Comments on: Fallon Attacks Barney Frank As Insufficiently Pro Gay Rights http://iowaprogress.com/2008/04/18/fallon-attacks-barney-frank-as-insufficiently-pro-gay-rights/ Politics in Iowa from a progressive viewpoint.

I clicked on all the links in your diary but couldn't find any statement by Fallon criticizing Boswell for supporting that particular bill. I went to <a href="http://www.orchidforchange.com/fallonforcongress.com/ht/d/sp/i/1164987/pid/1164987" title="the LGBT issues page on Fallon's website" rel="nofollow"> and found a long list of bills on LGBT rights that Boswell has not supported or co-sponsored: Your post is more than a little misleading, as it implies this is the only LGBT issue where there is a distinction between Fallon and Boswell. If you click on the link I have included, you will see that there are quite a few relevant bills Boswell has not supported in the past, including employment non-discrimination bills. Link?

The one Geraldine mentions is not at all the only distinction between the two candidates.
