" You're No Friend, Barney
Monica Roberts
'No person is your friend who demands your silence or denies your right to grow.'
That Alice Walker quote is at the heart of this post. I was stunned to learn from a friend of mine that somebody e-mailed him my little Christmas rewrite of Dr. Seuss. The Grinch that Stole Civil Rights for transpeople is allegedly not happy about it, and supposedly retorted that I was insulting the best friend we had in Congress."

Great article! Barney Frank is inclusive so long as he personally benefits. What a jerk!
