NEW YORK---The New Yorker magazine is celebrating the Supreme Court’s landmark marriage equality decisions by unveiling a cover featuring “Sesame Street’s” Bert and Ernie. On the cover of next week’s issue of the magazine, the “Sesame Street” characters are drawn cozily sitting together in front of a TV with Bert’s arm around Ernie, and Ernie leaning on his shoulder. The TV shows an image of the Supreme Court justices in their black robes. The artist behind the cover, called “Moment of Joy,” is Jack Hunter. He originally submitted the unsolicited image to a Tumblr page, according to the New Yorker’s website. [link]

Hunter originally created this iconic image last May 2012 in reaction to President Obama's announcement that he support the Freedom to Marry for gay couples. It is good to see it revised and being used in this context for 2013.
