Hot Bottom

Reading about the election results, I saw an item on Barney Frank in which the guy who ran the male prostitution ring from Frank's home had acquired the nickname "Hot Bottom". Curious, I found an article from 1989 in the Washington Post. Sure enough...

"Although Frank and Gobie differ in some details of their relationship, they agree on the story line. They met on April Fool's Day 1985. The representative answered a classified ad in the Washington Blade, the local gay weekly. "Exceptionally good-looking, personable, muscular athlete is available. Hot bottom plus large endowment equals a good time."

Ironically, Frank did to the housing market what Hot Bottom did to him.
