Barney Frank Says Now Is Not the Time
       When asked by the Washington Post this week about the marriage excitement in San Francisco, Barney Frank replied, “Now is not the time to be pushing this issue.” The Post continued: “In his more generous mode, he'd call the whole West Coast love-in a ‘well-intentioned mistake.’” They quoted Frank as saying its only result was increasing support for President Bush's proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
