Anyone here ever read/listen to Dan Savage?
Edited on Wed Aug-15-07 07:02 PM by SarahBelle
He writes an adult column and does a podcast. My favorite part is when he puts the "everything but" fundies in their place. :D

2. I think he's very clever, but he did support the war in Iraq.
I think he has softened his position a bit, but here's what he wrote in 2002:

3. I used to link to that "article" he wrote under the heading "Fuck You Dan Savage"
He may have 'apologized' but I still think he's an asshole and should STFU when it comes to the war.

12. I had no clue about that.
I've only been listening to him for the last 6 months. He's been extremely quiet in recent months regarding any war support (embarrassed at past stupidity I hope? :shrug:).

6. i love dan savage.
Edited on Thu Aug-16-07 07:05 AM by lionesspriyanka
he is also highly pragmatic.

on edit: i didnt like his stance on the war and i think his opinion on the risks of oral sex is incorrect.
