BARNEY FRANK: Justice Scalia Is a Homophobe
Politico Magazine ^ | June 26, 2015 | Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA)

Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people won two victories in the Supreme Court today. We expected the big one: the fourth in a series of opinions by Justice Anthony Kennedy—one of the last sitting Reagan appointees—vindicating our right to legal equality. The unexpected one was smaller in public impact but also significant: Justice Antonin Scalia’s disclaimer that he is not personally troubled by the fact that we can marry each other. After a series of opinions, speeches and public comments expressing his strong disapproval of us, vigorously defending society’s right to express this attitude in discriminatory public policies, Scalia begins his characteristically vitriolic dissent by protesting that “the substance of today’s decree is not of immense personal importance to me.”

Yeah, right. This strikes me as the least sincere disavowal of homophobia I have encountered since former Majority Leader Dick Armey tried to argue that his reference to me as “Barney Fag” was just a mispronunciation of my last name. What we have here instead marks a tactical shift....

IF I don’t listen to Barney Frank, he isn’t there. So, my dog, Dixie, hears “Blah,blah,blah,blah,” when Barney runs off at the mouth. My cat, Brutus, hears,” “, (nothing) when Barney runs off at the mouth. I’m more like Brutus every day.

Frank’s “friend,” also described as a “former lover,” was a prostitute who Frank had taken into the House gymnasium, in violation of House rules. The prostitute, Stephen Gobie said they had sex in the gym.

While Frank’s role in the financial crisis has been noted by some publications and commentators, the sex scandal that could have forced his resignation or expulsion from Congress was mostly ignored. Frank was reprimanded by the House for using his congressional office to do favors for Gobie. He refused to resign his seat in Congress.

Jonathan Allen of Politico gave the sex scandal a brief mention in a long positive story about Frank’s legacy. He reported, “Frank was reprimanded by the House for ethics violations in 1990 after a sex scandal in which a former lover ran a male-prostitution service out of Frank’s home. The ethics violations stemmed from Frank’s efforts to fix parking tickets and intervene with a parole officer on behalf of his friend.”

In fact, this “friend,” Gobie, was a male prostitute whom Frank initially paid $80 for anal sex, a dangerous form of sexual activity linked to the spread of HIV/AIDs.

Evidence showed that Frank found Gobie through a “hot bottom” ad in the Washington Blade, a homosexual paper. The ad for Gobie’s sexual services said, “Exceptionally good-looking, personable, muscular athlete is available. Hot bottom plus large endowment equals a good time.”

Barney boy, you are a mentally ill individual, totally unqualified to pass judgment upon any other individual.
