BOSTON As July rolls in and we celebrate our nations birthday, Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank is preparing to become the first congressman to have a same-sex marriage.
Frank, who is retiring at the end of this term, is getting married to Jim Ready, his partner of 5 years, this month. News reports are speculating the event will take place in Newton on July 7.
Planning the wedding has been a little stressful, Frank said in June in an interview with Todd Zwillich of The Takeaway.
However, Frank said he wasn't worried, and thinks the couple did a good job, in part thanks to some helpful assistance from Readys mother and Franks sister.
