  • A 172-line poem about our Gay Marriage Cover

    Apparently, we have a poet among us! A reader named Stephen Kraynak, of Columbus, Ohio, sent in the poem below after reading last week's story (which, as you know by now, got lots of feedback... including a debate among biblical scholars). I'm tempted to wonder where Kraynak found the time to do this, but the poem is just too fantastic. It even rhymes:

    Twas a Fortnight Before Christmas

    Twas a fortnight before Christmas
    And all through the land,
    Many readers were stirring with
    Newsweek's 12.15.08 edition in hand.

    There on the front cover
    To see in plain manner,
    A cross on a Bible
    With a rainbow flag banner.

    "The Religious Case for Gay Marriage"
    The lead story reads.
    Tis about fairness and justice,
    Which everyone needs.

    "Our Mutual Joy,"
    Writes editor Miller.
    Gay couples in photos,
    Are part of this thriller.
