Historic Engagement of the Day: Rep. Barney Frank, who in 1987 became the first openly gay member of Congress, is set to become the first openly gay member of Congress to be legally married while still in office.
According to Frank’s spokesman Harry Gural, the Massachusetts rep. and longtime partner Jim Ready are preparing to tie the knot in their home state. A wedding date has not yet been set.
Frank and Ready first met at a fundraiser in 2005. They entered into a relationship in 2007, following the death of Ready’s partner.
Ready has been a source of some controversy for the Congressmen. He was arrested in 2007 for growing marijuana near his home in Maine. He pled guilty and was fined. Frank, who was in the house at the time, later released a statement saying Ready apologized and promised not to do it again.
71-year-old Frank announced late last year that he would be retiring at the end of his current term.

Ayo, what did your parents feed you as a kid

To have you turn out as beautiful as you did?

Fresh strawberries all in your crib

Morning Similac

Tell your parents take notes so we can remember that

Priss: We just gotta think....Like....If we want it bad enough, we'll make the effort to get it!
Me: Yep. We need each need at least two grand.
Priss: Oooo shit...Lol no more leisure spending for me.
Me: No more booze for me :(
Priss: Lol when we get our place,we'll get shit faced with no shame!
Me: I never feel shame. Hahahaha
I think Priss was the only true friend I made in college outside my immediate group of friends. That is apart from Frank and Mo'. I can't wait for the shenanigans that we have waiting for us this summer.
