Dan Savage is a liberal and homosexual advice columnist and is the man responsible for the Santorum Google smear campaign. He is a reporter for The Stranger, of Village Voice media.
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. [1] Savage later claimed that the article in which he detailed his campaign of biological terrorism was largely fictitious. [2]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.[3]
Santorum
After Santorum's statements on homosexuality[4] 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.
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.
Personal life
Savage was married in Vancouver to his long time partner Terry Miller, and they have an adopted son DJ.[5]
