More quotes by Dan Savage
the truth is often a mixed message
Dan Savage
A lot of people are living their lives online in much more public ways with Facebook and Twitter.
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
I feel like I'm a compassionate guy, but I also feel if somebody's grip on life or sanity is so tenuous that a joke in an advice column that usually is nothing but jokes pushes them over the edge, then if not me, it would have been a leaf blowing past them that did it, or something else. You almost have to feel that way, doing this.
Dan Savage
Actual gay people can make many others feel uncomfortable and paranoid because they don't know and can't articulate what makes a person gay, and they worry that maybe they themselves are gay.
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.
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
We can learn to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about gay people. The same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation.
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
Today's unspeakable perversion is tomorrow's kink, is next week's good clean fun
Dan Savage
I believe it's in the best interests of a child to be in a stable environment.
Dan Savage
To be gay is nothing to be proud of. It's in how you are gay that you have something to be proud of, considering the obstacles placed in your path if you are gay.
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
No one has ever gone broke underestimating the insecurities of the gay and lesbian consumer.
Dan Savage
I wouldn't say that holidays are manufactured by corporations, but they're certainly exploited and mined by them.
Dan Savage
So while gun owners are always saying that owning guns is about defending freedom, the only freedom gun owners seem interested in defending with their guns is the freedom to defend their freedom to own guns.
Dan Savage
The only way to get gay issues off the front pages of Canadian newspapers is to grant gay and lesbian people our full civil equality and leave it alone.
Dan Savage
I don't write about my life in my column.
Dan Savage
Books are magic: you never know where they're going to end up.
Dan Savage
...even if gay marriage were legalized there would still be gay men who didn't want to marry, gay men no other gay men would want to marry, and gay men who didn't want to leave the priesthood in order to marry.
Dan Savage
