Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene
when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire
Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned
down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have
the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports,
"Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated
offering him the dollar to cool down the situation."
