Newsweek Portrays Barack Obama with Rainbow Halo in Latest Cover
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Newsweek has depicted Barack Obama with a rainbow halo, labelling him America’s “first gay president”.

The accompanying article, written by openly-gay conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan, asserts that the US president’s choice to “come out” in favour of gay marriage was well calculated.

In a statement about his piece, Mr Sullivan argued that there are similarities between Mr Obama and the homosexual community.

“When you step back a little and assess the record of Obama on gay rights, you see, in fact, that this was not an aberration. It was an inevitable culmination of three years of work,” he wrote.

“He had to discover his black identity and then reconcile it with his white family, just as gays discover their homosexual identity and then have to reconcile it with their heterosexual family.” » | Amy Willis, Los Angeles | Monday, May 14, 2012
