WOW, Newsweek Cover: "The First Gay President"

[stevenleser]

62. OK everybody, calm down and think about this.

#1 - It is a riff on Bill Clinton being the first black President. Obviously, Clinton was not black, but it was his empathy with the Black community to the point that many African Americans believed he really got how they felt and what their needs were that earned him the title "First black President".

#2 - Being gay is not a bad thing and that was part of the whole point of the President announcing he is for equality in marriage. This is not an attempt at slander or to harm the President. If anything, Newsweek is signaling support for the President's stance on marriage equality. I get called gay and slurs against gays a lot for articles and videos supporting equal rights and when I do comment on such things, that is exactly how I respond. "I dont consider being gay a bad thing so what you said doesn't make me feel attacked at all". Boom. The end.
