Frank Dismisses 'Radical Homosexual Agenda' Charge

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: An openly gay Democratic member of Congress addressed allegations today that he and incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will use the Democrats’ newfound House majority to impose a "radical homosexual agenda" on the country.
"I'm still looking for a way to satisfy that demand," quipped Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) in reference to a 2006 radio ad by recently defeated Rep. John Hostettler (R-Ind.) which warned that a vote for his Democratic opponent would allow San Francisco's Pelosi to "put in motion her radical plan to advance the homosexual agenda, led by Barney Frank."
Frank, who was reprimanded by the House in 1990 for a relationship with a male prostitute, said today that the only items on his gay-rights agenda are laws that would make it possible for gays and lesbians to join the military, get married, and hold down a job.
"It's not the stuff of radicals," said Frank prior to laying out his economic priorities as the incoming chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
