After a long hot and sticky--and not the good kind of hot
and sticky--weekend, it was nice to see a tidbit of good news this morning.
Barney got married.
No, no the purple dinosaur, and not Fred Flintstone's neighbor--he';s
still married to Betty.
Barny Frank married his longtime partner, James Ready last Saturday, and, in doing so,
became the first sitting congressman to enter into a same-sex marriage.
Yay!
Massachusetts Governor
Deval Patrick--Hmmm, why didn't they ask former governor, Mittsy?--officiated
the ceremony and created a few giggles during thew vows by saying that Barney
and James owed to love each other through Democratic and Republican
administrations alike, and through appearances on Fox News.
"Barney was
beaming," said Al Green, a Democratic congressman
from Texas . He
added that Frank, a champion of gay rights and the sweeping reform of Wall
Street, shed a tear during the ceremony. "It was no different than
any other wedding I've attended when you have two people who are in love with
each other."
And that's all we need to
know.
A couple, in love, tied the
knot over the weekend.
Congrats to Barney and
James.
