We are heartbroken by the passing of Congressman Barney Frank.
He didn't just come out. He came out — and then did the job better than almost anyone. He chaired the House Financial Services Committee. He co-authored the Dodd-Frank Act. He won re-election with 70% of the vote. He served 32 years, openly and unapologetically.
He made it imaginable for an entire generation of LGBTQ+ leaders. And then he made it ordinary.
Rest in power, Congressman. 🏳️🌈
