Dan Savage
  • Most Americans don't care about gay marriage.

  • My dad was a homicide cop in the gay neighborhood in the city when gay neighborhoods were desperate, depressing, sad places run by the mob. The only gay people he'd met when I came out to him were corpses.

  • I got picked on a lot, even by teachers too. I liked to listen to musicals and bake, and my homeroom teacher found out and mocked me in front of the whole class for baking.

  • Really, when it comes to gay rights, there's two wars going on. The first war is political. But the culture war is over.

  • The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads in the Civil War and justified it.
