Barney Frank to marry longtime partner (Sick!)
The Hill ^ | 1/26/2012 | By Justin Sink

Retiring congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) will marry his longtime partner, Jim Ready.

Frank and Ready plan to wed in Massachusetts. Frank's home state is one of six states, in addition to the District of Columbia, that permits gay marriage.

Frank announced in November that he would be retiring from Congress after 16 terms to pursue other opportunities. In 1987, Frank disclosed that he was gay, becoming the first openly gay member of Congress.

To the liberal establishment, this means he’ll no longer be living in sin.

Funny he waited until he wasn't running for reelection to do this.

His re-election campaign couldn't survive the bachelor party photos.

Marry?!? Two Men?!? Impossible?!? The bible and every major religious text in the world defines marriage as a union between one man and one women...

Oh you must be talking about government sanctioned union between two people of the same sex, that some politicians, bureaucrats, and liberal courts have said must be called a "marriage". I suppose it makes them feel better to play "pretend" but it's no more a marriage than if the same bureaucrats told you that you must call your pet cat a dog, would make your feline turn into a canine.

It’s more progressive to hyphenate. Could be Barney Frank-Ready, or Barney Ready-Frank. My bet is on the first.

Sounds like even Barney Frank, even in liberal MA, didn’t think he could be re-elected after entering into a gay “marriage” . . .

  If it wasn't for Romney creating same-sex marriage in Massachusetts by executive fiat, then poor Barney wouldn't be able to get married...

Oh, boy. I can't wait to read the announcement in the (all gay, all the time) Boston Globe. One hopes that Barney has the good taste not to wear white.

Will the new “wife” collect benefits after Barney dies? Still screwing the public even in death.
