The only two openly gay members of Congress announced Wednesday creation of the "LGBT Equality Caucus," comprised of 52 members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Reps. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who've taken the lead previously in introducing gay legislation, were joined by 13 of their colleagues at a news conference on Capitol Hill.
