The issue as I see it is not whether someones sexual proclivities are as some people can be closeted all their lives as was J.Edgar Hoover.... However, it is more how they use these tendencies. B.Frank is in a one on one relationship. He does not go after young boys. The difference here is that Foley abused his position and he did not seek professional help but acted out on his proclivity and with young men.. who would certainly respond to him as Foley is the person in power. You have to realize that there is a power thing here. When working year before you were born I was in a world where there was no such thing as sexual harassment and I was harassed. I had no alternative at that time. My bosses were powerful people... and I wanted my job. It was difficult to fend off the passes.... A Congressmen coming on to some young man is rather flattering don't you think... He should have exercised better judgment imo.
