This may just be the most hypocritical reaction yet, when you consider the news story from March in which Dean’s group verbally abused LGBT people to an audience of high school kids. They all ran WEEPING from the room! (Not really, but spread that.) An Eastern Iowa superintendent is doing major damage control after an unexpected message in a school …

Slate writer Amanda Marcotte gets to the root of it: The American right is undertaking a huge project of trying to put right-wing politics beyond criticism by shouting “religious bigotry” any time someone gets in the way of their political agenda. If they can create a consensus that it’s somehow off-limits to criticize teaching that gay people are subhuman as …

“Let me lay down a public challenge to Dan Savage right here and now: You want to savage the Bible? Christian morality? Traditional marriage? Pope Benedict? I’m here, you name the time and the place and let’s see what a big man you are in a debate with someone who can talk back. It’s easy to make high-school girls cry …

This “shocking attack” clip is currently at the top of NOM’s blog. It’s also pretty fucking hilarious. Naughty language within.

Claiming that Dan Savage is the “national leader” of the marriage equality movement (HUH?) NOM has launched a letter campaign to President Obama demanding that he denounce the It Gets Better Campaign. Here’s the text of the letter, which NOM will also send to Congress. I am grateful for the White House’s emphasis on creating a safe and civil school …

Wingnuts sites nationwide are piling on Dan Savage today, none more so than Breitbart.com, which at this writing has devoted the top seven stories on its front page to attacks on Savage from several directions.

“What immediately became a meme amongst those criticizing Dan is that those who walked out of his talk felt bullied by him. But that’s impossible. People get bullied because of who they are: how they look and act, what they say and do. Perceived as being in some critical way weak or lacking, victims of bullies are selected for persecution; …

Yesterday many of the most widely read anti-gay sites in the nation launched a campaign against Dan Savage over comments he made two weeks ago during a speech before the National High School Journalism Conference. After Savage, with his usual frankness, pointed out the hypocrisy with which hate groups cherry-pick anti-gay quotes from the Bible, some of the students got …

Brent “Obama Is A Skinny Ghetto Crackhead” Bozell and his Media Research Center have come out blasting against Dan Savage’s new MTV show. We are a long distance away from a “health” lecture, but that’s exactly the category our media culture awards to the “sex advice columnist.” Savage publicists tout he has the number one “health podcast” at iTunes. Savage …

Dan Savage’s MTV series launches tonight at 11pm. I’ll have clips tomorrow if possible.

“As sick and twisted as Dan Savage’s wicked anti-Santorum hate-site is, you wouldn’t believe the nasty e-mails and tweets I’m getting from fans of Savage! The Libertine Left’s awful demonization of conservatives and especially Bible-believing Christians is finally coming home to roost — because when the Dan Savages and Bill Mahers of the world, and venomous homosexual bloggers like Joe …

“Number One: Dan Savage is a radical and raunchy homosexual activist who gives unhealthy and reckless sex advice. He aggressively works to undermine the historic ethic of marital fidelity by championing the twisted notion that married couples should allow outside sex — like so many ‘monogamish’ homosexual male couples do. Incredibly, Savage argues that this would lower the divorce rate. …

Clip description: In writing TESTIMONY, Stephen Schwartz collaborated with Dan Savage, creator of the groundbreaking “It Gets Better Project.” Schwartz has set the heartfelt words from the “It Gets Better” videos to music, weaving them into a breathtaking, emotional new masterpiece that speaks to anyone who has ever felt out of place. The song urges LGBT youth to hang on, …

“Rick Santorum thinks that women who have been raped should be compelled—by force of law—to carry the babies of their rapists to term, he thinks birth control should be illegal, he wants to prosecute pornographers, etc., etc., basically the guy wants to be president so that he can micromanage the sex lives of all Americans…and I’m the one with issues? …

But why have things changed? “We make more than 500 changes to our algorithms in a typical year,” a spokesman for Google told Yahoo News. “With each of those changes, sites will shuffle to different positions in our search results. We have not manually taken action to change the ranking of the site.” As Search Engine Land notes, the shift …

Dan Savage’s MTV series, Savage U, will launch at 11pm on Tuesday, April 3rd. “Savage U” will air twelve episodes, each focused on a particular campus and its culture. The schools include the University of Maryland, Ohio State University, East Carolina University, Auburn University, the University of Illinois Chicago, Cornell University, the University of Oregon, the University of Central Florida, …

“In this political climate, with ‘conservative’ now synonymous with political homophobia, a man who claims to be a ‘true conservative’ doesn’t just default straight. He defaults bigoted. Conservative voters will assume he holds anti-gay political beliefs and they will expect him to vote anti-gay should he be elected to office. So Sheriff Babeu stood to benefit politically—and may have actively …
