep your powder dry. It's coming.

I don’t see a single Southerner in that list.
I see 2, Fl & Va.
But you're right, mainly blue state radicals!
I hope the voters remember come their re-election time!
Ileana’s a Main Street Garbage “republican”. She shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this.
I suppose those are *marginal* Southerners. :p
