On a light hearted note - - boyfriend didn't believe him - --

It's a time-worn president's trick: walk up to a congressman chatting on the phone and send your regards to the astonished person on the other end of the line, charming the listener with your regular-guy credentials.

That's what President Bush did Monday night at the State of the Union address, when he approached Newton Democrat Barney Frank, who was talking on his cell phone in the House Speaker's lobby before Bush's speech.

What Bush didn't know was that the congressman was talking to his boyfriend.

"Tell him I said, 'Hello,' '' Bush said to Frank, leaning in to pat the congressman' s shoulder. As Bush continued into the House chamber, Frank told his skeptical boyfriend that it had been the conservative Republican president sending his good wishes. Frank's boyfriend didn't believe him, so the Massachusetts lawmaker put one of the sergeants-at- arms on the phone to back up his story.

After the speech, Frank said, he felt he had to tell Bush what he had done. After all, the president opposes gay marriage, and gay rights groups do not see the president as an ally.

Frank sought out the president, who put his hand on the back of the congressman' s head to hear him more clearly in the noisy, crowded room.

"Mr. President, by the way, the person I was talking to when you said to say hello was my boyfriend,'' Frank said he told the commander-in- chief.

"Well. I hope you said how open-minded I am,'' Frank said the president replied.

"I considered telling [the president] I wouldn't marry him,'' Frank said, "but then I thought, 'Nah.' ''

Lest we forget - " - - Over 65,000 homosexuals were interred or murdered

"We know Jews were the primary victims of the racism experienced during this horrendous period, but homosexuals were also targeted along with Roma gypsies and disabled people.

Event to remember gay suffering
A special ceremony took place at Liverpool's St John's Gardens in memory of the thousands of homosexuals who suffered at the hands of the Nazis. It was described as an opportunity to remember all those who died.

It was part of the events to leading up to National Holocaust Memorial Day being held in the city on Sunday.

A pink wreath in the shape of a triangle, the badge that gay men were forced to wear, was laid prior to a two-minute silence.

Over 65,000 homosexuals were interred or murdered between 1934 and 1945.

The wreath was laid by representatives from the Homotopia festival, Armistead, a sexual health service for gay and bisexual men, Lambda Centre Warsaw and Merseyside Police Anti-Hate Crime Unit.

Homosexuals 'targeted'

Director of the Homotopia festival, Gary Everett, who has organised the wreath-laying event said: "The Holocaust was one of the most horrific and evil chapters in modern history.

"It is of continuing importance that we not only remember the many lives lost but always be vigilant that something of this magnitude never happens again."

Liverpool's Lord Mayor, Councillor Paul Clark, said: "Holocaust Memorial Day gives us all the opportunity to remember those groups who were persecuted during the Holocaust.

"We know Jews were the primary victims of the racism experienced during this horrendous period, but homosexuals were also targeted along with Roma gypsies and disabled people.

"All the events running up to Sunday's main commemorative event play a pivotal role in educating people of all ages about the atrocities experienced during the Holocaust and more recent genocides."
