Barney Frank, who in 1987 became the first sitting Congress member to voluntarily come out as gay, is now responsible for another first — on Saturday night, he married Jim Ready, becoming the first member of Congress to enter into a same-sex marriage.

Retiring Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank will marry his longtime partner Jim Ready, a handyman from Maine. Congratulations. Ready is known for being occasionally hilarious, like when he called a couple of drunk, harassing ophthalmologists "bitchy" on an airplane.

A pair of drunk Republican eye-doctors were seated near Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on a flight from Los Angeles to Boston, and they harassed the poor man until his partner stood up to call them bitches, which they probably were.
