Hamilton Nolan · 11/14/11 02:58PMWas R. Crumb's New Yorker Cover on Gay Marriage Worthy of Rejection?
Seth Abramovitch · 11/10/11 10:58PMWhen R. Crumb was commissioned to draw a cover for a June 2009 issue of The New Yorker, he came up with this illustration of a gender-indeterminate couple tying the knot before a city clerk. A sign near them reads, "Gender Inspection," accompanied by a red arrow. The cover, which Crumb had never made public until now, was rejected by New Yorker editor David Remnick, and Crumb responded to the slight by publicly announcing that he'd never work for The New Yorker again.

Brian Moylan · 10/31/11 04:46PMWhen I saw this sign offering $20 for the current issue of The Advocate, the very serious older brother of the gay publishing world, with Adam Lambert on the cover, I thought it was a joke.
