Dan Savage

Yep. A few users on EC have posted some of his youtube clips in the Great Thread of Support in the LGBT Rights forum.

 

Love Dan Savage haven't listened to his podcast(although I probably will after reading your post) but ive been reading his articles everyweek<3 Defo recommend people to check this man out.

 

Dan Savage is hilarious! I read his column every week religiously. I also love how he sabotaged Rick Santorum's political career. Genius!

 

I don't listen to his podcasts but I always read his column "Savage Love" every week. And I think I agree with his advice almost all the time, there's a case here and there but rarely do I disagree. He came to UBC to give a talk and I went! It was awesome! It was basically like "Savage Love" but in person. People had written down their questions and he basically spent the entire time reading and answering them, and he would go off on tangents and talk about something related to people's questions sometimes. But I wish more people in the audience had asked questions, because they only asked questions about him rather than asking for advice. Oh well it was good to see him in person at least once.

 

I LOVE DAN SAVAGE. I think he's really great, and hillarious. I can relate to him as I am also opinionated on many things and usually I would give the same advice he gives. Dan Savage can be kindof an asshole to some people, and I really like that. Not enough people tell it like it is. I used to listen to the Savage Lovecast at work (with headphones of course) and I miss it so much, I havent listened to it in a long time.

 

I wanted to go to that at UBC but i could not get out to the campus

*cough* anyways, yea, like most people have said i agree with him on most things, but i disagree with a decent amount of stuff. I still love him, because he does not claim to be some all knowing god. He is very funny and witty though, and always good for a laugh. My sister actually told me about him when i came out to her last year. She now lives in Seattle, so i find myself reading more of the stranger since its Seattle based. But yea, Dan is amazing and a good role model (for the most part haha)

*cough* also, does anyone think he is SMOKING hot? I find him very very attractive...

 

He also does some things for "This American Life" Which is an AMAZING radio show!

 

Oh how I love Dan Savage. I admire his wit, intelligence, and his ability to tell it like it is. I do listen to his Podcasts on Itunes, and I have read the four books he's written, "Savage Love" (a collection of some of what he's written for the Savage Love column), "The Kid," "Skipping Towards Gomorrah," and "The Commitment." I've also signed up for his Youtube video channel. He's a very dynamic and engaging speaker. I also loved the CNN clip where he ripped this conservative a-hole to shreds. Classic.

Don't worry Greggers, I think he's hot too. In fact, I did post a picture of him in the "Hot Guy Game" a few months back. There's something about him that I personally find attractive.

 

How often does Lovecast come out? I know Savage Love comes out every Thursday and I read it right away.

Savage Love is also in the Georgia Straight too! So you can read it in a Vancouver based newspaper if you want. And I too think he is hot

 

Podcast is out every week on tuesday

 

Thanks! :icon_bigg And which website?

If you haven't found it yet ^^

 

Thanks again! I was going to just google it if no one replied by Tuesday.

 

Heh, I just found out that Dan Savage is speaking in person at our university today (we do have a very progressive university! ). I'll have to see if I can still get in.

 

So I just spent 90 minutes listening to Dan Savage answer questions at the University of Manitoba.

Oh... My... God...

That was 90 minutes well spent! This guy is funny as hell, and nothing is off limits. The only thing I couldn't understand was why there were no protesters outside, because if anyone is pushing the buttons of conservative homophobe America it's this guy. Phelps family, where were you?!?

One thing I really like about Dan Savage is how he treats sexuality as a single continuum, where gay and straight sex are just shades of the same thing, sort of like different flavors of ice cream but still ice cream. By treating them equally he makes me feel equal with the straight world, and that's a feeling I don't get too often. So I'm really glad I went.

I wish everyone could hear the answer he gave to the very last question about "reparative therapy" (I had never heard of this before, but it's the idea that homosexuals can be "repaired" and returned to heterosexuality through "therapy"). He was so damn passionate with his answer that it moved every single one of the couple of hundred people that attended, gay and straight. They were making a video of the whole thing so I hope they put this on YouTube so everyone can see it.

 

me *raises hand*

definitely easy on the eyes :lol:

 

Yeah when he came to UBC they filmed the whole thing too. And of course there were no protesters! You're in Winnipeg, Canada! No one protests homosexuality here
