Barney Frank on GetEqual's Protests: 'Immature' + 'Tacky'

Never one to hide his feelings about gay rights activists, Rep. Barney Frank isn't mincing words over Get Equal members storming the House Education and Labor Committee. "What a stupid thing to do," he says. Oh, Barns! You're killing us!
By now you should be used to Frank dumping on anything you radical homos do. He called the National Equality March "useless" and encouraged you to stay home.
Always one to advocate Americans call, write, email, text, and tweet their lawmakers instead of trying to drum up headlines and YouTube views, Frank's attitude toward civil disobedience isn't terribly surprising. And from his position, we can see why he's upset, as he believes ENDA will begin making its way through the House in the next two weeks, and playing Interrupting Cow with what might be sympathetic lawmakers is only going to piss them off.
I'd have to agree with Rep. Frank on this one... The outburst was unnecessary and, IMHO, only served to make us look bad to those already sympathetic to our cause.
