I’m loving this series. If you missed it, here’s where Savage took down Tony Perkins.

Dan Savage has launched Straight Up Thanks, a Tumblr site where he invites you to post the photos and stories of our straight allies who were so very important in our unprecedented string of wins last week. WE COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THEM. We are LGBT people who want to thank the straight people who helped us win marriage …

Oh, yes. You WILL enjoy this!

“Before I say anything else—before I say what I dragged myself out of bed to say—let me say this: we did this. LGBT people came out, fought back, and changed the world. There’s a fuck of a lot left to do—repealing DOMA, passing ENDA, completing the repeal of DADT (trans people are still barred from serving in the military), fighting …

“Sue me, Tony. I’d love to see you talk about my ‘issues’ on a witness stand. I realize that this isn’t how you think the world is supposed to work, Tony.

“As my teenagers would say, he has some issues. He is a man with some real deep-seated issues … and Dan Savage is nowhere near, he’s a hundred and eighty degrees from the positions that we have taken. It’s wrong and I will tell you this, we are pursuing everything possible to deal with him because he is out of …

“Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council — First of all, they tell, Tony Perkins tells parents whose kids come out to reject them. Tony Perkins tells the parents of queer kids to do what Tony Perkins damn well knows drives those kids to suicide — doubles their already quadruple rate of suicide. Why would someone who calls themselves a …

“Whether someone punches you in the nose because they really hate you, or they punch you in the nose because they want to impress people who hate you, you still have a broken goddamn nose.”

Christian activist Charles Carter describes his YouTube channel this way: “This channel is dedicated to the issue of Homosexuality as not merely sin but as extra-ordinary sin!! It is a spiritually militant response to a malignant sin. If you are offended by this material, know that it is God’s truth that offends you.” Today Carter warns Dan Savage that God …

In his weekly internet radio show, Peter LaBarbera and his guest hater John Kirkwood glumly conceded that Dan Savage totally won the debate against NOM’s Brian Brownshirt. Jeremy Hooper has the clip at Good As You. Listen and enjoy.

New York Times columnist Mark Oppenheimer says he was pretty much hammered during the debate between Dan Savage and Brian Brown. Terry Miller, Dan’s spouse, came out to offer me a drink. I eagerly accepted. From then on, I did not stop drinking. It started with Terry’s Mai Tai, as Mr. Miller named his fabulous rum drink, and continued with …

The clip was just posted. Let’s watch it together.

NOM has launched a new website dedicated to coverage and reactions of Brian Brown’s dinner with last week. The debate itself has not yet been released.
