At first the photographer said he was cool with it then after the election he about faces. Screw them.

Well, the photographer doesn't own the rights to the image, and he's not the one suing.

Who knows, but that sounds like a really gay book.

He never signed his AP contract for that event apparently.

Anything done by Rolling Stone is gay, unless it's old 60s-70s issues.

4 instance, recently they had a whole Jonas Brothers special issue.
