“I have no beef with evangelical Christians who support full civil equality for gays and lesbians despite believing that gay sex is a sin. Heck, I’ll personally mow the lawns of evangelical Christians who refrain from actively persecuting gays and lesbians. I’ve said that the gay rights movement shouldn’t get into arguments about theology and that people have a right …

Tonight Keith Olbermann laid out exactly how Ken Mehlman worked with the religious right in 2004 to get gay marriage on the ballot in eleven states. Dan Savage joins Olbermann to point out that Mehlman also said nothing when gay men were being murdered “with impunity” in Iraq after the Bush invasion.

Description: “It’s packed with pretty much everything that he does- his columns from the past 5 years (searchable by category…hello Adult Babies!) a question/answer of the day, all his podcasts, a collection of videos, and more.” Get it at the link.

Last night Olbermann and Savage talked about all those Hitler loving, soldier-raping, AIDS-carrying gays that the AFA and FRC have been warning you about. And then they get into John McCain’s announced plan to filibuster the Senate vote and bring the entire repeal effort crashing down.

“Malawi is dependent on foreign aid—most of it from Britain and the US—and that aid should be withdrawn. The government of Malawi should be told that it can have its rabid anti-gay bigotry or it can it can have foreign aid. But it can’t have both.” – Dan Savage, responding to the 14 year sentence of a gay couple in …

With Dan Savage, Amanda Bearse, and the author himself.

Dan Savage mints another one.

Dan Savage is promoting May 20th as the “First Annual Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” in reaction to the death threats made against the creators of South Park. It was nice knowing you, Mr. Savage.

“Three shark in attacks in Florida, million of sharks in the ocean, and no one will go in the water. Hundreds and thousands of children raped in churches and people still send their kids to church. It’s crazy. You should be sending your kids to gay bars. There they will be be safe.” – Dan Savage, speaking on his latest …

“When it first started, I just wanted to take my girlfriend to prom, you know? I thought it might make the local news and maybe help future LGBT students at Itawamba because hopefully they wouldn’t have to put up with what I did. I sure didn’t expect any of this kind of attention. [snip] “Anytime I feel like this is …

Dan Savage blasts back with some Bible verses of his own.

Expanding on Dan Savage’s comments about monogamy on her HLN show last night, on today’s episode of The View Joy Behar suggested that gays in general are less concerned that their partners remain faithful. Both Whoopi and Elisabeth Hasselbeck (!) warned against such blanket statements. I imagine that many here will condemn Behar, but at least regarding gay men, in …

Dan Savage appeared on Keith Olbermann’s show last night to rebut Fox anchor Brit Hume’s claim that if Tiger Woods had only been a Christian, he wouldn’t be the cheating pussy hound that he is. Classic Dan Savage.

“Twenty-five years ago, at the height of the AIDS crisis, there were hundreds—thousands—of gay men walking around with two or three T cells and six-months-or-less to live. The religious right was doing what it always does: it’s worst, demonizing gay people, kicking us when we were down, attacking us on the airwaves and in Congress, and neglecting us to death …

Archdiocese of Portland employee and Stand For Marriage spokesdouche Marc Mutty says the vote in Maine “had nothing to do with hate.” Dan Savage: “It definitely had everything to do with hate. The Yes On One campaign trafficked in vicious anti-gay stereotypes throughout the entire campaign. Their whole campaign was premised upon the notion that allowing same-sex couples to legally …

“This boy has been out to his family since age 12 and when he wanted to go out in drag on Halloween and his mother made his costume and his dad took him to West Hollywood. There’s just one comment on the post at YouTube right now and it’s from Elliott: ‘Dad let me upload this :D’ His dad let …

Dan Savage and NYC activist Corey Johnson joined Anderson Cooper last night to discuss the passage of the Matthew Shepard Act. Savage calls the bill’s passage significant but a “largely symbolic” move that will give the Obama administration “cover” for future inaction. Corey Johnson agrees, pointing out that the hate crimes bill has had broad support in Congress for “many, …

“People don’t go to demonstrations or marches to be talked to death, they don’t go to be harangued, they don’t go to listen—God forbid—to poetry. They show up because they want to do something, they want to do something themselves, they want to take symbolic action. Part of what made ACT-UP so successful back before it was overrun by the …
