Out's Most Powerful 50
Barney Frank was named this year's #1 most powerful LGBT person in Out magazine's 3rd Annual Power 50 list. Frank moved up from #2 last year, because as head of the House Financial Services Committee, he will be at the center of "some of the most heated public policy battles in the coming months." Frank has an autobiography coming out this fall called Barney Frank: The Story of America's Only Left-Handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman.

Here are the top ten, in descending order:
10.David Geffen

What an interesting list for Out to publish. Powerful? Maybe, But considering that Anderson Cooper, Matt Drudge, Barry Diller, and David Geffen are not publicly Out of the closet, it looks like Out has chosen some dubious role models and is now in the business of Out-ing people.
I’ve already e-mailed Travis about this, but it appears Out article linked above is from 2007. The link to the current article is:

@Will. The list has been corrected. I’m making my rounds editing all the posts from last night. I don’t know what they were smoking in here last night. LoL
Matthew, Travis was up until the wee hours working on these posts, so it’s understandable. You can go ahead and delete my second comment and the two following if you want.
I think that Matthew should spank Travis, hard. (videotaped and posted here for confirmation, of course.
LOL.
