barney frank

Barney was a morally courages person because he discussed gay rights to the government. He also pointed out that 'President Bush embraced anti-gay marriage not to gain votes, but to avoid losing them.' He stood up for those who could not get through to the government and described what life was as a gay man. He showed to the government that even though you are gay, you are just as equal to everyone else. Some people still believe that it is wrong to like someone of the same sex as you, and that's ok because we have the right to believe and do as we like. He has been an important person to our government because he let people in on how it was as a gay man and that was important. Not only to show to others that they could do it themselves, but to show that there might be people who wont like them, but it does not matter as long as you love yourself for who you are and not to judge yourself looking through someone else's eyes. We all need reminders at times so we don't judge a book by it's cover, a phrase that is used often. Many people look at someone gay and decide they aren't the same as themselves. Barney frank showed that it was in fact not true that all gay are the same.
