Dan Savage is one of the wisest, sanest people in America today. Watch this short clip where he makes the case for Christian people who are pro-gay rights to stand up for what they believe in to “right-wing fundamentalist bat-shit crazy douchebag Christians” like Tony Perkins and Bryan Fischer, and in their own churches and communities.

Proud to share a county with an evolved fellow like Dan Savage. He’s a good citizen and I really admire him. Bravo, sir!

Dan Savage asks CNN: Why all the bigots and haters in the name of ‘objectivity’?

 
Commenting on the shocking findings on gay hate crimes from the Southern Poverty Law Center, author, sex advice columnist and co-founder of the “It Gets Better” project, Dan Savage eloquently calls out CNN and the rest of the mainstream news media for giving TV time to hateful assholes like Tony Perkins in the name of some supposed “objectivity.” As if, says Savage, there were two legitimate sides to the issue of gay and lesbian rights.

Bravo! Once again I find myself filled with intense admiration for the numerous ways Dan Savage influences our culture. If he didn’t exist, we’d be forced to invent him.

A very happy birthday wish to the awesome Dan Savage, sex advice columnist and LGBT activist extraordinaire.

Happy birthday Dan, thank you for being you!.

Below, Dan Savage is asked about the “weirdest letter” he’s ever received doing his sex advice column. The punch line is hilarious:

Rick Santorum’s Anal Sex Problem

image
 
So much poetic justice in the world of far Right fucktards today, isn’t there? First the good news about anti-Islamic hate blogger Pamela Geller getting served with a well-deserved lawsuit alleging character defamation, then this hilarious news about Republican idiot Rick Santorum’s problem with… his Google ranking.  You see, if you google Santorum’s name (go ahead, try it) you won’t get to his official website, instead you’ll get to SpreadingSantorum.com, which explains, according to Mother Jones magazine, “that Santorum’s last name is a sexual neologism for “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.”

Santorum’s problem got its start back in 2003, when the then-senator from Pennsylvania compared homosexuality to bestiality and pedophilia, saying the “definition of marriage” has never included “man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be.” The ensuing controversy prompted syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage, who’s gay, to start a contest, soliciting reader suggestions for slang terms to “memorialize the scandal.” The winner came up with the “frothy mixture” idea, Savage launched a website, and a meme was born. Even though mainstream news outlets would never link to it, Savage’s site rose in the Google rankings, thanks in part to bloggers who posted Santorum-related news on the site or linked to it from their blogs. Eventually it eclipsed Santorum’s own campaign site in search results; some observers even suggested it may have contributed to Santorum’s crushing 18-point defeat in his 2006 campaign against Bob Casey

.

Bad luck for Santorum, who seems to be making plans to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 (dream on buddy), here’s another link to SpeadingSantorum.com. Please help spread around a lil’ more Santorum yourself, won’t you, by posting this to your Facebook page and Twitter?
