Deviant Art's contest to mash the now familiar Shep Fairey poster "Love Unites" has attracted tons of entries.

But, just as love can unite, art can incite. Let us know what you think of the layers of issues here–from marriage equality to broader social justice and the fine point all this puts on fair use and ownership of images and creative work.
