REAL Important news! Barney Frank marries longtime partner..LOL
Submitted by go213mph on Sun, 07/08/2012 - 09:50Gotta Love what's "news" in todays world. I don't care how people choose to live their lives, but as a heterosexual male it's impossible for me to read about 2 guys "gettin together" without wanting to puke because of the visions that pop into my head about the discusting and unnatural places that they will be putting their love into each other. Like I said...to each his own, but yuck!
"Rep. Barney Frank married his longtime partner, Jim Ready, in Newton, Massachusetts on Saturday evening.
Frank, 72, and Ready, 42, tied the knot at the Boston Marriott hotel in a ceremony officiated by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, his office announced in a press release. More than 300 guests were in attendance.
Frank, who has decided not to run for re-election, is the first sitting member of Congress to enter a same-sex marriage.
Though he didn't plan the wedding around his retirement, Frank has said that the timing worked out well.
"There’s an unintended benefit," he told New York magazine earlier this year. "I want to get married. I do think, to be honest, if I was running for reelection, I might have tried to put the marriage off until after the election, because it just becomes a complication. But I did want to get married while I was still in office. I think it’s important that my colleagues interact with a married gay man."

I can't wait for the divorce
I can't wait for the divorce and I hope the young guy takes Barney for all he is worth.
Why?
If I didn't know better, I'd think you had a little 'cui bono' with Mr. Ready. No? Where's the 'skin off your nose', so to speak?

They are no more married than
my toaster and blender.
Why do you get to decide on another's
marriage status? the decision is between two individuals (or between several if it's a religion that accepts polygamy.)
This OP story has NOTHING to do with the Liberty movement. It is a private, peaceable matter of individual choice.
What's your point. On this list?

Free includes debt-free!
Ha!
I'd rather talk about this on DP than Gary Johnson......
(Can't somebody with the know how divvy up and get GJ his own fan site so DP can crash GJ?)
Granted, the marriage is hardly 'Politics & Law'.......more like 'Current Events'. But it ain't Tom Cruise either.

Please stop watering down DP!
This is a savvy crowd with no need for unnecessary and unrelated 'news' items (that are posted EVERYWHERE to start with) taking up valuable space.
I wish the Mods were tighter on the focus of the Daily PAUL and we didn't have to post comments like this - it takes up time (another vauable resource).

Rights are like muscles; you must exercise them to keep them fit, or they will atrophy and die.
Good for him! There isn't
Good for him! There isn't enough love in this world as it is. All love is a reason to celebrate.
What they do in the privacy of their home doesn't affect me one way or another. All are free to live as they choose.
Blessings )o(
Love - maybe
Could be simply sex and money.
Frank, 72, and Ready, 42.
Pretty much says it all. Where do I lay my bet for the longevity of this marriage? I'd give it 1 yr now that Franks is out of office.
Bon chance! Nevertheless.
