Mara Gay Married / Husband / Boyfriend / Relationships
As of June 2019, Mara is yet to get married and she doesn’t have a husband. Considering that every other people have a different take on marriage and a certain plan for it, Mara possibly seems to be far away from all of it.
She is thriving in her career so much so that, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she opts to keep her work in her top most priority as of now. Which might as well be one of the reasons for her not being married.
Meanwhile, many of Mara’s friends. family, followers and supporters seems to be interested in knowing why she hasn’t gotten hitched yet, as she mentioned in one of her tweets; that she gets questioned about it a lot.
This happens to me all the time. "Why aren't you married?"

Ms. Gay is an exceptional reporter. I don’t always agree with her, but I really like her comments on MSNBC. Her comments are precise and offer supporting logic. That logic and willingness to support views are lacking in the Fox and Friends atmosphere.
Congratulations on a quick start to what has promise to be a first-rate career. The New York Times is the publication of record for truth and many of us rely on its well-founded credibility.
Mara, you are most talented and also like your writing! Believe me, I too get asked all the time why I am not married? And, I am a bit older than you. You just get into your career and when the time is right may or may not happen! And, that too is fine! You are still young yet and have your career which clearly you have advanced in and will continue to do so! You are smart, and really have a great grasp of the issues you impart and speak on when on MSNBC – I have watched you numerous times, and applaud your hard work! Keep up the GREAT work, Mara!
Hi Mara, I enjoy your observations/comments on Ari Melber & msnbc.
One suggestion; please, when badmouthing Democrats, do so in the context of OFFERING WHAT they could be doing.
Too many progressives criticize the dem’s. Leave that to Fox & the R’s.
Thanks, Tony Beaverson

I see you often on MSNBC and always look forward to seeing you on a panel. The insight you have on how things affect different candidates. Your story about how the older women in your family that felt Kamala Harris was mean spirited in the way she went at Joe Biden. That brought it to the level that was identifiable for everyone and not a professional spin telling people to think, I loved it.
If Biden gets the nomination and if Warren is as close as she is behind him, who does he pick for VP? I mean they are both from the area of the country.. if Warren wins who does she pick? I would vote for two women but I don’t know if our country is ready for that.
This country should have been turned over to women a long time ago. We would not have had as many wars.
Thank you for the great insight you. give to the conversation.
Hello Mara!
Often, while watching MSNBC when you are a guest commentator, I’ve wondered if you may be related to a very good friend of mine . I have since found out that you are indeed the daughter of my friend. Your father and I haven’t seen each other in a number of years (since he moved from Dayton, Ohio) but I want you to know that your parents should be very proud of you. I know I am.
Dear Mara Gay:
I’ve been reading your articles in the NY Times for and watching your insightful commentary on MSNBC for sometime. Recently, I read your article on the Friday, March 6th Opinion Page of the New York Times about the trials going back generations that have led large numbers of blacks in South Carolina to support Joe Biden. You mentioned marching over the Edmund Pettus Bridge, marking the fifty-fifth anniversary of ‘Bloody Sunday’. You spoke to a black man named, Bob Smith who was at the march and was beaten. That summer I worked in Mississippi with A Bob Smith on voter registration. We were both about twenty at the time, stayed in touch for years afterwards, but we lost contact in the 1980s. I believe the Bob Smith you interviewed was the same one I knew all those years ago. Is there a way for you to help me reach him?
Dear Maya. How best to contact you
Thank you for your insightful and honest perspective on events and issues facing us today. Most
importantly, take care. Be safe
and be well.
Dear Mara Gay,
I wish to thank you. You are a member of the editorial board at the premier, coolest newspaper in the country if not the world, the New York Times, you have a degree from an accredited university, you are a shining example of what can be achieved with bad faith and a pseudo-education. I particularly appreciate that they forgot to explain certain truths to you:
1. Five-Hundred Million dollars divided among 327 Million Americans is NOT greater than 1 Million.
2. The same American flag is just as much yours, and belongs to you just as much as it belongs to the people who flew it on their pick-up trucks across Long-Island.
3. The word you were looking for was “expletives” and not “explicatives.”
I now understand and bow to the wisdom you are promoting:
That expecting basic competence in Math from people who want us to destroy our industries and economy, starve and/or freeze to death for the same of the climate, “in the name of science,” is racist. In fact, that Math itself is racist, if it proves you wrong. That civics is racist, if it teaches you “my country, to love it or change it,” not love it or hate it. That expecting basic competence from a college graduate, in her native language, is racist.
I am truly grateful to you, and to my advanced years, knowing that I don’t have much more to put up with the open sewer you and your crowd are going to make of this planet.
Best of luck to you in all your endeavors. Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out.
Well Mara Gay is a half-breed racist and her mother is WHITE. So why does she HATE her Mother and other White People? Because she’s been MK-Ultra BRAINWASHED like the rest of the racist FAKE Journalists in the Mockingbird Media run by the CIA.
