From hospice, Barney Frank urges Democrats to rethink trans rights approach
"I've felt better. On the other hand, I anticipate feeling worse. After 86 years, my heart's just wearing out."
"We didn't get to marriage until after these other things had been resolved. And that's what I'm suggesting that we do today."
"In the interest of the transgender community, as well as others, it could be better to go at that in a more granular way."
"Even when he agrees with those goals, Frank said, strategy matters."
Barney Frank, facing end-stage heart failure, reflects on his life and critiques the Democratic Party's approach to economic inequality and social change. He believes mainstream Democrats have been slow to address economic issues, while progressives have pushed for rapid social changes that may not align with public readiness. Frank emphasizes the importance of strategy in advocacy, suggesting that discussions around transgender issues should be approached more thoughtfully to foster understanding rather than division.
