Barney Frank, ex-congressista e pioneiro dos direitos LGBTQIA+, morre aos 86 anos

O ex-representante de Massachusetts, Barney Frank, morreu este mês aos 86 anos. Obituários destacaram seu papel como um político abertamente gay e seu trabalho no pacote de reforma financeira Dodd-Frank de 2010.

Frank continuou a oferecer conselhos aos Democratas mesmo de seu leito de cuidados paliativos. Ele expressou críticas à esquerda progressista por seu foco em questões raciais e culturais paralelamente à desigualdade econômica, particularmente após seu candidato ao Senado preferido no Maine perder uma disputa nas primárias.
