Barney Frank Talks Wedding, ENDA on Jimmy Kimmel

Congressman Barney Frank recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, and took the opportunity to talk about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and his upcoming wedding.

Frank played an important role in advancing legislation critical to our community, including the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act and the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." He announced last month that he was retiring from Congress at the end of his current term and planned to marry his partner, Jim Ready, in Massahcusetts.
