Newsweek: Obama 'First Gay President' on Cover!- Obama with RAINBOW halo! HA!

[link to www.thedailybeast.com]

"The president’s bold support shifted the mainstream. Andrew Sullivan on why it shouldn't be surprising—Obama’s life as a biracial man has deep ties to the gay experience."


wow. just wow.

"My son is gay,” she said, and the room went suddenly quiet. “I don’t understand why you don’t support his right to marry the person he loves. It’s so disappointing to me.” Obama, without losing eye contact for a second, told her: “I want full equality for your son—all the rights and benefits that marriage brings. I really do. But the word ‘marriage’ stirs up so much religious feeling. I think civil unions are the way to go. As long as they are equal.”


My heart sank. Was this obviously humane African-American actually advocating a “separate but equal” solution—a form of marital segregation like the one that made his own parents’ marriage a felony in many states when he was born? Hadn’t he already declared he supported marriage equality when he was running for the Illinois Senate in 1996? (The administration now claims that the questionnaire from the gay Chicago paper Outlines had been answered in type—not Obama’s writing—by somebody else.)"

ok, the answer is yes:
Thread: Newsweek Cover: Obama 'First Gay President'

nevermind!

Hey PC...long time no see! I haven't paid much attention to Newsweek since they oficially became a tabloid, but this cover is good stuff. Seems that they're out to piss everybody off...Obama included. You'd have to be a supremely delusional gay person to believe that his support of gay marriage is anything more than a political hail mary. Just for the record, I couldn't care less if Larry and Joe want to get married...heck, let Curly join the party, too if that's what they want. The reality is that the US is on life support with a bunch of political and corporate hacks poised over her comatose body with their scalpels, ready to take her apart bit-by-bit and sell the organs to the highest bidder. We have more pressing concerns right now, IMO.

they finaly get it right,gay
i know some of you will say that is not what the
cover means,but they will not come right out
and say it

Too funny!

You can try to laugh it off if you want, but I believe Uncle Mikey was serious.... and for what its worth, I totally agree with him.

Peace!

agreed.
although i believe human rights are always the most important issue.

however, obama doesn't give a rat's ass about that
