BARRIER BREAKER

June 3, 2007 — THE times they are a-changin'. For the first time since its creation in 1886, the ultra-exclusive Social Register has listed a gay couple and their three adopted children in its blue-blood pages. Randy Florke, who recently signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Home Shopping Network for his own line of home furnishings, and Sean Patrick Maloney , First Deputy Secretary to Gov. Spitzer, were listed along with their three children, Reiniel Jesus, Daley and Essex.
