BERT AND ERNIE CELEBRATE EQUALITY

Next week's cover of The New Yorker features Sesame Street characters Ernie and Bert cuddling, lit by a television, watching news of the Supreme court.

The magazine reports:

“It’s amazing to witness how attitudes on gay rights have evolved in my lifetime,” said Jack Hunter, the artist behind next week’s cover, “Moment of Joy.” Hunter, who originally submitted his image, unsolicited, to a Tumblr, continued, “This is great for our kids, a moment we can all celebrate.”
