Warwick Mayor supports marriage equality
As originally published on March 25, 2011 by Ted Nesi at WRPI.com
Gay marriage proponents in Rhode Island have gained another high-profile supporter: Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian.
During a taping of this weekend’s edition of WPRI 12′s “Newsmakers,” the Republican told Tim White and me that he believes Rhode Island should legalize same-sex marriage.
“I look at it as a question of human rights and civil rights, so I would be in favor of that,” Avedisian told us.
We tackled a wide range of topics with the longtime mayor, from his political future and his relationship with Governor Chafee to the proposed expansion of T.F. Green. The full program will be posted online today and be televised Sunday at 10 a.m. on Fox Providence.
Speaking of the Sunday morning shows, if you were planning to watch Jack Reed talk Libya on ABC you’re out of luck – he and Rand Paul got bumped by Secretaries Clinton and Gates this afternoon.
