YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"When The New Yorker released their upcoming cover this morning, there was a flurry of nostalgic excitement from marriage equality supporters followed by a good dose of backlash from those who felt it trivialized the Supreme Court's rulings and the larger gay rights movement. But no reaction has been quite as critical as the one from American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer."*
After the overturn of DOMA and Prop 8, the New Yorker printed a cover of Bert & Ernie watching the landmark decision together on a couch. Most people thought this was cute and moved on with their lives...others did not. Cenk Uygur explores the negative reactions from conservatives and even progressives.
