An Exuberant Jared Max of 1050 ESPN, Says New York’s Same-Sex Marriage Law is ‘Monumental’
With a 33-29 vote Friday night, New York joined only five other states to accept same sex marriages. It was a historic day in New York politics and, more important, for the gay community.
Just last month, 1050 ESPN sportscaster Jared Max outed himself on the air and in subsequent interviews.
Max has become a poster boy, of sorts, for gay pride overtaking the city.
Needless to say, Max, 37, is thrilled.
“How couldn’t you be, unless you’re stuck in a place that doesn’t allow you to see civility,” Max tells FishbowlNY.
Moments after the vote was announced in Albany, many of Max’s friends, followers, and supporters sent him thank you notes on Facebook.
“That I may have played the most minute role in helping bring this wall down is hard to fathom, but I’m accepting of the honor, happily,” Max says.
