(Reuters) -
Barney Frank, a gay 16-term congressman from Massachusetts, plans to marry his
partner, his office said on Thursday.
Frank, 71,
who announced his decision to retirement from the House of Representatives late
last year, will marry partner Jim Ready in a ceremony in Massachusetts,
spokesman Harry Gural said. Frank is a Democrat.
Massachusetts
was the first state to legalize same-sex marriage in 2004.
No other
details on the date or location were being released at this time.
Elected to
the House of Representatives in 1980, Frank was one of the first openly gay
politicians to serve in office at a national level in the United States.
