WASHINGTON — Retiring Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank, a gay pioneer in Congress, plans to marry his longtime partner Jim Ready of Maine.
A spokesman for Frank confirmed Thursday that the congressman’s wedding will be in Massachusetts, but said no date had been set.
The Democrat announced last fall that he was retiring at the end of his 16th term.
The stories the BDN chooses to put prominently on their online blog never cease to amaze me. This is a tabloid story, not worthy of the space it takes.
But we read it didn’t we? And then we read or wrote comments.
Speak for yourself. I clicked on it ONLY to post my comment on it’s presence.
And enriched the BDN by doing so.
He is a digusting career politician that got rich and decadent providing paybacks for union thugs and the Mass. hackerama. Good riddance to a monster that crippled America with Fannie and Freddie!
SO…who really cares?
i hate that guy.
Congrats and best wishes!
Barney’s just trying to shake the graft tree one more time. Since he’s not going to be in the House anymore, it’s time to cash in the chits. What this amounts to is bribe payments disguised as ‘wedding gifts’.
So precious…………they will have beautiful children too. Nice couple.
Their only likely offspring will be Mr. Ready’s pot plants in Maine; remember the ones that Bawney didn’t notice because he doesn’t know what it looks like?
….
Congratulations!
What happened to the Colombian boyfriend from a few years ago? Mr. Frank and his boyfriend went to Bogota to see the re-inaugaration of then President Alvaro Uribe. And the boyfriend before that? What happened to him? He was running a male-prostitution operation and when that was found out of course he had to disappear.
How many boyfriends-girlfriends or sex partners a grown man has is not a concern to me but I do find the use of the word longterm kind of funny.
Surely Bishop Malone, who says so little about priests in Maine and elsewhere who molest(ed) children, will condemn Barney Frank, already damned by the Church for being Jewish.
this has nothing to do with Bishop Malone, your bigoted hatred is shining thru here!
Is this the same guy who ran a gay prostitution ring out of Barneys apartment in Wasahington or is he the guy who made millions working at Fannie May, loose count Barney cheats on all his boy friends.
Different guys at different timelines…
I don’t care who he marries. He still ought to be jailed for raping the American economy.
Bingo.
Oh goody, I’m tho happy for them.
Shouldn’t he be in jail?
yes….
“A gay pioneer in Congress”? More like “A gay criminal in Congress.”
His complete ineptness in politics was criminal, but not illegal.
I voted against him in all 16 elections, to no avail. The only good thing he did for my district was to help the New Bedford fishermen.
Is Jim ready for Barney? Apparently yes. Do we need to read about it in the bdn? Absolutely not.
I bet Michaud is heartbroken over this news
Barny, will probably be the poster child for the gay, lesbian, movement about to hit our fine state again. They want equil rights, however we do not have the right to vote NO, and have them understand.
