| “We can learn to ignore the bulls— in the Bible about gay people… the same way we have learned to ignore the bulls— in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery[note 2], about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation. We ignore bulls— in the Bible about all sorts of things.” |
Dan Savage is a syndicated sex-advice columnist[5] for the Seattle Stranger, homosexual activist 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).[6]
Similarly to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels during the era of the Third Reich, who was famous of his crude and vulgar hate speeches against his political opponents,[7][8] 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 and bigotry that he'll bully teenagers and lick doorknobs to spite his ideological enemies.[6] As with many other attention-seeking, narcissistic, delusional and reality-detached liberal celebrities and personalities, Savage takes negative criticism against him for his deviant lifestyle and public disapproval of his actions, attitude and behavior and acts as if it were a "compliment",[9] despite the criticism not being intended to be a compliment or as approval of who he is or what he does.

Gary Bauer
In the year 2000, in revenge for comments Bauer made, Savage infiltrated Gary 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 Bauer may touch.[10] 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.[11][12]
Rick Santorum
After Santorum's statements on homosexuality[13] 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.[14] Savage later instigated a similar but ultimately unsuccessful campaign against Rick Warren.
It Gets Better
After a spike in news reports on homosexual youth suicides, Dan Savage started the It Gets Better project. The point of the project is to make videos assuring homosexual youths that their lives will "improve" after high school and college (despite the opposite being true due to the very nature of the homosexual lifestyle they choose to follow), and that bullying experienced for being homosexual will subside or be overcome by positive experiences.
In January 2012, the two gay teenagers who had made videos It Gets Better Project died by suicide(see also: Mental Health and Homosexuality).[15] Advocates of the homosexual agenda promote a a deviant lifestyle that is unhealthy and has higher substance abuse problems (See: Homosexuality and health). 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 received 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, 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.[16][17] It was reported that Savage engaged in verbal bullying as well.[17] 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."[18]
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 far short of.[3]
Personal life
Savage was raised as one of four children of a policeman 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".[14] In 2005, an open homosexual, Savage was "married" in Vancouver, Canada to his long time partner Terry Miller, and they have an adopted son DJ.[19] Around 2012 he launched a sex advice show on MTV targeted toward college students.[20]
LGBTI schizophrenia
Although Savage claims "I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings...but I have a right to defend myself,"[18] he does not give equal right to his opponents, regardless of his own feelings about it, to defend their position on criticizing his antisocial tendencies and patterns of behaviors [note 4] that exhibit the traits of disturbed character and narcissism, including the tactic of playing the "victim" role and the tactic of vilifying the real victim.
Donald Trump
Following the revelation by CNN that a valet of President Donald Trump had tested positive for COVID-19, Savage expressed his Trump derangement syndrome in a vicious tweet where, after quoting the CNN article (which reported that the test "...(raised) concerns about the President's possible exposure to the virus"), he replied "You misspelled 'hopes', @CNN", implying the substitution of "hopes" for "concerns" in the report.[21] Not surprisingly, that tweet received overwhelming mindless approval from Savage's equally TDS-afflicted Twitter followers, but it earned condemnation by AFTAH president Peter LaBarbera in a Twitter reply[22] after another Twitter user brought up the Gary Bauer incident from 2000.[23]
Notes
- ↑ cf. Anti-Christian sentiment
- ↑ 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]
- ↑ 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 Øivind Andersen points out, based on the Psalm 18:26, that the Bible claims the way how Biblical God treats a person is the very same as that person is treating Him.[4]
