More quotes by 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
Natural isn't something I get called a lot in Texas.
Dan Savage
But it doesn't matter what you're doing, it matters how you're doing it.
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
the truth is often a mixed message
Dan Savage
Christmas can have a real melancholy aspect, 'cause it packages itself as this idea of perfect family cohesion and love, and you're always going to come up short when you measure your personal life against the idealized personal lives that are constantly thrust in our faces, primarily by TV commercials.
Dan Savage
You can’t pray away the gay, but you can torture a conflicted closet case to death.
Dan Savage
A lot of people are living their lives online in much more public ways with Facebook and Twitter.
Dan Savage
You know, my problem is I cant say no to people, especially people who want to write me checks to do things.
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
I'm not a Pollyanna sort of kumbaya type.
Dan Savage
I believe it's in the best interests of a child to be in a stable environment.
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
Really, when it comes to gay rights, there's two wars going on. The first war is political. But the culture war is over.
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
Like it or not children are being raised by gay and lesbian parents all over America - as many as 10 million children. And it does nothing to make their lives more stable and secure to attack their families, to attack their parents to prevent us from marrying each other.
Dan Savage
I don't think that sin and pursuing happiness are not necessarily the same thing.
Dan Savage
every relationship you are in will fail, until one doesn't
Dan Savage
Outing is brutal and it should be reserved for brutes
Dan Savage
You want to help gay kids, you have to reach them in middle school and high school, when they're being bullied.
