ACLU Counsel and Gay Rights Champion Found Dead In DC Park
8/30/09-by Paula Brooks
Washington DC police sources are telling Lez Get Real, that a body found Friday in a wooded section of Rock Creek Park is that of ACLU State Legislative Counsel Larry Frankel.
Rock Creek Park is located in Northwest DC.
Police say that a jogger running along a path in the park just south of Beach Drive and north of Massachusetts Ave NW, about 11 a.m. Friday saw something floating in the water that later turned out to be Frankels body.
US Park Police initially responded to the joggers 911 call and were later joined on the scene by investigators from the homicide division of the DC Metro Police.
A Metro DC Police spokesman confirmed this morning that the body was indeed that of Frankel and said that homicide detectives are continuing to investigate his death, but would offer no cause of death or comment further on the case pending official release of autopsy results.
Frankel, 52, had served as both Executive Director and Legislative Director for the ACLU of Pennsylvania for many years before becoming the State Legislative Counsel for the National ACLU here in Washington. Frankel joined the ACLU’s Washington Legislative Office last year and oversaw the support to the 53 ACLU affiliate offices across the country.
Pennsylvania Rep Mark Cohen said on his blog this morning that Frankel was a “proud gay man, he was militant on the issue of gay marriage, believing that it was far more important to keep the legal option of gay marriage by defeating a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage than to enact civil unions legislation, an uphill battle that some, including myself, thought was winnable. His views on gay marriage were somewhat vindicated when four New England states and the state of Iowa legalized gay marriage this year.”

I can envision a scenario where some policy advisor would say ” We’re getting enough pushback against the hate bill by rev. Pike’s crowd to where the prez may have to veto it (along with our appropriations bill). We need a high visibility hate crime to keep the public focused on our agenda. This guy Frankel would let us kill two birds with one stone”. “Yes Sir! Hooah!”
Another dead fag, no doubt trolling for fag butt sex down at the park!! Good riddance and all you fags will be gone soon
You guys are sooo stupid. Your so filled with hate. I bet you were teased once or twice as a little kid.
Homophobes are sick and need help. You need to see a doctor, friend.
I think hate crimes like homophobia should be denounced by all good people. Christianity is about more than hating gay people: or should be!
I would like to see all these homophobes who pen hate sentiments put in prison.
GAYS ARE NOT THE ONES ABORTING LIVE BABIES CREATED FROM SPREADING THEIR LEGS! GAYS ARE NOT CAUSING OVER POPULATION, GLOBAL WARMING AND OVER 30 PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES TO GO INSTINCT EVERY DAY. WHY DON’T YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR?
One by one the Lord will take them all out. Why do you think California is burning.
Because God is mad at you homophobes for voting in Prop 8… that is why it is burning
Yes, I believe God is the justice in the end. But, I live in California and I don’t think that is why this state is burning up. There is homosexuals in every state, if that was the case, this whole country would be burning down. Joe, come on..your first sentence started out good but, than you looked like a idiot with no grounds to stand on in the last one.
Sodomite Indoctrination Now MANDATORY
It is now mandatory with NO options for parents: your child – as young as kindergarten – WILL be taught that the queer life style is acceptable.
Just wait until their son comes home with “Mommy, the teacher said it was okay for me to put my pee pee in Juan’s, you know, where he goes number two, but I have to wait until I’m older.” Or, their daughter comes home and talks about oral sex with another girl at school because she “discovered” she’s “gay.”

There’s always a convenient “hate” crime when there’s opposition to a hate crime bill or when Israel is up to no good.
A homo ACLU lawyer is dead. A win-win for society.
It looks like Larry finally met the wrong “trick”. May he suck C*ck in hell.
All lawyers should die this way…ass pounded then drowned.
Amen Brother..There day is coming..
“Kill’em all, let Satan sort’em out”
The gay governments have declared war on the moral majority. And now they want our children. Curse them to hell.
If you are having a problem with this story… you really need to catch the one we just posted…. onwards Christian soldiers huh…
Seems you “good’ Christians are all about keeping secrets
Their day is on the way.
I am just struck by the absurd notion that anyone in america has
any moral authority to say Gays will die…this will end that will end.
I hate to be the one to inform you gay bashers but your day of grace is gone
Gays aren’t next…we all are.
Idiots, truly a foolish bunch of people.
You actually think being a homophobe NOW, is going to “balance the karma”
of your years of Apathy?
God is just particularly mad at Gays?
he doesn’t hate your other stuff?
What a surprise you who call yourselves “Christians” and witches have coming
The whole country will go
Why not clean up your own house?
Of course not, by focusing on or supporting this or that Agenda
you can pretend that on judgement Day—you don’t have to answer for your actions
and deeds.
Because you hate Gays?
nice try.
Because you love Gays?
nice try.
We are suppossed to love each other.
to reinterate: on judgement day , you will answer for your own self!
god bless him for his personal fight for his passions, but FUCK the aclu.
Paula, it’s not nice to use dirty words to get a point across. Your article was good till you went into the comments and you lost all respect. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Don’t talk childish. Talk as a adult and more like a lady.
Another deviant trolling for gay sex gets killed by his trick. Oh well. One less American-hating ACLU reprobate to worry about.
AIDS is Nature way of cleansing Herself.
All normal healthy human beings are born with an inherit instinct to be shit-phobic. Human evolved to think shit stinks for a reason. The stink warns us to stay away because this stuff is dangerous and deadly.
The label “homophobic” is another term for normal. Evolution teaches us, those societies that did not adapt to develop anti-sodomy tendencies likely perished as the sodomites and their enabler aloud the sodomites to become vectors and incubators for diseases that later mutated and entered then normal population.
All children at an early age display dislike for shit and all people on hearing about sodomy think it disgusting the first time they hear about it. That is why the sodomites and their enablers want to get control the children at a young age and indoctrinate them.
Sodomites not only suffer from not acting normally to shit, but they are also greatly disproportionately involved in child molestation, child pornography, and serial killers.
Statically more straights are going to die from Swine flu this fall and winter… so does that mean this will be natures way of ridding the world of homophobic bigots like you?
Actually, there is a bit problem with what you just said. More heterosexual people have AIDS than do homosexual people. In fact, AIDS came into the US via heterosexuals long before it was identified as being a disease. The problem is that the population through which it was first identified was the gay male populations of a few cities and AIDS became a ‘gay disease’ despite the fact that more straights contract it than do gays and lesbians.
AIDS doesn’t discriminate.
Incidentally, you might want to brush up on your sociology too.
probably trick gone bad
What is it that you psycho douchebags are trying to accomplish? Why do you come to this site if you are apposed to everything it stands for? Just to attack others? That sounds about right! You people are what’s wrong w/ the world…not gays! And most of you venomous snakes, posting the vile, hateful, and violent comments are men! It usually is. When you can’t argue logic….when you have no logical legs to stand on….you revert to hostile tactics. Because so many of you are primitive apes! And if women post, it’s because some of them have been ruined by your toxic influence. I am gay, and I am NO victim!! I believe in America…the right to free press, the right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness, and the right to bear arms! So why don’t you predators get a life and visit sites that you actually enjoy- get on w/ your own lives and quite putting your nose up other people butts!
IF YOU PEOPLE ARE SO CATEGORICALLY APPOSED TO HOMOSEXUALITY- WHY DO YOU VISIT THIS SITE? NOTHING BETTER TO DO? ISN’T THERE A NASCAR EVENT ON T.V. OR A CROSS BURNING YOU COULD BE ATTENDING?
They come to this site to try and attack us and make us stop speaking. It has not worked in the time since this article was written.
I am promoting an awareness campaign for the rights of gay people. Gays should be respected, not neglected, not abused, and free of will to do things that most normal people do. We should support this campaign and let this spread to other people.
Gays should be treated as equals. They are still a human beings that needs freedom from abuse, from discrimination. People do tend to be conservative and got the bad impression when they met a gay person, please do stop that for it is applicable theses days. Human rights do honor this one. I am campaigning this awareness to let the people know and remind them that gay people too are Human.
Phobia implies a “fear”.
I’m not afraid of dog poop, but still try to avoid stepping in it.
Moron.
California is probably burning because it is hot and dry.Mr Frankel is probably dead because he chose a life style that results in death in the mid forties on average from violence, suicide, drugs etc.Since you approve of a behavior that takes 30+ years off of peoples lives,do you also encourage smoking?It only takes off 7 years.How about twinkies for diabetics.That also “feels good”,but shortens their life.
“Because God is mad at you homophobes for voting in Prop 8… that is why it is burning”
Haha Paula, it is nice to see both sides so stupid on the man’s death. We will know soon enough what killed him. The gay lobby and the hate groups are two peas in a pod.
If you want the moral high ground Paula, don’t be stooping down investigating the dog sh*t.
There is no such thing as homophobia. The emotion engendered by the Sodomites is disgust, not fear. After all, who is afraid of a flock of faires?
He probably just got caught in a mugging gone bad.
These are tough economic times and desperate hungry people do bad stuff.
Druggies do bad stuff all the time.
To put a conspiracy spin or political or hate spin on it at this point is premature and just makes it harder for the police to find out what really happened.
Mr Frankel is dead because he was jogging on a 90 degree day… had a heart attack… fell into the creek and drowned.
You should be stripped of your title MD, because you are a facist bastard! You know Heterosexuals do more harm to planet Earth than Homosexuals ever could. Did it ever enter you dim intellect that gays could be designed to protect the pigs from breeding themselves to death aka homeostais? You selfish bastard!
That doesn’t account for the quart of semen in his ass.
I’m a Christian and believe that the act of homosexual behaviour is wrong, but I am not here to judge anyone. However, some of the so called Christians who have put stuff on this comments page is disgraceful. They should be ashamed of themselves for the foul language they have used and for their hateful rants. Christians have a right to an opinion, but not a ‘right’ to hate and call people names. I’m sorry for their behaviour and hope that you, Paula, don’t get the impression that we are all hateful people.
God Bless,
Tony
nor doest it account for the 3 pounds of shit in your head poorly passing for brains
Bubba and anyone else following this thread… this is my house and you will respect it… and if you can not leave comments that add to a constructive conversation then you will not be allowed to leave comment…. Thank You
Ahhh..give me a break. Everyone as a child has been teased at once in a while. Alex, must be gay and has mommy issues and that is why he is all bent. I have several gay family members and I still think it’s sick to have sex with the same sex. That is not normal. They do not act normal and can’t function in a normal society. That is why they have their own little world. Alex, grow up…and get over it.
I don’t think they should be put in prison… freedom of speech is for all… and the more they talk… the more good and decent people want nothing to do with them… they marginalize themselves with their own crap
Tony well spoken narrow is the way and few that be that find it.
Go instinct??? Why don’t YOU look in a dictionary?
Those who righteously hate unrepentant PROUD FAGS are doing God’s work, because He hates them too.
Bring back the DEATH PENALTY FOR FAGS!! (Leviticus 20:13)
HalleluYah!
Okkkk talk on… you can be sure I will point out this comment on the next article that points who is apposing marriage equality in Maine…
HalleluYah! thanks for the ammo
Well said Phoebe. Couldn’t agree with you more.
Homos are antiChrist – thus, opposing antiChrists is actually doing God’s Work by ‘occupying till He’ returns.
Thank you Lord Jesus for thy Truth; thy Words are truth! HalleluYah!
Remember: the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.
You forgot to take your Lithium this morning, didn’t you?
One fag out cruising, killed by another fag. Promiscuous behaviour, regardless your choice of sexuality will always get you in trouble.
The truth is I know instinct from EXTINCT, but most Heterosexuals aka breeders do not. Go fuck yourself!
