Gerry Studds
Jump to Comments
In an odd turn given everything else that is going on, former Massachusetts Rep. Gerry Studds has died from a blood clot in his lung.
Studds is probably most famous for being the first openly gay congressman.
Studds’s name has recently been in the news because of the ongoing Mark Foley scandal. Unfortunately, this has obscured his tremendous work on behalf of protecting Northeastern fisheries as well as broader environmental issues.

You forgot to mention why his name has popped up due to the Foley scandal.
