## Caption

Barney Frank told 60 Minutes in 2008 that he realized he was gay at 13 and thought: "I will repress it.” But by the mid-1980s, the up-and-coming congressman decided to come out publicly. When a reporter asked him about it, Frank recalled responding: “Yeah. So what?” Frank, who represented Massachusetts in Congress from 1981 until he retired in 2013, has died at age 86. #barneyfrank #massachusetts #congressman #congress
