Barney Frank to wed long-time partner
By Noah Bierman, Globe Staff
US Representative Barney Frank, one of the first openly gay politicians in national office, confirmed today through a spokesman that he is planning to wed his long-time partner, Jim Ready.
Frank’s spokesman, Harry Gural, said he could not yet provide further details on the wedding, including the date and exact location. But the marriage will take place in Frank’s home state of Massachusetts, the first in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage. The Supreme Judicial Court ruled in 2003 that same-sex marriage is a right under the state’s Constitution.
Frank, a Newton Democrat, plans to leave Congress when his term expires in January. He chose not to seek reelection after his district was redrawn this year.
