Today's unspeakable perversion is tomorrow's kink, is next week's good clean fun
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

Dan Savage
You can’t pray away the gay, but you can torture a conflicted closet case to death.
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
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
every relationship you are in will fail, until one doesn't
Dan Savage
Natural isn't something I get called a lot in Texas.
Dan Savage
You know, my problem is I cant say no to people, especially people who want to write me checks to do things.
