Congratulations, Barney and Frank

Barney Frank, Massachusetts congressman for more than 20 years, and his partner, Frank Ready, were married yesterday.   Frank becomes the first openly gay person in Congress to get married.   Massachusetts Governor Duvall Patrick officiated in the ceremony.   Guests included House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senator John Kerry.

Another signpost on the road of change.   A perfectly legal ceremony performed by the governor of the first state to adopt marriage equality in 2004.

Just wish you weren't leaving Congress, Barney.   Your intelligence and caustic wit will be missed.

Ralph
