T he Texas Republican referred to Frank as
“ Barney Fag" in a 1995 radio interview.
Armey later claimed it wits nothing more
than a verbal “stumble,” saying, “ 1 don’t use the
word in personal conversation [and| I would not
use such an expression.” Frank responded by say­
ing that, having recently spoken to his mother,
he could confirm with some confidence that in
her 50-plus years as Mrs. Frank, no one had ever
“stumbled" and addressed her as “Mrs. Fag."
Next month’s event will raise money to re­
elect U.S. Rep. Darlene I looley, D-Ore., who
received a perfect score from the Human Rights
Gimpaign for her voting record during the last ses­
sion of Congress. However, she is the only Demo­
cratic member of Oregon’s delegation who has not
signed on as a co-sponsor of the Permanent Part­
ners Immigration Act, which would allow gay and
lesbian citizens or pennanent residents to petition
for their same-sex partners to immigrate.

emocratic presidential candi­
date Howard Dean spoke out
against the anti-gay Federal Mar­
riage Amendment during a fund­
raiser Nov. 11 at Montgomery Park.
Just Out asked the fonner Vennont
governor, who signed the state’s land­
mark civil unions legislation in 2000,
about the increasing likelihood that
the White House will endorse the
amendment, which would define mar­
riage as between a man and a woman.
Dean’s short-hut-sweet response: “We
don’t support cluttering up the Consti­
tution with things that take away peo­
ple’s civil rights."
He also slammed President Bush
for embracing U.S. Sen. Rick Santo-
rum, R-Pa., who in April likened
homosexuality to polygamy, incest Howard Dean (center) locks hands Nov. 11 with his Oregon campaign co-chairs (from left) Matt Hennessee,
