Newsweek Calls President Obama The First Gay President

Newsweek Obama First Gay President

Newsweek has decided to declare President Obama as "The First Gay President," following his decision to support gay marriage earlier this week. The issue includes an article by Andrew Sullivan. The cover includes a photograph of President Obama with a multicolored halo above his head. Newsweek is likely hoping reader's remember Toni Morrison's description of former President Bill Clinton as the first black president in 1998.

President Obama made the announcement that he now supports gay marriage on Good Morning America. You can see the video clip here.

The cover is for the May 21, 2012 issue of Newsweek, which has not yet arrived on newsstands, but the digital version is already available on iTunes.
