Who knew GOP presidential candidate approval ratings could lead to awesome, artistic sex toys?

Former President Bill Clinton was jokingly called the “first black president” by author Toni Morrison. Maybe it was because he was “cool” in a way that former presidents never were or maybe it was because he advocated policies that were meant to help disenfranchised African-American voters.
Newsweek magazine, in the spirit of Ms. Morrison, has heralded President Barack Obama has the country's “first gay president” on this week's cover after the president announced last week his "evolution" on same-sex marriage rights.
In case you were hiding under a rock, Obama now supports marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples. The president made the announcement last week in an interview with ABC News.

National LGBT groups are thrilled with President Barack Obama's public support of same-sex marriage as stated today in an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts. And, of course, those who despise Obama and equality for LGBT people are also chiming in with their distaste for the president's historic words.
Those working for marriage equality also noted that while North Carolina suffered a disappointing loss when voters approved a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, there are still ongoing marriage fights currently taking place in Maryland and Washington state.

Southerners on New Ground, which is based in North Carolina and Atlanta, created a video to say it and its members are not defeated by the passage of Amendment 1. The state constitutional amendment states that marriage is only between a man and a woman.
S.O.N.G. works to empower LGBTQ people living in rural areas of the South on such issues as immigration rights and transgender non-discrimination says instead that Amendment 1 unified all people in the state to fight for LGBTQ equality as well as form a movement to work for the rights of all disenfranchised people.

Not even 24 hours old and already activists in North Carolina are pushing to have Amendment One, a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman, overturned.
Some 60 percent of North Carolina voters supported Amendment One on the ballot.
Jenn Halweil, a North Carolina college student, has taken matters into her own hands and has created a petition on Change.org calling for one million people to demand the state supreme court overturn the constitutional amendment.
