Representative Frank has been out of the closet for a long, long time.
It is the conservatives who keep getting outed.

It's not the point. One does not need to be Republican or Democrat to
be gay, bi, straight and/or any other thing.

Plus, that Republican will lose his seat over this.

Can you say the same for Studds and Frank?

No...

Public immorality is different for you folks on the left - Republicans
pay the price, Democrats don't.

Unfortunate, but true.

Why should Barney Frank lose his seat for being gay?

He should have lost his seat for allowing a gay prostitution ring to
operate out of his apartment. He says he didn't "know"? Ok.

Would it have been any different if he was straight and ran a
prostitution ring out of his apartment?

Has nothing to do with being gay.

It's interesting when a Republican is outed because Republicans make
such an issue of what they believe to be "morality."

True - and they are held accountable for their lapses.
