Dan Savage is a syndicated sex-advice columnist^[4] for the Seattle Stranger and founder of the It Gets Better Project who has engaged in various campaigns to promote homosexuality alias sodomy and to smear conservatives and Christians. His hedonist propaganda disguised as an “anti-bullying activism” has been supported by dozens of influential politicians (Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton), celebrities (Justin Bieber, Tom Hanks) and corporations (Google, Apple).^[5] Similarily to nazi propaganda minister Goebbels during the era of the Third Reich, who was famous of his crude and vulgar hate speeches against his political opponents,^[6][7] Savage employs “a vulgar, profanity-laced attack on Christians.”^[3] Savage's own life became a symbol of what happens when vice is embraced and virtue is abandoned. Rather than maturing into a happy, healthy, well-adjusted adult, he's devolved into a man so filled with hate that he'll bully teenagers and lick doorknobs to spite his ideological enemies.^[5]

Gary Bauer

In the year 2000, in revenge for comments Bauer made, Savage infiltrated Bauer's campaign with the intent to infect Bauer with the flu (which Savage had at the time) by doing such things as licking doorknobs he thought Gary Bauer may touch.^[8] He also illegally voted in the Iowa caucus despite not being an Iowa resident, and was thus arrested on misdemeanor charges and sentenced to 50 hours of community service and a year's probation.^[9][10]

Rick Santorum

After Santorum's statements on homosexuality^[11] in 2003, Dan Savage urged his readers to find another, less flattering definition for "santorum." After such a definition was chosen, Savage created a site called spreadingsantorum.com (not appropriate) and had instigated a Google-bombing campaign placing it as the first result given for every search.^[12] Savage later instigated a similar but ultimately unsuccessful campaign against Rick Warren.

It Gets Better

After a spike in news reports on gay youth suicides, Dan Savage started the It Gets Better project. The point of the project is to make videos assuring gay youths that their lives will improve after high school and college, and that bullying experienced for being gay will subside or be overcome by positive experiences.

In January 2012, Vox Day reported that two gay teens who had made videos for the It Gets Better Project died by suicide (see also: Mental Health and Homosexuality).^[13] Vox Day also indicated that it doesn't get better and that homosexual propagandists promote an immoral and deviant lifestyle (see: Homosexuality and choice and Ex-homosexuals).^[13] The inescapable fact is that for those who follow Savage's advice, it won't “get better.”

The It Gets Better Project for which Savage receved a special recognition award during the 15th annual Webby Awards in New York on the June 13, 2011,^[3] is currently a national embarrassment. In 2012, homosexual activist Dan Savage was supposed to deliver an anti-bullying message to high school students. However, as many as 100 students walked out on his speech as he shouted vulgarities about the Bible and mocked Christians.^[14][15] It was reported that Savage engaged in verbal bullying as well.^[15] In his effort to defend sexual perversions, Savage purported in his Anti-Christian slur that "We can learn to ignore the bullsh*t in the Bible and what it says about gay people," and then claimed "The bible guys in the hall can come back now because I'm done beating up the bible."^[16]

Although the Student journalism should not according to the National Scholastic Press Association and Journalism Education Association "shy away from controversial topics and viewpoints", it should still promote and engage in civil discourse, a standard that Savage’s speech fell short of.^[3]

Personal life

Savage was raised as one of four children of a cop and a homemaker in ethnic-Irish Chicago. He spent some time in Catholic school, and his writing bears scant traces of the church’s stark moral clarity, most notable in his impatience with postmodern or queer theorizing or anything that might overturn the centrality of the stable nuclear family. He is not a churchgoer, but liberal media describe him as "a cultural Catholic".^[12] In 2005, an open homosexual, Savage was "married" in Vancouver to his long time partner Terry Miller, and they have an adopted son DJ.^[17] Around 2012 he launched a sex advice show on MTV targeted toward college students.^[18]

LGBTI schizophrenia

Although Savage claims "I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings...but I have a right to defend myself,"^[16] he does not give equal right to his opponents, regardless of his own feelings about it, to defend their position on criticising his antisocial tendencies and patterns of behaviors ^{[note 4]} that exhibit the traits of disturbed character, including the tactic of playing the victim role and the tactic of vilifying the real victim.

Notes

1. ↑ cf. Anti-Christian sentiment
2. ↑ Note: Slavery in the British Empire was abolished in result of Christian movement lead by Anti-slavery activist William Wilberforce. Slavery is far from being a Western Christian invention, it was ubiquitous, and it was only the Christian west that abolished it.^[1] For theological analysis of Christian attitude to slavery, cf. John Stott: The Message of Ephesians; For example: "In whatever way we Christians seek to defend ourselves and our faith against such criticism, it must never be by condoning slavery. For if the New Testament does not explicitly condemn slavery, it does not condone it either."^[2]
3. ↑ cf. "When Hitler was fighting for power, ... the fight against the Bible triggered its ramp. Especially the Old Testament was taken under the heavy fire. Everywhere you could hear and read: Well, the New Testament can be allowed to circulate for some time, because the teaching there in is about the God of love. Just one thing, the letters of Jew Paul must be eliminated from there, they smack too much of the Spirit of the Old Testament. As for the Old Testament itself - oh, that’s a terrible book, a dirty book, a horrifying book!" in Gnostic traits in Nazism
4. ↑ cf.Marriage vs. Homosexual Life-style
