In a gutsy move, Newsweek has
released the cover of their next issue, on the cover of which they
depict President Obama with a rainbow halo and the title of 'The First
Gay President'.
The
news-magazine, which hits stands Monday, is using the shock factor of

The

regular blogger, Andrew Sullivan, who is an openly gay self-titled
conservative political pundit.
