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.

Agree
Disgusting. But I always knew Barney had it in him.
Bawney had to wait until he retired from Congress before getting mayweed because of this obvious conflict of interest ...
LOL he will.
Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald...
His last name is pronounced “Ree-dee”, not “Red-dee”.
Otherwise we could drag out the song
“Are you ready?
Yes I’m ready
Are you ready?
Yes I’m ready
To fall in love, to fall in love...”

Bielat: You’re with Barney, right?

Ready: With the joke, man. You know you’re not funny at all.
Bielat: Are you, are you serious?
Ready: That was not funny. You just tried two jokes and they’re not even funny.
Bielat: You’re really standing here and heckling me?

In a telephone interview, Frank acknowledged he was present for the bust but denied knowledge that James Ready was growing cannabis. He reportedly told police during the August, 2007 incident that he only smokes cigars and would not be able to identify marijuana if he came across it.
Charges against Ready were dropped after he admitted to possession and paid a fine, MyFox added.
Congressman Frank, while professing to be unable to identify cannabis if he came across it, is no stranger to progressive positions on its prohibition. In April 2008, he proposed federal legislation that would have removed penalties for adult possession of the plant. Appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher, he jokingly referred to it as the “Make Room for Serious Criminals Bill.”
Do you think they give and take equally?
Honeymooning where ?
No word on where the happy couple is registered?
