This is the thing that set me on the road of 'On the Balance Of It, Dan Savage Is KInd of an Asshole' because it's such an ugly, nasty piece of writing.

Then why? Why do that? Why decide going with novelty hillbilly teeth is a good character choice?

Are those Limehouses real teeth? Because I've seen the guy playing him in other stuff with more normal looking teeth.

He's apparently taken steps to hide that column and pretend it didn't happen, but it's still cache'd around the place.

A gay activist I met at a party once explained it as 'Politically, all those letters hate one another'

It's not that I object to him having those prejudices. It's that he's served as an advocate for those prejudices.

Between the Transexuals, the Bisexuals and the Muslims, he does publish a lot of 'Why are you all yelling at me for this thing I said' articles.

Go google up Dan Savage, Islam or Islamophobia.

The gaping giant vagina lady was…the chick that the Sonny marrieds bridesmaid.

It's more the idea that because everyone is being shitty to them due to their gayness that's causing the suicide. Which is understandable, with the idea that one you'll have a life where people aren't being shitty to you if you're gay.

Actually, let's put it this way.

That's fine.

Yeah, I'd say that's partially it.

The dude was hawkish, in a way that exactly followed neo-con talking points, until it became a position that was untenable with his readership. But he's spoken about Muslims in ways since than that suggests that, yeah, he's an islamaphobic asshole.

Yeah.

Dude wrote things that would get anyone else pilloried by his supporters, yet people still defend him.

Yeah, that was glib and I apologise.

Dan Savage has written some fairly unpleasent shit on muslims and advocating the invasion of the middle east, which you can find with the google, which kind of suggests the guys social advocacy and empathy only extends to the limits of his personal experience.

Unless you're a muslim in America. Because Dan Savage is there.

The thing I mostly remember about the Gynecologist was that he came off as a patronising asshole. All making snide comments to his abortion doctor friend about how these non-waspy women were all terrified of their vagina's
