Dan Savage DESTROYS Gay Trump Voter Who Wonders Why He Can't Get Laid

Dan Savage DESTROYS Gay Trump Voter Who Wonders Why He Can’t Get Laid

Featured, Of Interest, Opinions and Rants, , , ,

Over at The Stranger this week Dan Savage schooled, shredded and annihilated a whiny gay Trump supporter who wonders why no one in the gay community will touch his dick with a 10 foot pole. 

I am a 28-year-old gay white male living in Houston, Texas. In the six years since I came out and became sexually active, I have used various apps off and on, for dating and for sex. I like to think I have done my best to be respectful of the people I have slept with. Recently, I have noticed a handful of profiles that explicitly state “I do not sleep with republicans” or “Trump supporters swipe left.”

As you might have guessed by now, these labels apply to me.

I am asking you to set aside the (I imagine) revulsion you feel toward me and think clinically of the choices presented to the object of these proscriptions. So far, I have always blocked, left swiped, or ignored messages from these profiles. This is the most charitable course, and is self-respecting.

However, it is also an ethical requirement? There is nothing that betrays my political affiliation on my profile. If I wanted to sleep with one of these people, I could. I could subsequently reveal my voting history or could vanish without my partner ever becoming wise of it.

I view written proscriptions against groups of people as mean spirited at best, but I think everyone has the right to their own filter (even if I view it as the moral equivalent of a Gryffindor saying “I don’t sleep with Hufflepuffs” – and yes, this is your chance to joke about Slytherin). If I sleep with someone while declining to volunteer information that would have caused them to withdraw consent, am I functionally sleeping with them without their consent? Does the interaction (however satisfying their orgasm) devolve into some sort of rape?

Curious to know if you would also reach this conclusion, how you might weigh it relative to other sexual sins and misdemeanors, and more broadly, how you think those of us on the right should treat our woke counterparts when our paths cross romantically.

 

Sorta Wondering If This Commonly Happens

Mr. Savage was not having it and let it rip.

So first let me say: Fuck you, SWITCH. Fuck you for being part of the racist, sexist problem. Fuck you for your deplorable vote in 2016.

Not quite moving on…

Voting for Donald J. Trump—being a gay Republican—doesn’t make you a “member of a group” that has historically faced “proscriptions,” discrimination, and state-sanctioned violence. It doesn’t make you a “member of a group” in the sense that being gay or person of color or Muslim or an immigrant or trans makes you a “member of a group.” You aren’t a member of a protected class. You aren’t being discriminated against on Grindr, Scruff, Recon, et al, for who you are, SWITCH, but for what you’ve done.

{snip}

So, SWITCH. Honey, baby, darling. The question you should be asking yourself isn’t, “Why won’t some gay men sleep with me?”, but rather, “How on earth do I sleep at night?” (Alone and deservedly so, of course, if you take the question literally. But I don’t mean it literally.)

And for the record, SWITCH: even if Trump weren’t attacking gay men and other queers—and even it hadn’t been abundantly clear before the election that, if elected, Donald Trump would attack gay men and other queers (THE ASSHOLE PICKED MIKE FUCKING PENCE AS HIS RUNNING MATE)—you still shouldn’t have voted him. Even if he weren’t an anti-LGBT bigot, SWITCH, he’s a racist bigot and an anti-Muslim bigot and a sexual predator. You should’ve cared enough about women and people of color and immigrants—many of them queers—to vote against Alternative Universe Pro-LGBT/Anti-Everyone Else Donald J. Trump.

Here in our universe, Trump is attacking queers and it makes sense that queers don’t want to sleep with queers who helped make those attacks possible and continue to support Trump despite them. Someone who puts “no fats, no femmes, no Asians, no blacks” on your profile? That gay guy is mean spirited and that shit is unnecessary. (There are kinder ways to express your precious “preferences,” guys.) Someone who puts “no Trump supporters” on his profile? That gay guy doesn’t want to be alone in a room with someone who approves of gay bashing and who can blame him.

There is MORE so I suggest you head over to Dan’s column and check it out.  It’s deeeeeelicious.

Dan Savage Bitchslaps Log Cabin Republican Quislings: Get Your Tongues Out Of Donald Trump’s Ass

“The Log Cabin Republicans have been working to “transform the GOP from the inside” for forty years and not only hasn’t it gotten better, it’s gotten worse. The 2016 Republican Platform, adopted today without a peep of protest from Log Cabin Republicans, is worse on LGBT issues than any Republican Party Platform in history. Worse than the GOP platform in 1980, when the religious right was ascendent; worse than the GOP platform in 1984, when AIDS hysteria was at its peak; worse than the GOP platform in 1992, when delegates to the RNC were waving “Family Values Forever! Gay Rights Never!” signs on the floor of the convention in Houston. Worst. Platform. Ever. Log Cabin Republicans spent months wriggling their tongues up Donald Trump‘s ass and this is the thanks they get.”

“Whatever the Log Cabin Republicans think they’re doing “inside” the Republican Party, it isn’t working, it’s never worked, and they need to stop pretending it’ll ever work. GOP.”

“You can affiliate yourself with the GOP or you can advocate for equal rights for LGBT people. You can’t do both at once—and anyone who claims to be doing both is lying.” – Dan Savage via The Stranger

Dan Savage Slams The Duggar Clan: The “Hypocrisy” Is Staggering – Video

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , , ,

Dan Savage appeared on MSNBC Friday Night to discuss the unfolding drama and hypocrisy surrounding reality TV’s Duggar clan in the wake of allegations that Josh Duggar sexually abused five underage girls.

“Particularly when religious conservatives want to talk about it, they want to point a finger at non-family. They want to point a finger at people that they define as the enemies of families or not from or having families of their own – LGBT people, particularly trans people increasingly with these anti-trans bathroom bills. And that is what the Duggars have dug in on is attacking trans people and opposing this LGBT civil rights bill in Fayetteville where they were out there arguing that the threat to little girls in Fayetteville were transwomen when they knew, when they were covering for someone who had demonstrated, at least at that age, was a threat to little girls himself.

Also lets remember that Discovery/TLC had to know as early as 2006, because that’s when the family went on the Oprah Winfrey Show to promote their TLC show, and Oprah’s staff alerted law enforcement after a tipster alerted them. A full investigation was done, but charges weren’t filed because it was after the statute of limitations.

WATCH: The Official Trailer for Dan Savage’s ABC Sitcom “The Real O’Neals”, FRC’s Tony Perkins Responds (And She’s PISSED!)

The Real ONeals

 

Dan Savage’s sitcom The Real O’Neals is a go for ABC this fall. The story centers around a good Catholic boy who tries to skirt around the issue of being gay before finally coming out to his extremely dysfunctional family.

Meanwhile in Christo-fascist land Tony Per-KKK-ins is incensed.  INCENSED I tells you!   That ABC would allow an “x-rated gay sex columnist” who has a “legacy of bioterrorism and death threats” to have a sitcom on the Disney owned channel Tand is promoting  a petition for ABC to cancel the show.

“What does an X-rated gay sex columnist have in common with Walt Disney? Nothing. And that’s exactly the problem. Most Americans have probably never heard of Dan Savage, but unfortunately, that’s all about to change this fall. Despite massive outcry — thousands of phone calls, emails, and petition signers — Disney’s ABC is taking its LGBT activism to new lows with plans to bring the controversial Christian-basher to life in a sitcom called The Real O’Neals. The trailer is already worse than anyone could imagine. When the show isn’t mocking Christians, it’s celebrating homosexuality. It’s a savage, if you will, caricature of a Catholic family and the Faith, where the parents are divorcing, one son has anorexia, the daughter runs a fake charity, and the son pictured in the middle is gay. Oh, and there’s a Virgin Mary statue over the toilet. While the Left is counting the days until the comedy airs, Savage’s real-life legacy of bioterrorism and death threats is no joking matter.”

Hey Tony!  I’m pretty sure more people know who Dan Savage is then who know who Tony Perkins is.

Watch the trailer for The Real O’Neals below.

 

FRC Hate Group Leader Tony Perkins Is Verklempt That “Vulgar Athiest” Dan Savage Is Getting A TV Show

Tony Perkins Bobblehead

 

As we all know by now ABC TV has picked up a pilot created and executive produced by Dan Savage.  And while the show itself remains untitled, but we do have a few details.

According to the Hollywood Reporter:

On the comedy side, the untitled Savage comedy is a single-camera semi-autobiographical entry based on the LGBT activist/boundary-pushing columnist’s life. It centers on a picture-perfect family that is turned upside down when the youngest son comes out of the closet. What seems like the end of their idyllic life turns out to be the beginning of a bright new chapter when everyone stops pretending to be perfect and actually starts being real. Savage is responsible for organizing the It Gets Better photo campaign following the passage of Prop. 8 and numerous other anti-gay legislation.

Well the Family Research Council’s Grand Dragon, I mean “President” Tony Per-KKK-ins is SHOCKED at the fact that a “vulgar” and “athiest homosexual” like our Danny boy will be allowed on television to push the dreaded “homosexual agenda.

“Dan Savage says ‘it gets better,’ but don’t be surprised if viewers get bitterafter ABC’s newest program. The Disney-owned network, for years a shill for the LGBT agenda, is taking their activism to amazing lows with its plans to bring the controversial ‘sex therapist’ to life in a regular feature. His dark and vile attacks on Christians have been well chronicled by Savage himself (so vulgar most are unprintable). Lately, though, the open atheist homosexual has taken a break from harassing high schoolers and Republicans to focus on this new fall sitcom, which, producers say, ‘will follow the younger years of Savage’s life and the experiences of his family following his decision to come out of the closet.’ As desperate as the networks are to out-shock the competition, does ABC really want a pilot show based on an anti-Christian bully like Dan Savage?” – Hate group leader Tony Perkins, via email

Perhaps Tony is a bit jealous.  But I hear American Horror Story is looking into adding plotline on his life in Season 5.

Kirk Cameron is slated to play Perkins.

Dan Savage On Suicide Of Trans Teen Leelah Alcorn: Her Parents Should Be Prosecuted For Murder

Meanwhile, last night hundreds of people gathered for a candlelight vigil for Leelah in Ohio.

CNN got a brief quote from Leelah’s mother who still refuses to recognize Leelah’s gender as female.

When Josh Alcorn voiced a desire to live as a girl, the Ohio teenager’s parents said they wouldn’t stand for that. “We don’t support that, religiously,” Alcorn’s mother told CNN Wednesday, her voice breaking. “But we told him that we loved him unconditionally. We loved him no matter what. I loved my son. People need to know that I loved him. He was a good kid, a good boy.” Crossing out the name “Josh,” the 17-year-old signed the name “Leelah” in a suicide note posted to Tumblr. The note was programmed to publish after Alcorn’s death Sunday. The teenager was struck by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 71 around 2:15 a.m., about four miles from home in the tiny town of Kings Mills, northeast of Cincinnati. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the death as a suicide.

Leelah Alcorn’s tortured yet eloquent Tumblr account has been deleted. It is unknown if this was done by the request of her family.

 

FRC’s Tony Perkins: You Live In Fear Of My HATERPOLOOZA Values Voters Summit

 

In a press release yesterday white supremacist-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins sent out a post crowing about his annual HATERPALOOZER Values Voters Summit which begins today with a guest cast straight from hell including: Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Alan West, Sandy Rios, Todd Stames and of course whittle Tony himself.

“Pop Quiz: What annual event has the Left so worried that they are spending tens of thousands in advertising dollars to stop? You guessed it; the Values Voters Summit. In the Washington Post, leftwing groups including GLAAD, (known for its failed campaign to fire Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson,) the anti-Christian Southern Poverty Law Center, and the George Soros-funded ‘Faithful America,’ signed onto a three-quarters page ad demanding that speakers ‘not attend the Values Voter Summit.’ The ad complains that I described homosexual activist Dan Savage’s attacks on Christians as ‘disgusting.’ I believe most people would be hard pressed to disagree with my assertion. The Left is clearly discouraged by the effectiveness of the Values Voter Summit and is willing to fork over a lot of money to stifle speech they disagree with.”

Actually the exact quote that Dan Savage memorably said in the Washington Post was, “Tony Perkins sits on a pile of dead kids.”

That is the truth and thats your legacy, Tony.

 

Dan Savage Calls Jo Becker’s Book Forcing The Spring “Bullshit” and “Appalling”

Dan Savage

During an interview with HuffPost Live’s Josh Zepps about his upcoming Hump! Tour, an amateur porn film festival, Dan Savage went off on Jo Becker’s (and who are we kidding Chad Griffin and HRC’s) new book “Forcing The Spring: Inside the Fight for Marriage Equality,”

“The book has been universally condemned by people all across the ideological spectrum in the gay community.

It’s really kind of a case of sort of theft, a theft of credit. The book is a lie, a lie to its readers, it’s a misrepresentation, and the treatment of [marriage equality activists] … is appalling  This is a bullshit Washington history, and it will not stand, and the community — the gay community — is united in opposition to it.”

That’s what I like about Dan Savage. Always so soft spoken.

Illinois Family Institute Hate Group Compares Dan Savage To Abortion and the Holocaust

Laurie Higgins IFI

 

The former home hate-group of “Porno Pete” Peter LaBarbera, The Illinois Family Institute (the state affiliate of the American Family Association) now led by B-list hate monger Laurie Higgins  is responding to supporters who are angry that Higgin’s  urged her group’s members to watch a video of Dan Savage’s “repugnant” appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher last summer.

“Why view photos from Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen? Why view photos of lynchings? Why view photos of aborted babies? Why view the photo of the young napalmed Vietnamese girl? Why view photos of animals caught in steel leg traps or baby seals bludgeoned to death? Aren’t these images shocking and obscene? I am not equating the enormity of the evil of the Holocaust and the American genocide of pre-born babies to that of the homosexuality-affirming movement. I am, rather, illuminating the necessity of occasionally viewing the evil in our midst about which humans have a remarkable capacity to delude themselves. As Christians, however, we should remain conscious of the fact that a life of unrepentant homoerotic activity will result in eternal separation from God. How do we measure the magnitude of temporal suffering relative to that of eternal suffering?”

Its amazing that Laurie Higgins and her ilk are way more obsessed with my sex life than I am.

Dan Savage appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher to discuss gay issues in the news including same sex marriage being signed into law in Illionois, Alec Baldwin, “kiddie-fucking Catholic priests”,  and “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary” Cheney and her wife who Dan calls out as “two rich dykes”  who have never give a fuck about anyone else’s gay marriage before as they continue to support and donate to anti-gay GOP politicians.
