Dan Savage

Dan Savage
I don't write about my life in my column.
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

You almost have to feel that way, doing this.
Dan Savage
No one has ever gone broke underestimating the insecurities of the gay and lesbian consumer.
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
