The spokesperson for Congressman Barney Frank, D-Mass., said today that Frank would marry his longtime partner, Jim Ready, 42, a first in national American politics.
In 2008, The Hill reported that Ready wore Frank’s Congressional Spouse lapel pin. Ready and Frank have been together since the spring of 2007. They plan to hold the ceremony in Massachusetts.
Ready lives in Ogunquit, Maine and owns a small business doing handyman services.
Frank is one of seven self-identified LGBT representatives in the history of Congress.
Frank, 71, announced in November that he intends to retire from Congress at the end of his term in 2013.

"Congratulations Barney and Jim!"
