party frank has announced that he is planning on uh... married his partner
arora unlike the story so i won't his partner uh... is jim ready and
apparently they met back in october of two thousand five jerry a fundraiser
and uh... after readies park his partner at the time died
and he started getting a little cozy with route representative frank
and in massachusetts that they there of course is allowed to get married and
they will have an official uh... marriage
uh... now
you know when barney frank who was in the house
fewer sali parece about some issues and there were some issues he drove me crazy
a right
and looked at some day to day politics in using green disagree with people but
uh... and sometimes i get frustrated with dot frank finance reform of course
his name is on a ago that finance reform was way too weak and i can give you a
hundred different samples a while
you know your barney frank retinoic couple fronts here
number one he is a very rare guy who came out and set by definitely will not
sign on to be a lot
and i'd believe dot could be wrong right
but he was very very and it wasn't like the other guys are no no i probably will
not be allowed the
but you know they're going to go straight days for its
to look i want to get out of your man i want to go back home white teacher
something you know want to give back what i don't wanna be among western so
given credit for not selling out
but more importantly
history looks back at barney frank
they're gonna see the really important figure police let's were in the middle
of it now
i don't want you to overlook his importance of story
he was on the first politicians in the country to come out and be openly gay he
did not in the nineteen eighties in the mid nineteen eighties and in that i
think is one of the most courageous things you can possibly do as a
politician especially in that time period
so i give them a lot of credit for that definitely and she would always bring
his you know significant other to public events like he was that he was in china
highgate or be on the down low about it was very very open and he said the
reason that he did that is because people get more comfortable
uh... with the idea of gay couples if they actually see the right but if they
don't mean you'll find it of then at and in the polls bear this out and we've
shown this before that if they if because people don't know what anyone
ben's day or they think they don't know anyone who's day they're more likely to
be a good day if they know someone person that's gay i've seen them have
seen the couples are much more likely be in favor of gay rights
and barney frank who led that it was
absolutely courageous in the nineteen eighties to come out and say i'm day and
i'm gonna run for re-election dino has a masters and makes it a little easier
right i get that right
but still he didn't in massachusetts is that courage in
here's a trend setter and now he's gonna get married in taken except they make
their rights movement and i think when we look back we will think that he was a
that the seminal figure in this country and advancing writes for a abroad or
section of americans
