The New Yorker just revealed what its new issue's cover will be—and it is a nod to President Obama's historic support of gay marriage.
Artist Bob Staake said, "I am honored to be doing this cover. It’s a celebratory moment for our country, and that’s what I tried to capture. (I don’t especially like those rainbow colors, but they are what they are—I had to use them.) I wanted to celebrate the bravery of the President’s statement—a statement long overdue—but all the more appreciated in this political year. We are on the right side of history."
On the wrong side of history: North Carolina, whose voters just passed an amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman and where a lesbian seeking a marriage license was just arrested.
Last year, when New York passed same-sex marriage, the New Yorker put brides on the Brooklyn Bridge.
