Former U.S. representative Gerry Studds, the first openly gay member of Congress, quietly married his longtime partner last year one week after same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts, according to a just published report.

Studds, a liberal Democrat who spent more than 20 years in Congress, married Dean Hara in Boston on May 24, 2004, the Patriot Ledger of Quincy reported Sunday. Studds, 68, and Hara, 47, declined to comment for the Ledger's story.

1. Belated congratulations, Rep. Studds

in case you read these forums to find out what the ordinary folks are thinking.

I had the distinct pleasure of voting for you both before the right wing scandal and smear attempt and after it. I no longer live in your district, but I'd still vote for you.

I'm glad you finally made an honest man of your partner. Best wishes to both of you.
