Dan Savage Glitterbombed in Eugene, OR

"....rich white cis gay man". what does that mean? Couldn't you have instead been part of the Q&A? I'm glad you wasted time zeroing in on the essentials here....

Obviously, the last commenter has no idea who Dan Savage is. I've noticed that obstructionists work full time here to discredit the courageous work of leftists.

Dan Savage is the worst of the hate speech advocates. He endorses genocide in his language and attitudes. He uses language and metaphors that have been used throughout history to encourqage massacres and hate policies.

Glitter is a lot nicer than what he deserves.

If Dan Savage is indeed guilty of "language" and "attitude" crimes, why did these wimps stop at glitter? Are we gonna let this un-closeted gay activists speak in public? Let's smear his name with made up charges and tell everyone he's a Republican!

Please post some of the offensive things he has said. Actual quotes will help your case!

I think if you're going to accuse someone of "endorsing genocide" you owe it to people to provide something to back that up.

Out of all of the people in the world, you choose Dan Savage to glitterbomb? Dan Savage?! I guarantee you have not made ANY new fans picking on arguably the highest profile gay rights activist in the country. Just stupid.

is there not a eugene indymedia source? searched online for this article and (it's been picked up by lots of magazines) but they all link back to pdx indymedia. is there not a eugene indymedia?

""Dan Savage is the worst of the hate speech advocates?""

Really? That is some of the most disgusting hyperbole I have ever heard. In contrast to folks like the Family Research Council, or conservative elected officials who deny the existence of Queer or Trans identity here and in other countries, it is downright ignorant (at best) to say that he is the worst hate speech advocate.

If you hate him because he is a prominent gay figure with some outdated views, or because of his identity politics, then say so, but don't exaggerate when there are Queer folk in the parts of this country who are dealing with REAL hate speech everyday.

I would also love to see some quotations in which Dan Savage uses hate speech (not directed at the religious right, of course). I've been a fairly regular Savage Love reader for years and I don't recall a single instance in which he seemed transphobic or oppressive. Please correct me with specific incidences.

f you are a fan of this insensitive MTV pundit's work, you will probably find his views and language amusing. it should be obvious that he is not a very open minded person, and his rhetoric expresses this thoroughly. I think this is a perfectly reasonable action from one member of the LGBT community to another and I do hope he opens his eyes to how his smug self-righteousness is felt by the people he claims to represent. An apology for things he actually did would be proper, but as with most self-assured celebrities, it is always about defending his image as an infallible being of reason.

"It was 8 years ago that he titled a column "Bad Tranny" where he admonished a trans woman for coming out, it was only two years ago that he used the term "shemale" to refer to trans women. Just one year ago, several weeks in succession, first when a caller discusses watching trans porn, he admits that he knows he shouldn't use either derogatory term, but declares that it's okay to do so when referencing porn and proceeds to joyfully sling around the word "tranny" ten times in about two minutes and tosses in "shemale" a few times for good measure. Then repeats his previous assertion that men who are attracted to trans women cannot be considered completely straight. A week later he verbally thrashes a trans person who got upset at being mispronouned. Then finally, he reassures a man who likes women with strap-ons that he is 100% straight as long as the cock that he's attracted to is attached to a woman - which apparently means he doesn't consider trans women to be women, or else he would have said the same thing to the guy who watches trans porn."

wrong savage. I meant Michael--of Savage Nation. Sorry!

"Saint Dan" has shown himself to be rather selective in exactly whom in the LGBTQ+ Community he "approves" of.

He is a well-know biphobe and a long time heavy-duty cheerleader within the so-called "Gay Purity" faction of the LGBTQ+ Community to deny the rights of, the dignity of and the very existence of bisexual people -- thought lately he has been forced by members of the Bisexual Community to (very grudgingly and with exceedingly bad grace) retract some of his more egregious statements.

As New York State's openly Bisexual Assemblyman Micah Kellner said, "I've found that because the gay community treats us poorly that enables the straight community to do the same, because their gay friends have de facto sanctioned it.". Dan Savage is a prime example of a gay man who has more than given permission to the mainstream straight culture to continue to embrace biphobia and bisexual erasure.

"he ridicules those who point out his transphobic actions, depicts them as over-sensitive, irrational, and so forth"

This is a perfect example the ideology of a rape-apologist. The emotions of any person who feels they are being discriminated against are not something that should be ignored. Note that only God and those who consider themselves to be God are 'infallible'. Why does this loser get any attention at all?

I wish he would share some of his food. I could share health and workout tips and we could both be better for it. I don't understand this elitist society.

I first became aware of Savage long ago, during the Bosnia war. I recall Savage's repulsive comments in which he tried to contrive as many different ways as he could of laughing at the mass murder of Bosnians. One of his "humorous"gibes was "dying like Bosnians" instead of "dying like flies". Bosnians are not flies. But Savage is an Islamophobe.

I think you're confusing Michael Savage with Dan Savage. Dan Savage is the guy who edits the Seattle Stranger, has a wicked sense of humor, and could very well be disliked by some in the gay community, for reasons I do not know. He's also adamantly pro-Israeli-state.

Sometimes he is really funny.

Is this seriously a case of mistaken identity here?

either way, YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT BE OFFENDED! In america you can say what you want. even if it is offensive. What a bunch of babies! (ageist)

Do unto others as youd have them do unto you. aka tolerate their differences and love our freedoms and enjoy your right to live how you want and not have to hide or apologize.

wow what a lynch mob here. just a bunch of hyper sensitive me-monsters. (no disrespect to monsters)

So when Dan said that men who are attracted to trans-women aren't completely straight, somebody here was offended? Because being called "not completely straight" is an insult to you? Don't let the internalized homophobia bite you in the butt here or anything...

We face real problems in the world, and Dan Savage isn't one of them.

I was unwilling to use the word "douchebag" as an insult for a long time, because I don't use insults that are tied to essentialist beliefs about sex, gender, or sexuality ("pussy," "dick," "bitch," et cetera). I was never quite sure how douchebag fit into that protocol, but I figured better safe than sorry. That was up until a friend noted that she uses it freely, 'cause calling someone a douchebag is tantamount to saying that person is terrible for women. After that, I took to using it frequently and with glee; it's like saying "you sexist!" except there's no moment of "huh?" for most people--it's immediately understood as insulting. I'm trying to spread that understanding of it, so more and more people recognize the core of the insult as "you are awful for women--fuck you!"

Hollywood is notoriously difficult on older women, but as Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon have proved, there is nothing at all to fear about being seasoned.
Sarandon, 65, has watched herself mature on the big screen for decades. Now starring alongside Jason Segel, Ed Helms and Judy Greer in this month's comedy "Jeff, Who Lives At House," the actress reveals what she's learned about aging gracefully inside thebusin
"The point that I finally told my daughter, which dawned on me at one point, was that you must adore your imperfections, simply because that's what tends to make you you," Sarandon says. "Not that I'd be so eager to jump about with my clothes off at this point in my life, but understanding that your face is you, and whatever your anxieties are, don't take it out on your physique." This is not to say that she's opposed to cosmetic enhancements - within reason.
If a single goes that route, Sarandon says, "Try to maintain who you might be...You do not wish to appear like you are 20 when you are 60. That's why you've work on what's on the inside, since which is what is going to create the difference."

Avalanches killed at least 37 men and women Tuesday in a remote northeastern province of Afghanistan and officials feared the death toll would rise.
About 20 homes had been smothered with snow within the village of Shirinazen in Badakshan province, said Abdul Maroof Raseq, spokesman for the governor.
He stated females and young children were among the dead and a minimum of six other individuals had been injured.
The Badakshan governor, who was stranded by the avalanches, was taken by helicopter to neighboring Tajikistan, which was simpler to reach than nearby areas of Afghanistan.Afghans happen to be suffering via a brutal winter with bitterly cold temperatures and heavy snowfall.
