Barney Frank Claims 'Radical Homosexual Agenda'

Now that there's bipartisan support for 'gay rights' in D.C., Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) has 'come out of the closet' to proclaim that there's always been a 'radical homosexual agenda' and that the next two battles are the destruction of marriage (repeal DOMA) and the end of religious liberty (ENDA).



-- From "Rep. Barney Frank admits to pushing a radical homosexual agenda" by Eric Ross, San Francisco LGBT Issues Examiner 12/22/10

Rep. Barney Frank gave a speech where he discusses the radical homosexual agenda. He has often been accused of pushing this radical agenda and he wanted to clarify things to the American people. According to Rep. Frank, the radical homosexual agenda consists of the following:
•To be protected against violent crimes driven by bigotry [so-called Hate Crimes]

•To be able to get married [repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)]

•To be able to get a job [Employment Non-discrimination Act (ENDA) - Ends religious liberty]

•To be able to fight for our country [repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"]

From "For Him, It’s Personal" by Andrew Phelps, WBUR NPR radio (Boston) 12/22/10

On Tuesday, at a enrollment ceremony for the “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal, Frank declared progress:

“Four years ago, a Republican running for Congress in Indiana said, don’t vote for his Democratic opponent because if he won, Nancy Pelosi would become speaker and she would let me enact the radical homosexual agenda,” he said.

“So, let me own up to that agenda. It’s to be protected against violent crimes driven by bigotry. It’s to be able to get married. It’s to be able to get a job and it’s to be able to fight for our country. Hey, for those who are worried about the radical homosexual agenda, let me put them on notice — two down, two to go.”

Rep. Barney Frank: Showering with Homosexuals

Congressman Barney Frank (D.-Mass.) says that homosexuals and heterosexuals are showering together all across America, every day, and . . . "says he agrees with the recommendation of a Department of Defense (DOD) working group that straight and gay military personnel of the same gender should be required to shower together when the repeal of the 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell' law goes into effect."

UPDATE 12/22/10: Barney Frank Claims 'Radical Homosexual Agenda'


-- From "Barney Frank: Straight and Gay Soldiers Must Shower Together, But Not Men and Women" by Nicholas Ballasy, CNSNews.com 12/21/10

Frank, however, said Armed Forces personnel of opposite sexes should not shower together.

“What do you think happens in gyms all over America? What do you think happens in the House of Representatives? Of course people shower with homosexuals. What a silly issue. What do you think goes wrong with showering with homosexuals? Do you think the spray makes it catching? I mean people shower with homosexuals in college dormitories, in gyms where people play sports; in gyms elsewhere. It is a complete non-issue.” Frank told CNSNews.com.

Frank was also asked if he thinks male and female military personnel should be able to shower together.

“No that would disrupt people,” he said.

From "Beyond 'don't ask, don't tell': How is military planning to make it work?" by Anna Mulrine, Staff writer, Christian Science Monitor 12/20/10

In the months ahead, the military will be grappling with questions like whether there should be separate bathroom facilities for homosexual soldiers, for example, and whether same-sex partners will have the right to the same benefits that heterosexual spouses do.

The matter of same-sex bathrooms is far more straightforward, according to the recommendations of the military leaders who headed up the Pentagon’s recent study on attitudes towards gay troops serving openly in the military. “In the course of our review, we heard from a very large number of service members about their discomfort with sharing bathroom facilities or living quarters with those they know to be gay or lesbian,” the report’s authors conceded. “Some went so far to suggest that a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell may even require separate bathroom and shower facilities for gay men and lesbians.”

The task force study’s leaders, Gen. Carter Ham and Jeh Johnson, the Pentagon’s top lawyer, agreed on their response to this particular request – that separate bathroom facilities “would do more harm than good” and would be impractical to enforce. “The creation of a third and possibly fourth category of bathroom facilities and living quarters, whether at bases or forward deployed areas, would be a logistical nightmare, expensive, and impossible to administer,” they wrote.

Obama Moving Gay Agenda at U.N.

The Obama administration, with only 14 congressmen (led by Rep. Barney Frank), are opposing Egypt and pushing the U.N. Economic and Social Council to accredit the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.

UPDATE 7/19/10: U.N. ECOSOC accredited the "consultative status" of the homosexual advocacy NGO

-- From "US pushing UN status for gay rights group" by Edith M. Lederer, Associated Press 7/16/10

The U.S.-based organization, which has offices in South Africa, Argentina and the Philippines, has been trying since 2007 to get consultative status with the council, which serves as the main U.N. forum for discussing international economic and social issues.

The organization, the U.S. government and the members of Congress believe the group's application has not been approved because it promotes gay rights.

The council, known as ECOSOC, is currently holding its high-level meeting at U.N. headquarters and the United States decided to seek approval directly from its membership.

A U.S. draft resolution circulated Friday would have ECOSOC grant the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission consultative status.

From "U.S. Attacks Egypt Over Homosexual Rights at UN" by Susan Yoshihara, Ph.D., Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute 7/8/10

At the United Nations (UN) last month, several U.S. representatives attacked Egypt for asking for further investigation into a homosexual advocacy organization which has applied for special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council. These attacks culminated in a sharp rebuke delivered last week by U.S. ambassador Susan Rice. The actions seem to contravene President Obama’s strategy of engaging Egypt and other Muslim societies in key foreign policy aims such as Middle East peace.

Ambassador Rice then announced, “The United States Mission to the UN is, among other efforts, working to reverse an attempt by some members of the NGO [Non-Governmental Organization] Committee of the Economic and Social Council to deny UN consultative status to the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.” The U.S. is planning to circumvent Egypt and the committee by bringing the matter to a vote at the upcoming ECOSOC meeting.

Rice used the occasion of the Obama administration’s celebration of “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month” to make the announcement. Rice further asserted that, “In some nations, sexual orientation is considered a crime, and punished with unspeakable violence and humiliation.” However, “sexual orientation” is generally not criminalized, and Rice did not refer to specific cases. Homosexual sex or “sodomy” is banned in nearly half of all UN member states.

ENDA bill: Libs Shaky Pushing Drag Queens

Recent conservative swing in polls gives caution to Democrats on Gay Agenda ENDA legislation.

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) consoles fellow liberals worried about supporting a bill that permits any man in a dress to use the ladies room: "People aren't going to be disrobing" in the bathroom in front of colleagues, Frank said.

-- From "Frank battles for transgender workers’ rights" by Jeremy Herb, Boston Globe Correspondent 5/14/10

Representative Barney Frank has vowed to keep transgender rights in his bill to protect gays and lesbians in the workplace, despite opposition from some key moderates that could derail the proposal.

For decades, the Newton Democrat has led congressional efforts to help gay workers, and three years ago he similarly included transgender rights in the Employment Nondiscrimination Act. But he wound up removing that provision in order to get the legislation passed in the House, a move that divided the gay rights community. That bill died in the Senate.

Now Frank says he will keep transgender rights in the current bill, and gay rights activists appear united in support.

. . . Democrats have expressed concerns about voting on the transgender provision with the midterm elections approaching.

. . . Opponents deride laws that include transgender rights as "bathroom bills," over concerns about males who identify as a female demanding the right to use the women’s bathroom.

From "Top backers of gay/transgender nondiscrimination bill push for a vote" by Mary Ann Akers, Washington Post Staff Writer 5/15/10

As the Obama administration reviews whether to discard the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, House Democratic leaders are quietly pushing another sensitive issue in the culture wars: civil rights for transgender workers.

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), one of three openly gay House members, is the lead sponsor of the bill, which would provide federal job protections based on sexual orientation and sexual identity. Frank, his co-sponsors and gay rights activists have been wooing members of the so-called Blue Dog Coalition -- a group of moderate and conservative Democrats -- as well as socially liberal Republicans who voted for a 2007 bill limited to sexual orientation.

ENDA: Next Obamanation of Gay Agenda

Homosexual congressmen Barney Frank (D-Mass.) & Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) are promising that the next Pelosi ram-jam legislation will be the Employment Non-Discrimination Act -- the 'pièce de résistance' of the Gay Agenda.

ENDA would equate sexual deviancy rights to civil rights, thus requiring, for example, Christian schools to hire cross-dressing men.

UPDATE 4/22/10: “What ENDA could do is put transgender teachers in every classroom in America.”

-- From "ENDA Vote Coming Soon" by Chris Geidner, Metro Weekly 4/18/10

Legislation aimed at ending employment discrimination against LGBT people
will be marked up in committee "this week or next," according to Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.). [bill HR 3017]

Frank, speaking to Metro Weekly after his appearance at the Victory Fund's annual Champagne Brunch, said the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) – currently in the House Education and Labor Committee – has been "promised" a quick vote in the full House by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) once the bill leaves committee.

In the past month, Frank has been speaking with increased confidence and specificity about House passage of ENDA. The legislation, which has been introduced in different forms in Congress since 1994, would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity for employers with 15 or more employees.

To read the entire article above, CLICK HERE.

From "Barney And Barack's Anti-Religion Agenda" by J. Matt Barber, of Liberty Counsel posted at The Washington Times 4/18/10

According to its leftist proponents, ENDA would merely insulate people who choose to engage in homosexual conduct (sexual orientation) or those who suffer from gender confusion (gender identity) against employment intolerance. In truth, however, this legislation effectively would codify the very thing it purports to combat: workplace discrimination.

ENDA would force - under penalty of law - Christian, Jewish or Muslim business owners to adopt a secular-humanist viewpoint, ignoring all matters surrounding sexual morality while making hiring and firing decisions. Unlike race or sex, homosexual and cross-dressing behaviors are both volitional and mutable. Nonetheless, and despite the reality that such conduct is in direct conflict with every major world religion, thousands of years of history and uncompromising human biology, ENDA would compel business owners with 15 or more employees to leave sincerely held religious beliefs at the workplace door and submit to the demands of the homosexual activist lobby.

This is government-sanctioned viewpoint discrimination. It is no different from forcing a deeply religious business owner to hire and accommodate an "out and proud" adulterous "swinger." It directly alienates the unalienable rights of people of faith. It pits the government directly against the free exercise of religion and is, therefore, unconstitutional on its face.

During his second term, President George W. Bush issued a Statement of Administration Policy on ENDA, highlighting its unconstitutionality: "[ENDA] is inconsistent with the right to the free exercise of religion as codified by Congress in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA)."

President Obama, however, has publicly endorsed the bill and promises to sign it into law should it pass. This is in perfect keeping with his demonstrated belief that the federal government's constitutionally limited powers are more of a suggestion than a requirement. Mr. Obama has appointed at least one like-minded ENDA heavy. Chai R. Feldblum is a lesbian activist and sexual nihilist lawyer who in the past has publicly supported legalized polygamy and bisexual polyamory.

When asked about the Christian business owner or religious organization that morally objects to hiring people openly engaged in the homosexual lifestyle, Ms. Feldblum snapped: "Gays win, Christians lose." And where Americans' constitutionally guaranteed right to religious liberty comes into conflict with the postmodern concept of homosexual "rights," Ms. Feldblum has admitted having "a hard time coming up with any case in which religious liberty should win."

ENDA: Congress Advances Gay Agenda in Workplace

Hearings in the house began today on H.R. 3017 (Employment Non-discrimination Act) with nearly 200 co-sponsors (six Republicans -- including Illinois Reps. Judy Biggert and Mark Kirk).

The liberals want to sneak this past the public, and so compliantly, the mainstream media is remaining silent.

UPDATE 9/28/09: Video of the House hearings (click to view playlist)

-- From "Homosexual Rights Supporters Seek Anti-Bias Bill" by Sam Hananel, Associated Press 9/23/09

Two openly gay members of Congress on Wednesday urged their colleagues to pass a sweeping job discrimination bill that would - for the first time - protect gays and transsexuals from workplace bias.

The testimony from Reps. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., comes as supporters of the measure believe Congress is closer than ever to banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Opponents complain some of the bill's language is too murky. It offers protection based on "perceived" sexual orientation and for workers who have "undergone" or are "undergoing" gender transition without defining those terms.

The House passed a similar bill two years ago - without protections for transgender workers - but it stalled in the Senate and faced the possibility of a veto from President George W. Bush. This time, President Barack Obama supports the bill.

From "House Committee Hears Arguments for Special Rights" by Stuart Shepard, Citizenlink.com Digital Media Director (Focus on the Family) 9/23/09

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) would bar employers from making decisions based on the "actual or perceived" sexual orientation or gender identity of employees or job applicants.

Stuart Ishimaru, acting chairman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, testified before the House Education and Labor Committee today.

Only one conservative voice was allowed on the panel: Craig Parshall, senior vice president and general counsel of National Religious Broadcasters.

"ENDA, if passed into law would impose a substantial and crippling burden on religious organizations," he said. "In the cases I reviewed recently where there's a clash between homosexual rights -- sexual orientation being protected under discrimination laws on one hand and Christian religious liberties on the other -- Christian liberties lose and the homosexual rights win."

Same-sex 'Marriage' Renegades Defy Congressional Leadership

Scores of liberal congressmen join Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) introducing legislation to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), in defiance of homosexual Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, who both prefer subtle legislative maneuvers to destroy marriage with less public notice.

UPDATE 9/19/09: Obama favors repeal of DOMA as well

-- From "Legislators seek repeal of federal marriage law" by Carolyn Lochhead, San Francisco Chronicle Washington Bureau 9/16/09

The 1996 Defense of Marriage Act denies federal marriage benefits to [homosexual] couples, including Social Security, estate and other tax laws and spousal immigration rights.

The repeal, called the Respect for Marriage Act [H.R.3567], would affect 18,000 same-sex couples married in California last year before voters approved Proposition 8, which overrode a state Supreme Court decision granting them marriage rights.

The Respect for Marriage Act would allow all legally married same-sex couples access to what advocates say are more than 1,000 marital benefits under federal law.

The law was passed during an election year when Clinton and many Democrats in Congress feared a voter backlash. Clinton issued a statement Tuesday saying, "the fabric of our country has changed, and so should this policy."

President Obama has said he would sign a law repealing the act, but many activists have been disappointed that he has not moved to revoke the "don't ask, don't tell" ban on gays in the military, allowing gays and lesbians to be dismissed on his watch.

Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa and Vermont now marry same-sex couples, and New Hampshire will begin doing so in January. Voters in Maine will decide in November whether to allow same-sex marriage there.

ENDA: Liberals' Hope to Regenerate Base

With polls showing President Obama's approval dropping among all Americans, and a liberal mutiny over the jettison of single-payer health care, Democrats turn to pro-homosexual legislation being led by Rep. Barney Frank and his transgender staffer.

Photo: Female-to-male transsexual, Diego Sanchez, senior congressional staff

-- From "New impetus for bill banning anti-gay bias at work" by David Crary, Associated Press 8/27/09

Momentum is building for Congress to pass the first major civil rights act protecting gays and transsexuals, supporters say, and one of the stars in the debate is a barrier-breaking transgender staffer on Capitol Hill.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, would prohibit workplace discrimination — including decisions about hiring, firing and wages — based on sexual orientation or gender identity. It would exempt religious organizations, the military and businesses with less than 15 workers. [The religious exemption is purposely very narrow; click here to read details.]

[Unlike the failure of ENDA in 2007] This time around, several factors have changed:

* Barack Obama is now president, and is on record supporting ENDA. A veto was considered possible if the 2007 bill had reached then-President George W. Bush.

* The bill has picked up key support in the Senate, where it was introduced earlier this month by Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley and Maine Republicans Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. Even without other GOP senators, Merkley believes it has a good chance of obtaining the 60 votes that likely will be needed to pass the Senate.

The main Senate champion of ENDA in the past had been Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, who died [recently]. That role was passed on to Merkley earlier this year.To read the entire article, CLICK HERE.

Senate Signs on to Gay Agenda ENDA

While no one was watching (all eyes have been on the health care debacle), a large share of the Senate has co-sponsored the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, assuring infiltration of Christian schools by cross-dressers and every kind of sexual deviant.
There has not been a single media story on this Senate action!

UPDATE 8/27/09: Associated Press pushes ENDA (first mainstream media story)

-- From "Fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act introduced in the Senate"posted at CCH 8/12/09

A bipartisan bill (S. 1584) that would provide employment discrimination protections to individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity was introduced in the Senate on August 5, 2009. Called the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), the bill would extend federal employment laws, which currently prevent employment discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, national origin, age and disability, to also cover sexual orientation and gender identity. The lead sponsors of the measure are Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Susan Collins (R-ME). They were joined in the August 5, 2009, introduction of the bill by 34 other members of the Senate. This is the first time that a transgender-inclusive version of the bill has been introduced in the Senate. The House introduced an inclusive version of ENDA in June 2009 (see ¶69,212D).

ENDA would prohibit employers, employment agencies, labor organizations and joint labor-management committees from firing, refusing to hire, or discriminating against those employed or seeking employment, on the basis of their perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity.

Senate to Pass Hate Crimes as Amendment to Defense Bill

In an effort to end Christian witness in America, homosexual advocates in the Senate connive to attach the hate crimes legislation (having already passed in the House as a standalone bill) to troop funding, expected to pass in mid-July.

-- From "Hate crimes measure to ride on defense bill" by Chris Johnson, Washington Blade 7/3/09

David Smith, HRC’s vice president of programs, said in a June 26 statement to the Blade that the Senate would probably pass the bill in this way.

“The [Department of Defense] authorization bill as well as other vehicles have been under consideration since House passage earlier this year,” he said. “Between now and the August recess, DOD appears to be the most likely candidate for hate crimes.”

A senior Senate Democratic aide confirmed that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid intended to pass hate crimes legislation as an amendment to the fiscal year 2010 defense authorization bill.

[In contrast,] A standalone bill submitted to the Senate floor would be vulnerable to dangerous amendments, such as a measure that would ban same-sex marriage in D.C., the he said. [Read about, and view last week's Senate hearings on the bill by clicking here.]

Smith said a vote on the defense bill is tentatively scheduled in the Senate by mid July, but added that “as with any Senate scheduled bill, that could change.”

Upon hearing of the Senate’s plan, gay Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said he’s “disappointed” the Senate settled on this method of passage. But he added “we could still be all right” because the House passed its version of the defense bill with a bigger margin than he expected.

The Senate aide noted that Reid had pledged to pass hate crime legislation by August recess and said the defense bill is the only option as a vehicle before that time.

VP Biden Assures Homosexualists of Obama's Gay Agenda

Biden drew repeated standing ovations . . . as he pledged the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act and Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the passage of the Lieberman-Baldwin bill on health benefits, a ban on workplace discrimination [ENDA], adoption rights for all and an end to the HIV travel ban.

-- From "Joe Biden reaches out to gay community" by Carol E. Lee, Politico 6/26/09

Vice President Joe Biden told gay and lesbian Democrats that he doesn't blame them for their impatience and promised that the Obama administration will begin to push more strongly on the issues they care about, including the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Speaking at a LGBT fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee, Biden acknowledged the anger many gays and lesbians have toward the White House, and he pledged to "put some pace on the ball."

Outside the hotel about 50 protesters held up signs chastising participants — which included all three gay members of Congress, Reps. Tammy Baldwin, Barney Frank and Jared Polis — with sayings such as "Gay Uncle Toms."

Obama & Barney Frank Team up on Gay Agenda ENDA

IT'S BACK! Remember the pro-homosexual Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) that passed the House in 2007? Now with Dems in full-throttle Gay Agenda mode, it's reported that the reintroduced bill will be expanded to cover transgenderism and more!
ENDA means there's no escape for ANY children from indoctrination of the Gay Agenda -- not even in your Christian school.

UPDATE 6/14/12: Obama, Senate Continue to Push Transgender Privilege - ENDA



-- From "Trans-inclusive ENDA to be introduced in House" by, Lou Chibbaro Jr., Washington Blade 6/19/09

An aide to U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said [June 17th] that the congressman plans to introduce a revised version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act next week that will include protections for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

Diego Sanchez, who is transgender and a senior policy adviser to Frank, said the bill has been changed from the so-called “gay-only” version [HR 3685] that the House passed in 2007 to include language banning job discrimination based on gender identity as well as sexual orientation.

Sanchez said that . . . the bill had eight House co-sponsors, including four Democrats and four Republicans. Among the sponsors were gay House members Frank, Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), and Jared Polis (D-Colo.). The lead Republican sponsor is Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.).

In an interview with the Blade on Tuesday, Frank said he believes prospects for passing a trans-inclusive ENDA have improved significantly since 2007, when he and other House Democratic leaders said the measure would be defeated if a gender identity clause were kept in the bill.

Over the strong objections of transgender activists and many gay advocacy groups, House Democratic leaders dropped the transgender provision from the bill in September 2007. The House went on to pass it the following month, but the measure died when the Senate took no action on it.

From "While Defending It in Court, White House Vows to Repeal Defense of Marriage Act" by Dan Gilgoff, U.S. News & World Report 6/15/09
Here's what John Berry, Obama's director of the Office of Personnel Management, told the Advocate, a gay publication, on Sunday [June 14th]:

We have four broad legislative goals that we want to accomplish and legislation is one of these things where you've got to move when the opportunity strikes, so I'm going to list them in an order but it's not necessarily going to go one, two, three, four. Obviously, I think the first opportunity is hate crimes and we're hopeful that we can get that passed this week. We're going to try, but if not, we're going to keep at it until we get it passed. The second one [is] ENDA [the Employment Nondiscrimination Act], we want to secure that passage of ENDA, and third is we want to repeal legislatively "don't ask don't tell," and fourth, we want to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.

Now, I'm not going to pledge—and nor is the president—that this is going to be done by some certain date. The pledge and the promise is that, this will be done before the sun sets on this administration—our goal is to have this entire agenda accomplished and enacted into law so that it is secure.

Congressman Barney Frank Calls Supreme Court Justice Scalia a Homophobe

In this video interview, Barney Frank discusses his optimism of the Obama administration and Democrat Congress accomplishing the Gay Agenda.
