Interview With MA Congressman Barney Frank

Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts is one of only a handful of publicly acknowledged gay politicians in the United Sates. Representative Frank has been a member of Congress for almost three decades and has proven to be a major player on Capitol Hill. His courageous decision to come out of the closet in 1987 could have cost him his seat, but his blunt manner and admirable work ethic have led to continuous electoral victories.  You Are Here reporter Kassandra Sundt spoke to Congressman Frank about his life as a gay man and his rise to power.
