Rep. Barney Frank to marry longtime partner
TweetWASHINGTON (AP) — Retiring Rep. Barney Frank, a gay pioneer in Congress, said today that he will marry his longtime partner, Jim Ready.
Frank spokesman Harry Gural said the liberal Massachusetts Democrat's wedding will be in his home state, but that no date had been set.
Ready, 42, lives in Ogunquit, Maine. He has a small business doing custom awnings, carpentry, painting, welding and other general handyman services, Gural said. Ready is also a photographer. The two men have been together since spring 2007.
Frank, 71, was attending a retreat Thursday with other House Democrats on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
During an appearance on PBS' "The Charlie Rose Show" earlier this month, Frank said he was looking forward to leaving Congress and spending time with Ready.
"Look, I have a partner now, Jim Ready; I have an emotional attachment. I`m in love for the first time in my life," Frank said on the show.

Wow, a "May-December" romance makes me giddy with excitement. Or, is this just a case of getting a trophy wife?
I take it this was not the guy running the male prostitution ring out of Barney's DC townhouse in the late '80s. When I saw the headline, thought it could be Herb Moses from Fannie Mae also.
Perhaps Dave Betras will invite them to honeymoon in Youngstown?
The description of Barney's lover's job leaves the door open for chuckle...

This goof ball has caused unbelieveable damage to the banking industry using loans to people who could not afford them. Thank god this goof ball democrat is out of office. Hopefully he takes Obama with him.

Ready is a goldigger, for sure. lol
Good for them though. Everyone deserves happiness.
I see the class of the Ytowners is still growing .
I hope they both live happily everafter, outside the USA.
This country needs some sort of cleansing
