When Americans talk about gay politicians, the name Barney Frank invariably comes up. Frank, who died at 86 on May 19th of congestive heart failure, was the country’s preeminent gay political figure for decades.

I’m certainly not gonna mourn #BarneyFrank, because I cannot I forget about how he opposed the inclusion of trans people in ENDA. Like a lot of cis gay men of our generation, he was no friend to the trans community.

Former U.S. Representative Barney Frank, who helped spearhead legislation that tightened banking regulations and consumer protections after the 2007 financial crash, has died at age 86. The first openly gay congressman, he served for over 30 years in the U.S. House as a member from Massachusetts, and was known as a champion of liberal causes. During his final weeks in hospice care, he told media outlets that one of his regrets was that he would not see the fall of Donald Trump, who he referred to as an "idiot savant." Here's more from @people.

During Trump’s 2nd term, his admin has worked to roll back many of the #DoddFrankAct legislation’s provisions, arguing they were too onerous.
Facing his toughest reelection campaign in years in 2010 as the tea party wave swept US politics, #BarneyFrank opted against running again in 2012, though he remained engaged in #politics long after leaving #Congress & was a fierce critic of #Trump.
Asked who might succeed Trump, Frank said “unfortunately I won’t get to vote for it.”

Working with then-Senate #Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., the #DoddFrankAct would enhance #ConsumerProtections, impose new capital requirements for #banks & boost the ability of #regulators to #monitor #risk.
“Barney & I shared a fantastic relationship,” Dodd said. “I had many good moments in those 36 years in #Congress, but none more significant, joyful, or productive than those almost two years working with Barney on our banking bill.”

…By 2007, #BarneyFrank was the chairman of the #House #Financial Services Committee, where he would leave his lasting policy mark as the #US #economy careened toward collapse. He worked with the Republican Bush admin to pass a rescue package, providing vital support to financial institutions but spurring a populist revolt that still courses through US politics.
Once the initial crisis eased, Frank helped develop the most significant financial #reform #legislation since the New Deal.

With #BarneyFrank’s 2012 marriage to Ready, he became the first incumbent lawmaker on Capitol Hill to marry someone of the same sex.
In an April interview as he entered hospice, Frank said he hoped he would be remembered for advocating a brand of #politics that embraced #progressive ideals without forcing them on voters prematurely. An approach he feared was being rejected as #Democrats prepare for what could be a rollicking primary as they hope to retake the White House in 2028.

A self-described “left-handed gay Jew,” #BarneyFrank was known for his acerbic wit, combative style & focus on marginalized communities. He represented the party’s left wing while keeping close with Democratic leaders who sometimes frustrated progressives.
He is best known as a pioneer for #LGBT rights. After decades of grappling with his sexuality, he publicly came out as #gay in 1987, the first member of #Congress to do so voluntarily.

If the fact that #BarneyFrank has spent the last seven years lobbying Congress to weaken and undermine the #DoddFrank Bill doesn't tell you that American capitalism is a supremely sick and twisted system, I just can't help you.

The #Democrats!
😡 Your legacy achievement bears your name, the Dodd-Frank Act, and you debase that legacy by taking 💰💰💰 to lobby for _gutting your own Act_, which will now be borne by taxpayers, a burden which you once railed against.
This bugs me worse than drug warrior John Boehner cashing in on legal pot. At least he pivoted _toward_ redemption.
