| New Yorker Cover 5/21/12 Artist: Bob Staake |
The New Yorker has chosen to celebrate President Obama’s support for marriage equality,by devoting the cover to the President’s announcement. The south portico of the White House was given a rainbow hue.
In the New Yorker’s blog, the artist, Bob Staake, wrote:
“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.”
I love the New Yorker, and if I was trapped on a desert island, and could only take one thing with me - it would be my New Yorker subscription.
Thank you New Yorker!

I want to say thanks for commenting. I don’t think people say ‘thanks’ often enough and I know that it’s a big step to go from “lurker” to “participant”. It means a lot to me that you decided to take the time to comment on a post, and join the conversation here. I think we have a great community and your presence can only make it stronger.
