More quotes by Dan Savage
The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means that each of us is free to go our own way, even if the ways some of us may choose to go seem sinful or shocking to our fellow citizens.
Dan Savage
Preaching to the choir actually arms the choir with arguments and elevates the choir's discourse. There's a reason the right does it and does it well and triumphs.
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
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
the truth is often a mixed message
Dan Savage
You could fly under the radar a little bit. You could be a weird kid without defaulting to gay, without everyone assuming you must be gay - that was literally the last place many people went.
Dan Savage
I wouldn't say that holidays are manufactured by corporations, but they're certainly exploited and mined by them.
Dan Savage
To be gay is nothing to be proud of. It's in how you are gay that you have something to be proud of, considering the obstacles placed in your path if you are gay.
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
the Bible is only as good and decent as the person reading it.
Dan Savage
every relationship you are in will fail, until one doesn't
Dan Savage
Today's unspeakable perversion is tomorrow's kink, is next week's good clean fun
Dan Savage
If sex isn't an important part of your marriage, you can't beef if your wife or husband does this unimportant thing with somebody else every once in a while, if you have no interest in it.
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
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
A huge part of what animates homophobia among young people is paranoia and fear of their own capacity to be gay themselves.
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.
Dan Savage
I have a thick skin, but I have a heart.
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
A certain tiny percentage of everyone is gay.
