More quotes by 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
Every American may have equal access to ice cream, but there's no guarantee that the outcome of eating ice cream will be equal.
Dan Savage
We can learn to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about gay people. The same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation.
Dan Savage
I don't write about my life in my column.
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
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
But it doesn't matter what you're doing, it matters how you're doing it.
Dan Savage
the truth is often a mixed message
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
You want to help gay kids, you have to reach them in middle school and high school, when they're being bullied.
Dan Savage
Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives.
Dan Savage
...even if gay marriage were legalized there would still be gay men who didn't want to marry, gay men no other gay men would want to marry, and gay men who didn't want to leave the priesthood in order to marry.
Dan Savage
I wouldn't say that holidays are manufactured by corporations, but they're certainly exploited and mined by them.
Dan Savage
Ultimately life is disease, death and oblivion. It's still better than high school.
Dan Savage
I believe it's in the best interests of a child to be in a stable environment.
Dan Savage
I think it's going to take three or four generations of gay people being able to get married before it starts feeling less like we're going through these motions, that we're aping a heterosexual institution.
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.
