More quotes by Dan Savage

Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives.

I own a lot of my house, because I'm Irish and from people who never owned anything.

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
A lot of people are living their lives online in much more public ways with Facebook and Twitter.
Dan Savage
A lot of kids are bullied because of their sexual identity or expression. It's often the effeminate boys and the masculine girls, the ones who violate gender norms and expectations, who get bullied.
Dan Savage
Today's unspeakable perversion is tomorrow's kink, is next week's good clean fun
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.
