Congressman Barney Frank, the most prominent openly gay politician in the United States, has represented the 4th District of Massachusetts in the House of Representatives since 1981. He is the senior Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee. Known in Washington for his wit and candor, he has been outspoken on many human rights issues, especially those that affect GLBT people. “I’m used to being in the minority,” he told an interviewer in 1996; “I’m a left-handed gay Jew.” Barney Frank continues both to serve his constituency -- he is elected by ever-larger margins each election -- and to fight for gay rights, including the right to same-sex marriage.
