But it doesn't matter what you're doing, it matters how you're doing it.
Dan Savage
Sedaris, in his essay in the It Gets Better book, writes that when he was growing up nobody called him gay because you might as well have called him a warlock. Nobody knew what gay was.
Dan Savage
every relationship you are in will fail, until one doesn't
Dan Savage
If kids got raped at Denny's as often as they get raped at church it would be illegal to take your kids to Denny's.
Dan Savage
I got picked on a lot, even by teachers too. I liked to listen to musicals and bake, and my homeroom teacher found out and mocked me in front of the whole class for baking.
Dan Savage
I think the best thing for you to do is just live your life. Live a life that's worth living, one where you do what you want to do, pursue your passions. That way, if you meet someone, they'll be joining a life that's already really good.
Dan Savage
And that really captures the difference for the bullied straight kid versus the bullied gay kid, is that the bullied straight kid goes home to a shoulder to cry on and support and can talk freely about his experience at school and why he's being bullied. [...] And I couldn't go home and open up to my parents.
Dan Savage
I have a thick skin, but I have a heart.
Dan Savage
You know, my problem is I cant say no to people, especially people who want to write me checks to do things.

Sometimes I talk to religious people about my column or what I do, and I ask them to, you know, read 20 or 30 of them and then come tell me that the message at the heart of every column isn't, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' In every possible sense.
Dan Savage
We all have our scars. That's what falling is love is all about: revealing your scars to somebody who then loves you anyway.
Dan Savage
We're living through an age of irrationality and religious fervor I would call it religious idiocy. It's exhausting to year after year be on the receiving end of this demagoguery.
Dan Savage
My husband Terry and I are mostly monogamous. . . . There are times — certain set and limited circumstances — when it is permissible for us to have sex with others.
Dan Savage
The cultural expectation should be if there's infidelity, the marriage is more important than fidelity.
Dan Savage
My dad was a homicide cop in the gay neighborhood in the city when gay neighborhoods were desperate, depressing, sad places run by the mob. The only gay people he'd met when I came out to him were corpses.
Dan Savage
I think it's going to take three or four generations of gay people being able to get married before it starts feeling less like we're going through these motions, that we're aping a heterosexual institution.
Dan Savage
The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means that each of us is free to go our own way, even if the ways some of us may choose to go seem sinful or shocking to our fellow citizens.
Dan Savage
the truth is often a mixed message
Dan Savage
The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads during the Civil War and justified it.
Dan Savage
Pride became this dogma which meant you couldn't criticize anything gay - if you were the least bit critical of gay culture or people or any gay person doing any gay thing, that was an insufficient display of pride. You were suffering from internalized homophobia. As opposed to external homophobia.
