TIME magazine on Thursday revealed that
their April 8 covers will feature a gay and a lesbian couple sharing
a kiss.
Under the black and white photos, the
headline in bright yellow: “Gay Marriage Already Won.”
In an appearance on MSNBC's Morning
Joe, TIME Magazine Editor Rick Stengel described the accompanying
cover story by David von Drehle: “No matter what the Supreme Court
does, the idea of gay marriage has insinuated itself and socialized
itself into American life in such a way, particularly among young
people, that it is inevitable that same-sex marriage becomes
something that is universal in our society. And the court, I think,
would be smart to recognize that. They may not, they tend to try to
focus on the narrow issues. But it's an interesting story about how
what's happened in the culture, in law, in business. Eighty percent
of Americans feel like it's going to happen.”
In fact, TIME has already posted the
story online. You
