We lost California but gained Jay Severin by Sue O’Connell
co-publisherWednesday Nov 19, 2008Boston’s bad boy of talk radio, Jay Severin (96.9 FM WTKK) has had a change of heart about what he used to call "homosexual marriage". It seems the national protests for same sex marriage rights caught his attention. On his November 17th broadcast ( listen to the podcast here ) Jay says that the "Jeffersonian standard" that "rules" his political life indicates to him that if it doesn’t break his leg or pick his pocket, then it’s of no harm to him. He indicates that "we can all be proud of ability to evolve" without "caving in". Jay further state that he’s" always been for human rights. And that means no discrimination against people for whom they love, with whom they sleep."
"...no discrimination against people for whom they love, with whom they sleep."
As a long-time listener to Jay I’ve always been confounded by how a practical, Libertarian leaning, fiscal conservative could be against gay marriage. I lean Libertarian and I think the government has no business in the marriage business, for gays or straights. Jay is also a self-described libertine (which would make him a Libertarian libertine).
It’s been a long time coming but I’m glad he’s finally arrived at our party.
