Reply #60: Barney Frank thought my friend and I were a gay couple -

[phillysuse]

A heterosexual married female friend and I went to a Democratic party fundraiser in 2008 which was held in Center City Philly and Barney Frank was the invited special guest. We went because we are both very politically active and were in Joe Sestak's Congressional campaigns. Her husband works out of town and is not particularly politically active and neither is mine. So we went to this fundraiser together which was in the Gaborhood in Philly. I had wanted to go meet Barney Frank because he had been my Congressman when I lived in Brookline Massachusetts in the 80's.

Anyway, basically almost everyone at the fundraiser was gay and Barney and the host assumed we were a couple. We didn't mind but we weren't and aren't. It was pretty funny trying to explain that we weren't a couple.
