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
I have a thick skin, but I have a heart.
Dan Savage
My husband Terry and I are mostly monogamous. . . . There are times — certain set and limited circumstances — when it is permissible for us to have sex with others.
Dan Savage

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
Ultimately life is disease, death and oblivion. It's still better than high school.
Dan Savage
You can’t pray away the gay, but you can torture a conflicted closet case to death.
Dan Savage
