Barney Frank engaged to boyfriend Jim Ready (updated)
Engaged: Barney Frank, 71, and longtime partner Jim Ready, 42, the congressman's office confirmed for us Thursday, following a report by New England Cable News. Where's the wedding? In Massachusetts, where gay nuptials were made legal in 2004. When? Sorry, that's all the details they'd give. Frank is set to leave Congress next winter after 32 years, and he's said the rigors of the job and the desire to devote more time to his relationship were factors. "I have a partner now," Frank told Charlie Rose in an interview a couple weeks ago. "I'm in love for the first time in my life." The couple met at a political fundraiser in Ready's home state of Maine. The Advocate described him in 2009 as a Todd Palin lookalike and surfing enthusiast. Their mostly low-profile relationship has made the news a handful of times, when Ready exchanged words with his beau's opponents at public forums, and when he was charged with having marijuana plants at his home in 2007.
