" 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."

With friends like Barney, who needs enemies?

Never has, as far as I know.

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

Why does everyone keep forgetting to put the L after the B in his name?
