Retiring congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) will marry his longtime partner, Jim Ready, according to multiple media reports.
Frank and Ready plan to wed in Massachusetts. Frank's home state is one of six states, in addition to the District of Columbia, which permit gay marriage.
Frank announced in November that he was retiring from Congress after 16 terms to pursue other other opportunities. In 1987, Frank disclosed that he was gay, becoming the first openly homosexual member of Congress.
