The first openly gay member of Congress, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., became the first openly gay married member of Congress when he exchanged vows Saturday with his longtime partner, Jim Ready, at a short but sweet ceremony in Massachusetts. Gov. Deval Patrick officiated. In their vows, the couple promised to love each other “on MSNBC or on Fox” and “in Congress or in retirement,” according to the New York Times’ account. Also on hand: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Reps. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
