More quotes by Dan Savage
I'm allergic to dogs, so I couldn't even adopt what gay men typically adopt when they have that maternal gene.
Dan Savage
A huge part of what animates homophobia among young people is paranoia and fear of their own capacity to be gay themselves.
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
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
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
Relationships are monuments build on lies
Dan Savage
No one has ever gone broke underestimating the insecurities of the gay and lesbian consumer.
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
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
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
Books are magic: you never know where they're going to end up.
Dan Savage
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
The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads during the Civil War and justified it.
Dan Savage
You could fly under the radar a little bit. You could be a weird kid without defaulting to gay, without everyone assuming you must be gay - that was literally the last place many people went.
Dan Savage
You want to help gay kids, you have to reach them in middle school and high school, when they're being bullied.
Dan Savage
the Bible is only as good and decent as the person reading it.
